He was also the chief curator of the Art Gallery of Ontario (1969–1972) and the founding editor of London's Art and Artists magazine. He studied Art Nouveau for 35 years, some of this under the teaching of artist Mark Rothko. BackgroundMario Anthony Amaya[1] was born in Brooklyn in 1933. After graduating from Brooklyn College in 1958, he went to England and became the assistant editor of the Royal Opera House magazine About the House from 1962 to 1968, and while still in England became the founding editor of Art and Artists magazine from 1965 to 1968. He also wrote books on art, such as Pop As Art: A Survey of the New Super Realism (1965), Art Nouveau (1966), and Tiffany Glass (1967).
