Secunda is known for his brilliant collages, striking graphics, and iconic landscapes

Arthur Secunda was an internationally renowned artist whose art career began in Detroit in the 1940s. Secunda is known for his brilliant collages, striking graphics, and iconic landscapes of the late 1970s and 1980s, which incorporate a specific kind of color gradation and blending of forms.

Cleary University strives to provide an attractive, engaging, and “challenging” learning environment, which stimulates originality and creativity; develops natural curiosity; broadens perspective, and encourages interpretation through the search for meaning. Art is a catalyst for teaching and learning those important skills, which are keys to a successful business career.
