About the Item

This painting is by the noted American artist Charles Wysocki (1928-2002). The painting is composed of acrylic on canvas and measures 14” x 11” (14.75”x11.75” framed). It is signed in the lower right, “Charles Wysocki.” It is titled on the reverse “Wight Grist Mill”. Wight Grist Mill is a replica of an old grist mill in Old Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts. The painting is in very good condition. The simple frame is in good condition with a few very tiny flecks of gold paint missing from the front. I am fairly certain the painting is from the 1960s because the label on the reverse has a zip code as well as a telephone number that stars with two letters. Charles Wysocki, a first generation American, Wysocki, of Polish heritage, was born in Detroit in 1928. He describes the early years in Detroit as "tough times" and says, "I didn't have a perfect childhood. Nobody does because it's not a perfect world. I did have a wonderful childhood because I made it a wonderful world." The community that Charles grew up in consisted mostly of immigrants who took great pride and pleasure in celebrating the traditions of their new homeland. These joyous opportunities and celebrations offered by American freedom became the theme of what Charles would remember and portray in his artwork. Wysocki's father wanted Charles to become a mathematician. Charles graduated from Technical High School in 1946. He enlisted in the Army and did duty as a sign painter. In 1954, Wysocki enrolled through the GI Bill, at The Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles. He began a career as a commercial artist in Detroit. He soon abandoned it for the more independent life of freelancing. Returning to California, he married and established his home there. When Wysocki was a commercial artist, he longed for a more creative outlet. In 1960, on a family vacation to New England, his wife Elizabeth, urged him to pursue a career in fine art. With his wife's steady encouragement Wysocki started painting. He took some of his work to a gallery and was offered a one-man show. Within a month, all of the 40 paintings sold. Wysocki has been designing and painting an award winning annual Americana calendar since 1971. He contributed his painting. "The White House Fourth of July Picnic," to the presidential art collection in 1983 during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. In 1987, he was awarded the Medal of Honor from The Daughters of the American Revolution for artwork that "exemplifies our heritage and for the values that have made our country strong." Charles Wysocki passed away July 29th, 2002. Wysocki has two published books, "An American Celebration" and "Heartland."
