Anthony Angarola (4 February 1893–15 August 1929[1]) was an American painter, printmaker, and art instructor.
Since he was an Italian immigrant himself, his work focused on people who struggled to adapt to a foreign culture.
[2] He also participated in the Carnegie International exposition in 1928, exhibiting his painting entitled Proud.
Two of his noted students were William S. Schwartz and Belle Baranceanu, with whom he was engaged at the time of his death.
Lovecraft made a reference to the works of Angarola in his short story "The Call of Cthulhu" and did the same in "Pickman's Model":[5]
