Italo Scanga Portrait Prints
American, Italian, 1932-2001
Italo Scanga was born in the Calabria region of Italy, and at 14 immigrated to the United States with his family after World War II. Living in Detroit, he worked on the General Motors assembly line and served in the United States Army before attending Michigan State University, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1960 and a master's degree in sculpture a year later.
Scanga worked in an amazing range of media from printmaking to ceramics, from found-object sculptures to works made of glass, cultivating a style that blended Cubist and folk influences. His penchant for transforming found objects into art translates into his printmaking style, where a recognizable collage-like composition is often evident.
Scanga was the recipient of numerous grants including two National Endowment for the Arts Grants (1989, 1980), a Copley Foundation Grant (1972) and a Howard Foundation Grant (1970), among others. He has had one-person shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, and the Museo Rufino Tamayo in Mexico City and elsewhere. His work is in the collection of many museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Yale University Gallery of Art, the San Diego Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, among others.to

Mujer de San Felipe
Located in Palm Springs, CA
Mujer de San Felipe presents a richly colored woodcut that portrays a young woman standing in a rustic scene framed by lush foliage and architectural elements. The confident posture, stylized line work, and bold palettes align closely with Oñate’s characteristic depictions of indigenous and rural Mexican life, where he frequently blended cultural representation with modern graphic sensibility.
Francisco Rodríguez Oñate (1940–2019) was a distinguished Mexican post-war and contemporary artist whose career extended over several decades throughout Mexico, the United States, and Latin America. Born in Michoacán, he received his education at the Escuela Popular de Bellas Artes at the University of Michoacán, where he studied under esteemed artists such as Alfredo Zalce, Roberto Martínez, and Javier Arévalo...
