About the Item

Unique Pair (2) Hand Carved And Hand Painted Masterworks by Charles Pizzano (1893-1987) This is a beautiful matching pair (2) blue , red and gold hand carved and hand painted brilliant decorative wall works of art by celebrated artist Charles Pizzano, circa 1950. These works of art feature a sensitive carving of a young woman, with crests and fleurs-de-lis in hand painted gold against a floral back ground. Likely unique, this lovely pair was just one of Pizzano's prolific and unique artistic creations during his life time. Although his work can primarily be found across New England, over his long career he would be commissioned for pieces destined for such notable places as the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the American Red Cross Museum in Washington, D.C., the Vatican, Harvard University, and churches, cathedrals, colleges and universities across the United States. Dimensions: each 45 inches wide and 22 inches high Hand made, hand carved, and hand painted, only one pair. Provenance: Old New England collection. History: Charles Pizzano (1893-1987) was born in Torre Le Nocelle, Italy. His family immigrated to the United States in 1905. His interest in art began while attending the North Bennett Industrial School in Boston's North End. After his teachers convinced his parents to support his artistic education, Charles attended the Roman Art School under Professor G. DeBenedictis and famous sculptor Angelo Lualdi. Although his work can primarily be found across New England, over his long career he would be commissioned for pieces destined for such notable places as the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., the American Red Cross Museum in Washington, D.C., the Vatican, Harvard University, and churches, cathedrals, colleges, convents, and universities across the United States. Pizzano married Emma Ciampia (sister to sculptor Emilius Ciampia) and lived in Medford, Massachusetts, for over 45 years, summering for 20 years in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Upon leaving his studio in Boston, he later built a studio behind his home and continued working until his late 80s. He died at age 94 in 1987. We will be offering more Self Taught Outsider Folk Art in the near future. Schneible Fine Arts has been collecting and dealing in authentic American Self Taught Outsider Folk Art including these hand carved works of art, oil paintings, and pyrography works of art for more than thirty years.
