A Brief Overview

For over 80 years Caruso's work has borne witness to the barbarity, corruption and isolation of the modern age; from the stark ink & oils of the post war years; to the furious political sketches of the 1960’s; cutting etchings of the 1970’s & 1980’s; and finally, the meticulously crafted flower baskets & Roman ruins of the late 20th Century.

This is Caruso’s official website, focussing on the first 35 years of his life as an artist. These were the years when his fire burned strongest, before the promise of Communism evaporated and he began slipping into the tides of history.
