As he worked closely with his friend, Bob Blackburn, the two artists' works have often been confused, especially their early abstract work made in Paris in the early 1950s. Blackburn and Joseph befriended each other when they both were studying lithography under Reva Helfond at the Harlem Community Art Center in 1939.
