Artist Statement:
Joseph Turkaly was
classically educated in the
arts at the Fine Arts Academy
in Zagreb, Croatia, and then
later received his Masters
degree from the Fine Arts
Academy in Rome, Italy in
1954. That year he won first
prize for sculpture at
National Student’s Exhibition
in Milan, Italy. After seeing
his works, the late Ivan
Mestrovic offered Joseph
Turkaly a position as his
assistant as the University of
Notre Dame in 1957. After Ivan
Mestrovic died in 1962, Joseph
took over his teaching
position at the University,
where he taught sculpting for
the next two years.
In 1965, he moved to
Cleveland, where he currently
lives. Here he accepted a
teaching assignment at Gilmour
Academy. At the time the high
school had no art department
and Joseph Turkaly laid the
foundation of a new curricular
option. The department
steadily grew under his
guidance and received many
accolades from state
accreditation committees.
Throughout Joseph’s career as
a teacher, he also was a
prolific sculptor,
commissioned to create many
public and private works.
Among them are; Moses, an
eighteen foot bronze on the
campus of Notre Dame, George
Washington, a nine foot bronze
outside the County Courthouse
in Buffalo, New...
