The Life and Art of Daniel Celentano
Born in Manhattan, United States, Daniel Celentano was the son of Italian immigrants. Following a childhood polio attack that left him with partial use of his right leg, he was tutored at home by art teachers. Through perseverance, he regained control over his leg by age twelve, at which time he became the first pupil of the social realist painter Thomas Hart Benton. His formal training included studies at the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the New York School of Fine And Applied Art in Greenwich Village, and the National Academy of Design in New York's Upper East Side.
Celentano was an American Scene artist who focused on realistic paintings of everyday life in New York, particularly within the Italian neighborhood of East Harlem. His work often depicted the humble domestic life and the vibrant characters of Manhattan's ethnic street life. Notable works include:

During World War II, he worked in the art department of the Grumman Aircraft Corporation, where he created the mural The Flight of Man.
