Ettore "Ted" DeGrazia American, (1909-1982) A Merry Little Indian lithographic print ink signed and dated lower left. Biography from DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun Museum: Born in the mining town of Morenci, Arizona, Ted DeGrazia became one of Arizona's most prominent painters, illustrators, and graphic artists, resulting in his studio gallery being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. He lived most of his life near Tucson, and worked in his studio, open to the public, that he called "The Gallery of the Sun." His signature work is paintings and illustrations of 'angel-like' Southwest children, many of them Indian and Hispanic. He was the son of an immigrant father who was a copper miner for Phelps Dodge Company, but Ted, at age eleven, returned to Italy with his family for the next five years. When he returned to Morenci, he had forgotten most of his English and entered first grade at age 16. One of his teachers decided to Anglicize his name from Ettore to "Ted" because it was easier to spell. He did not graduate from high school until age 23. During this time, the Depression, he had developed interest and skill as a musician and earned money playing trumpet in local bands at houses of "ill repute." He attended the University of Arizona to learn to paint, but dropping out, went to Mexico City to study fresco techniques with social-real muralists Diego Rivera and Jose Orozco, who in turn were so admiring of his painting that they sponsored an exhibition of De Grazia's work. He also traveled extensively throughout Arizona, experimenting with ceramics and depicting on paper and canvas local people. In 1941, a special exhibit was held of work completed during these travels. In the late 1930s, he had his first trip to the Navajo Reservation, which stirred a special feeling for subjects he depicted from that time. Previously he had had much exposure to the other Arizona tribes--Pimas, Papagos, Apaches and Yaquis, but he became especially fascinated with the seemingly empty land, life around the trading posts, and children herding their sheep. He returned to Tucson from Mexico in 1943, and built an adobe studio and in 1945 earned his Master's Degree in music and art. His illustrations for greeting cards brought him early attention among Arizonans, but he was hurt that the University Art Department showed little interest in his accomplishments. This rejection caused him to go it alone, so he built his own gallery in Tucson from adobe and decorated it with Indian and Mexican motifs. His paintings were devoted to subjects related to the history of the region, and he was fascinated with the purity of their life before the infiltration of white civilization. However, the busy-ness of Tucson caused him in 1951 to build another gallery he called Gallery of the Sun. It was modelled after haciendas on Mexican ranches and was located in the Santa Catalina Mountains north of the city. About that same time, he formed a friendship with Buck Saunders, a gallery owner in Scottsdale, and Saunders held a one-man show of DeGrazia's work. To their amazement, it was a smashing success, and from that time DeGrazia's reputation was insured and he stayed exclusively with Saunders. In addition to painting, he also did textile designs and traveled to New York for that venture but was unhappy being away from Arizona and the Indian subject matter that inspired him. A piece that brought him national renown was Los Ninos, the Christmas card he designed as a commission from UNICEF. Over five million boxes of cards were sold. Following this success, he had wide distribution of his work in many forms--prints, serigraphs, decals, collector plates, needlepoint, cards, books and even key chains. He also wrote several books on painting. For a man of humble beginnings, he became an artist with much financial rewards and personal satisfaction of doing what he wanted to do. In 1976, he protested for himself and for other artists who had achieved financial success by burning in the Superstition Mountains some of his paintings because of what he perceived as unfair inheritance tax on artists' estates. Ted De Grazia died September 17, 1982 at age 72. He is buried at the site of his Gallery of the Sun near an adobe chapel he had designed and had built to honor the Virgin of Guadalupe. He had also established a De Grazia Foundation to provide funding for exhibitions of his work at the Gallery.

His legacy, preserved at his iconic Gallery in the Sun in Tucson, Arizona, stands as a testament to his unique vision and philanthropic commitment to the region's indigenous peoples. DeGrazia's art is a heartfelt testament to the beauty and resilience of life in the desert, often portraying children with large, expressive eyes and flowing hair, figures that possess an ethereal quality, evoking a sense of wonder, vulnerability, and quiet dignity.

This vibrant piece, measuring approximately 11.90 x 8.7 inches within its frame, captures the essence of childlike wonder and celestial harmony, featuring a carousel scene adorned with playful children and ethereal angels. The artwork bears DeGrazia's distinctive live signature on the lower left corner, a testament to its authenticity and direct connection to the artist's hand. Ted DeGrazia (1919-1982) was a quintessential Southwestern artist, born in Morenci, Arizona, whose life and work were deeply intertwined with the landscape and cultures of his native state. A multifaceted individual—miner, musician, and artist—DeGrazia became world-renowned for his unique artistic vision. His iconic "Gallery in the Sun" in Tucson stands as a testament to his legacy. DeGrazia's art style is instantly recognizable: an intuitive, often primitive approach characterized by bold, expressive brushstrokes, a vibrant, sun-drenched palette, and a focus on minimalist yet deeply emotional figures. He possessed an unparalleled ability to convey the innocence, resilience, and spiritual depth of children, particularly those of Native American and Hispanic heritage, through his heartwarming and often poignant compositions. The inspiration behind "Joy and Music" is a profound celebration of pure, unadulterated happiness and the magic of youth. The carousel, a timeless symbol of cyclical joy and fleeting moments of childhood bliss, becomes a stage for spirited children, their faces alight with delight. Above them, graceful angels hover, adding a spiritual or dreamlike dimension, as if bestowing heavenly blessings upon these precious moments of play. This print beautifully encapsulates DeGrazia's enduring fascination with the simple pleasures of life and the universal language of happiness and song.

Signed Ted DeGrazia 'Alone' Framed Print, Southwestern Art, Arizona Artist
Est: -
Condition: Overall, in very nice condition. The light-toned wooden frame exhibits minor scuffs, superficial scratches, and small nicks consistent with age and handling. The glazing is clear with no apparent damage. The matting appears clean. The backing paper shows some minor creasing and wear. The hanging wire is securely attached. Item Description Weight: 5lbs 9.4oz Discover a truly compelling piece of Southwestern artistry with this authentically signed Ted DeGrazia print, titled 'Alone'. This evocative work captures the profound essence of DeGrazia's unique vision, presented within a classic frame that perfectly complements its rustic charm. Ettore 'Ted' DeGrazia (1909-1982) was an American impressionist, painter, sculptor, composer, actor, and author, celebrated for his deeply empathetic portrayals of Southwestern life. Born in Morenci, Arizona, DeGrazia spent his life immersed in the desert landscape, drawing inspiration from the indigenous cultures and the resilient spirit of the region's children. His art became a beloved and iconic representation of Arizona's heritage. DeGrazia's distinctive artistic style is characterized by its vibrant, often earthy color palette, simplified forms, and profound emotional resonance. His figures, typically rendered with large, expressive eyes and an undeniable sense of innocence, convey a powerful connection to the vast desert and its inhabitants. His energetic, loose brushstrokes imbue each piece with a spontaneous and heartfelt sincerity, making his work instantly recognizable and deeply moving. The print 'Alone' is a quintessential example of DeGrazia's compassionate oeuvre. It depicts a solitary figure, likely a child, on horseback or leading horses, against a stark yet breathtaking desert backdrop. The title itself resonates with themes of isolation, unwavering resilience, and the quiet strength found within the boundless, often challenging, Southwestern wilderness. The emotional impact lies in the viewer's contemplation of the figure's journey, their symbiotic connection with the animals, and the profound sense of solitude that can be both a formidable challenge and a source of deep empowerment in nature. This piece invites introspection, highlighting the enduring human spirit in harmony with, yet often humbly dwarfed by, the grandeur of the natural world.
