Francis DiFronzo Art

Francis DiFronzo was born in November 1969 in San Pedro, California. At a young age, he discovered that visual art could transport him to different places and eras. It was this experience coupled with his affinity for the craft, that solidified his commitment to becoming a painter. After receiving his BFA in 1994 from the University of California, Fullerton, DiFronzo moved to Philadelphia, where he continued his studies in drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and where he earned his MFA in 1996. DiFronzo has been awarded several prestigious grants, including the Stobbart Foundation Fellowship in Arts in 1998 and the Pew Fellowship in Arts in 2004.

Born in San Pedro, California in 1969, Francis DiFronzo has been painting and exhibiting his artwork in the United States for more than thirty years.

When I looked at paintings by Andrew Wyeth or Edward Hopper, I felt as though I was momentarily living in the worlds they created. I wanted to do the same thing. I wanted my work to have that power." After receiving his B.F.A in 1994 from California State University, Fullerton, DiFronzo moved to Philadelphia, PA where he continued his studies in drawing and painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. There he worked and learned under the guidance of artists Murray Dessner...

Located in ludlow, GB

Early Twentieth Century Aviation Vintage Aircraft Airplane Framed Gouache Painting of Imperial Airways Hannibal. One of a set of three that were painted by the well known Artist and Illustrator Charles Thomas Howard. Each was painted to be published as postcards so these are the original artworks. They are in good clean condition with fresh and vibrant colours I have had them framed in handmade gold frames with a flecked cream mount. Can be sold individually or as a set, they look really striking displayed together. “Three Studies of Airplanes” Gouache, Signed and Framed. Charles Thomas Howard was born in Boston, Lincolnshire in 1865 and after he married in 1905 moved to London where he pursued his career as Painter and Illustrator. He did many works that were produced as postcards as these three all were. He worked for at least three publishers and was incredibly highly sought after. His work was diverse but he specialised in Aviation, Railways and Military subjects. His work is held in many Art Libraries including the Bridgeman and as postcards have been reprinted many times over the years and still resonate with todays audiences.
