Joseph Fuchs
Joseph Fuchs artwork mainly consists of oil paintings & drawings, and he has based much of his work on Venetian scenes, many of which he has visited during his extensive travels. In 1997, he lived for six months in Venice, Italy - an experience that softened, and extended the values of his palette. Since the mid-2000s, he has expanded the scope of his subject matter from not only Venetian scenes but also to include natural landscapes of sights seen throughout his travels.
​Joseph Fuchs was born in Palo Alto, California, in 1943, and now resides in Los Altos, California. His formal training began in high school and culminated in 1965 when graduated from San Jose State University in Fine Arts with an emphasis in portrait painting.
Upon graduating he served in Vietnam as a medic. After three years in the Army, he returned to graduate school and earned a teaching credential in art and English. For thirty-three years he taught English at Menlo-Atherton High School, Atherton, California. In 2003 he retired from teaching to paint full time.
Since 1991, he has had many shows and exhibitions on the Peninsula, in San Francisco, throughout the United States, in Florence and Venice, Italy, and in Asia.
