About the Item

Signed lower right, "Cucaro" for Pascal Cucaro (American, 1915-2003). An icon of the Beat years in San Francisco's North Beach, Pascal Cucaro was the winner of numerous medals and awards and exhibited with success worldwide including at a one-man show at the Butler Institute of Art in 1958. A hard-cover, first-edition copy of Cucaro (Sentinel Art Books, 1969) accompanies this painting. Born to Italian immigrant parents, Cucaro worked in the circus during his childhood summers, the experiences giving him a lifelong interest in clowns, and circus life. After serving in World War II, he attended the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, then returned to Europe to spend time in France, Spain, and Italy where he furthered his art studies. Cucaro became a familiar part of the art scene during the lively 'Beat' years in San Francisco's North Beach, exhibiting his work at the centers of Beat life including at the Black Cat Cafe, the Iron Pot, the Lion Book Shop, City Lights, Vesuvio's, and the Hungry I. His 1958, one-man show at the Butler Institute of American Art was followed by further exhibitions in California, Hawaii and Japan. Cucaro was nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1965.
