Cave was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina. He attended the University of Georgia between 1954-1958 where he majored in painting. Wherever Joseph Cave looks, he sees a world of vitality and color, and it is that world he redesigns on canvas. In the tradition of the early landscape artists, both the American scene painters and the French impressionists, he paints from life and every stroke considers the fleeting moment. Trained as an abstract expressionist, line and shadow provide the surface and depth for his forms. Intense hues add emotion. Cave's technique of thick, lustrous brush strokes that retain the integrity of the medium before suggesting nature's form is reminiscent of Van Gough, but there the comparison ends. While Van Gogh's canvases writhe with an intolerable energy that sends out messages of caution, Cave's invite and beckon, but never intimidate. Optimism floods these canvases whether the theme examines a freshly mowed field or an out-of-date railroad trestle. Even his flowers are not nature mort, but brilliant clusters of living things.
