Sylvia Spicuzza Landscape Drawings and Watercolors

American
Born in 1908, Sylvia Spicuzza was the daughter of noted painter Francesco Spicuzza. Sylvia devoted herself to teaching art to the students of Lake Bluff Elementary School in Shorewood, WI. During this time Sylvia produced a magnificent body of work that was undiscovered until her death. Sylvia's work is rich, diverse and fascinating collection of drawings, watercolors and prints from the 1920's to the 1990's. Her style ranges from early figurative drawings to regionalism, art deco, lyrical abstractions of every conceivable subject (both real and imagined), as well as figurative paintings that reflect the work of Picasso and Ernest Max in the 1930's and 1940's. Biomorphic and organic, Modernist images are presented with Sylvia Spicuzza's own unique sense of style, humor and fantasy.

"Milkweed Pod I #528" Original Charcoal Drawing
By Sylvia Spicuzza
Located in Milwaukee, WI
In this drawing, Sylvia Spicuzza presents the viewer with a dark, subtle view of two milkweed pods, bursting forth with cotton. Examples like this show the ability of Spicuzza to draw in a naturalistic style, where most of her work is usually in a highly stylized, graphic mode. The richness and depth of the black charcoal makes for a moody image. 8 x 5 inches, artwork 18 x 14.5 inches, frame Born in 1908, Sylvia Spicuzza was the daughter of noted painter Francesco Spicuzza.
