DeGrazia loved when critics referred to his artistic style as rebellious. He said he would get “scolded. To hell with that. If I want to stretch the neck of a horse, I’ll stretch it. If I want to paint a pink horse, I’ll paint it. That is what it’s all about––not doing it the way they want you to do it, but doing it your way.”

-Ted DeGrazia

Working on a painting of San Xavier Mission, DeGrazia was photographed by National Geographic and appeared in an article titled “From Tucson to Tombstone” in 1953. Happy Throwback Thursday!

In the early 1970’s, DeGrazia created a series of astrological paintings, drawings, and essays. Many have requested that I share the series with you as the zodiac signs change so here is a photo of DeGrazia’s “Aquarius”, have a great birthday month! ♒️

Someone once approached DeGrazia’s brother Greg and said, “You know, DeGrazia is improving.” Greg replied, “He paints just as bad as ever; you are the one who has improved in taste.”

A partnership with the Fuller Fabric Company in 1952 led DeGrazia to produce many small-scale and full-sized watercolor designs for printed textiles. Happy Throwback Thursday!
