When Steel Talks

Historical Steelpan Paintings
To Be Auctioned

 

During the last week in August 2005 the collection of paintings by artist Trinidadian Joseph Charles on the history and development of the steelpan will be on exhibition and for sale by private auction. This collection was exhibited during last year's carnival (2004) at The National Museum and Art Gallery in Trinidad and Tobago for six weeks.  It had been originally scheduled for two weeks but held over by public demand.

About The Artist  - Joseph Charles

Born on January 14th 1948 in Penal, San Francique Trinidad. His family internally migrated to Toco where he completed his primary education at Cumana Toco Seven-Day Adventist Primary School. At this primary school he was taught art and because of the talent shown he was selected by the then principal of the school to do a special workshop designed for the art teachers of all the schools in that region. A program sponsored by the then Government of the day.
