Ettore DeGrazia Auction Price Results

Artist Ettore DeGrazia, also referred to as Ted, spent much of his childhood playing with the Apache children from a nearby reservation. Exposure to the Native American culture at an early age inspired DeGrazia's paintings. His work depicted the local tribe's children and legends, and he utilized a technique that used pops of natural color with dark shading. Many of DeGrazia's paintings of the children or Apache horses were converted into lithographs.

DeGrazia prints include a 1960 Christmas card for UNICEF of his painting Los Ninos, which brought him worldwide popularity. After the federal government tax laws on inheritance became strict in the 1970s, he staged a radical protest by taking more than 100 of his paintings up to his favorite camping ground on the Superstition Mountains in Arizona and setting them on fire.
