Ted DeGrazia was an interesting native Arizonian who I want to learn more about. I'm sure he was quite a character. He was definitely an individualist who seemed to love his state and the original people who homesteaded.
His art has lots of movement and color. Preferred to work in oil with a knife, but also did pen and pencil along with watercolor and chalk. many collections - children, bulls, rodeo, and other topics. Also worked with metal, clay and other mediums.
Diego Rivera, whose art I enjoy, actually sponsored an exhibition by DeGrazia.
I enjoyed my visit to his studio/gallery, the chapel and grounds.
Enjoy.
