About the Item
Signed lower right, 'A. Sottosanti' for Angelo Anthony Sottosanti (American, 1917-2004); additionally signed, verso, titled, 'Pedro of Tehuan Tepee, Mexico' and painted circa 1940.
Angelo Sottosanti was born in Pennsylvania and first studied at the Beaux Arts Institute of Design. He subsequently attended the Da Vinci School and the Art Students League in New York. In 1938, he worked in New York on murals for the Works Progress Administration. The following year he toured Mexico on a motorcycle with a sidecar full of art supplies and became inspired by the work of Jose Clemente Orozco. While in Mexico, the subjects of his paintings were the people he met on his travels down to Tehuantepec.
In 1940, Sottosanti was invited to exhibit his work at the Fine Arts Building at San Francisco's Golden Gate International Exposition (GGIE). While there he also worked with Diego Rivera, grinding and mixing color for Rivera's fresco mural in the "Art in Action" section of the exposition. In 1941, Sottosanti, with many other New Deal artists, took up residence in the famous "Monkey Block" building in San Francisco. In the 1940s and 1950s, he held solo exhibits at the Palace of Fine Arts, the San Francisco Museum of Art, and the Crocker Museum in Sacramento as well as in many San Francisco galleries.
