Sylvia Spicuzza Paintings
American
Born in 1908, Sylvia Spicuzza was the daughter of noted painter Francesco Spicuzza. Sylvia devoted herself to teaching art to the students of Lake Bluff Elementary School in Shorewood, WI. During this time Sylvia produced a magnificent body of work that was undiscovered until her death. Sylvia's work is rich, diverse and fascinating collection of drawings, watercolors and prints from the 1920's to the 1990's. Her style ranges from early figurative drawings to regionalism, art deco, lyrical abstractions of every conceivable subject (both real and imagined), as well as figurative paintings that reflect the work of Picasso and Ernest Max in the 1930's and 1940's. Biomorphic and organic, Modernist images are presented with Sylvia Spicuzza's own unique sense of style, humor and fantasy.

East Santa Cruz Landscape: Yellow Farmhouse with Storm Clouds Oil Painting
By Jon Blanchette
Located in Denver, CO
East Santa Cruz (California) is a striking original oil painting on canvas board by noted California artist Jon Blanchette (1908–1987). This evocative landscape features a bright yellow farmhouse set against a backdrop of dramatic dark gray storm clouds, capturing the natural beauty and emotional contrast of the California coast. Blanchette’s expert use of light and color creates a compelling sense of both tranquility and approaching tension.
