Description:

Ted Degrazia "Going" Limited Edition Hand Colored Etching. 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.
