Letterio Calapai was an Italian-American painter and printmaker, born in Boston, Massachusetts. He studied at the Massachusetts School of Art, the Beaux Arts Institute of Design, the Art Students League in New York, under Robert Laurent, and at the American Artists School, under Ben Shahn. Calapai received his first one-man exhibition at the Art Center in New York City, featuring his oiling paintings. During the 1940s he worked as William Hayter's personal assistant at Atelier 17, which piqued his interest in the printmaking medium.
