Joseph Giunta was born in Montreal on October 2, 1911. In 1925, when he was just 14, Joseph enrolled in night courses at the Monument National, and took drawing lessons by Adrien Hébert and Johnny Johnston. In 1930, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal alongside Félix Maillard and Joseph St-Charles. He also took courses with Edmond Dyonnet and furthered his studies at the Copley Society of Artists in Boston from 1935 to 1937.
Guinta started exhibiting his art in the 1930s at the Royal Canadian Academy and the Art Association of Montreal's Spring Exhibition. His first solo exhibition was with Marc-Aurèle Fortin in 1936. Until the 1960s, Guinta created traditional-style portraits, still life's, landscapes, urban scenes and nudes. In 1956, he embarked on a fact-finding and study trip to France and Italy.
In 1958 he began his abstract period. This abstraction gradually guided Giunta towards the powerful geometric constructions he achieved during the 1980s, and which forcefully highlighted the originality of a technique that matched his contemporary creative thinking, with regard to both process and form. In 1972-73, he created his "Collages and Constructions", breaking away from his previous works in order to conceive his own plastic synthesis and develop the most innovative and accomplished aspects of his art.
