Francesco Jiaconino Spicuzza (1883 - 1962) American
Est: $3,500 - $5,000
Francesco Jiaconino Spicuzza (1883 - 1962) Oil on board, signed lower left, measures12 x 16 inches and 17.5 x 21 inches. Italian-born Francesco Spicuzza was primarily a Wisconsin painter who did portraits, still-lives and local landscapes. He spent the first part of his life in near-poverty to become a painter. An eternal optimist, in 1917, the artist reported: "I am happy and my only ambition now is to paint better and better until I shall have reached the measure of the best of which I am capable." (Spicuzza, 1917, p. 22). His predilection for beach scenes germinated early: reportedly, the five-year-old boy first drew the outlines of his father's fishing boat in the sand on the seashore near their home in Sicily. After setting himself up as a fruit peddler in Milwaukee, Spicuzza's father sent for his family when Francesco was eight years old. For the following six years the boy was unable to attend school because of his job in his father's fruit and vegetable business. The poor lad suffered a caved-in shoulder from carrying a heavy wooden crate.

Est: $1,050 - $1,300
ARTIST: Francesco J Spicuzza (Italian, Wisconsin, 1883 - 1962) NAME: River Landscape MEDIUM: oil on canvas board CONDITION: Very good. No visible inpaint under UV light. SIGHT SIZE: 14 x 20 inches / 35 x 50 cm FRAME SIZE: 20 x 26 inches / 50 x 66 cm SIGNATURE: lower right CATEGORY: antique vintage painting AD: ART CONSIGNMENTS WANTED. CONTACT US SKU#: 119728 US Shipping $75 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Francesco J. Spicuzza, American, was born in Sicily on July 23, 1883, came to America at the age of 8. He died in Wisconsin 1962. He supported himself as a fruit peddler until a newspaperman gave him $4 a week to go to school. He attended classes at the Milwaukee Art Students League, where he studied under Alexander Mueller. There he learned to paint in the then-fashionable Munich School technique, with detailed realism in heavy browns and grayed-out hues. Spicuzza completed eight grades in four years, and then in 1911, three businessmen advanced him enough money to allow him to study in New York under artist and teacher John Carlson. It was during this time that Spicuzza changed his style of painting, developing an impressionistic use of color , form and atmospheric renditions. After a period of grinding poverty, one of Spicuzza's pictures won a major New York competition. It was the first of 60 wins, both in the U.S. and Paris. He became a fashionable painter, and many of the leading collections have his work. Spicuzza's typical works were beach scenes, still life, landscapes and portraits done in pastels, oils, ink, charcoal and watercolors. Much of his work traced the history of Milwaukee in the early 1900s. He was probably best known for his scenes of women and children splashing in the waves at Bradford and McKinley beaches. Spicuzza married Amber E. Breckow in 1907. They had two daughters, Sylvia and Marguerite (Mrs. Sydney Hambling). His wife Amber believed in Spicuzza's work and had been the one to urge him to set up a studio. He used to say that her encouragement was largely responsible for making him stick to his art. Described as a gentle and tolerant man, Spicuzza accepted new schools of art but retained his own style. As modern art caught up with him and then passed him, he said with a wry smile, I was considered crazy–far out–then. Now I'm thought old-fashioned, conservative. Later in his career, Spicuzza taught at the Milwaukee Art Institute and also gave private art lessons. He painted up until just weeks before he passed away; he died of pneumonia at age 78. Spicuzza's genuine love for life was captured in the joyous subjects of his paintings. I want to paint happiness, he said.

Biography: Francesco Spicuzza was born in Termini, Sicily and came to Milwaukee with his parents when he was a child. Spicuzza's early art training began when a Milwaukee businessman arranged for Spicuzza to have art classes with Wisconsin artist Robert Schade. While in his mid-twenties, Spicuzza studied with Alexander Mueller at the Milwaukee Art Students' League and had a one-person exhibit at the Milwaukee Art Society in 1915. He then left Milwaukee briefly to study Impressionism for a summer under John Carlson in Woodstock, New York. Spicuzza taught art at the Milwaukee Art Institute and during the 1940s in his studio. He was also a member of the Wisconsin Painters & Sculptors and his work was featured in many one-person and selected group exhibitions, including the Chicago Art Institute in 1912.
