Biography photo for Joseph Raffael
Joseph Raffael, painter and printmaker, was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1933.  He studied at Cooper Union, New York City, 1953-54, and received a Summer Fellowship to the Yale-Norfolk School in 1954.  He received his BFA degree from the Yale University School of Art, 1954-56, studying with Josef Albers.
