many of Frank Dininno’s works together,
as well as the chance to purchase these
works and own a piece of Sewickley’s
history.
Frank Dininno, who attended high
school in Ambridge, was inspired to
pursue art by a teacher there who
recognized his talent and took him to the
1930 Carnegie International. In 1939,
he was awarded a full scholarship to
the Art Institute of Chicago. After two
years, World War II disrupted his career
as an artist; he enlisted in the Navy and
spent the next four years as an aviation
radioman. Returning to Ambridge
after the war, he went to work for H.
H. Robertson as a draftsman. In 1956,
he married Helen Kruss, and in 1960
the couple moved with their family to
Sewickley. Working by day to support his
family, he spent all of his free time on his
art and soon amassed an impressive body
of work.
Dininno was a member of the
Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and
received its Distinguished Painting
Award in 1970. Among his many exhibits
throughout the country, major one-
man shows included two in 1980—at
the Entrance Gallery of the Carnegie
Museum of Art, and at the Gillman
Gallery in Chicago. His work is included
in numerous corporate and private
collections. He taught at Old Economy
and at Sweetwater Center for the Arts.
From the time he began painting until
he lost his eyesight in 1974, Dininno
produced some 6,000 works – not only
paintings, but also sculptures and prints.
Although his work does not lend itself
to an easy categorization, he has been
described as a Surrealist-Symbolist.
Hard, brilliant colors, strong outlines, a
very personal imagery and a limited use of
perspective characterize his canvases.
He said, “I want the person to look into
his own imagination and dream world. I
want them to think about the symbols, and
to keep asking why.”
The works will be on display in
Sweetwater’s lobby through June 8. All
works are for sale. Contact Alexandra
Watrous at awatrous@sweetwaterartcenter.
org with inquiries.
Sweetwater Center for the Arts
was established in 1975 to provide
opportunities to create and experience art.
Its mission is to enrich the lives of children
and adults by providing excellence in
arts education including classes in the
visual, performing, literary, and culinary
arts. Performances, exhibitions, lectures,
demonstrations and cultural programming
are also part of the center’s mission.
