DeGrazia loved when critics referred to his artistic style as rebellious. He said he would get “scolded. To hell with that. If I want to stretch the neck of a horse, I’ll stretch it. If I want to paint a pink horse, I’ll paint it. That is what it’s all about––not doing it the way they want you to do it, but doing it your way.”

While living in Bisbee, Arizona in the 1930’s DeGrazia started creating art as a social statement about class struggle. “Mining” is a triptych depicting mining companies and the indispensable role of the workers who operate the machinery. Happy Throwback Thursday!

“Mining”, oil on canvas, from 1936 will be on display in our new exhibit “DeGrazia Underground: Miners and Prospectors of the Old West”. Please join us tomorrow evening, from 5-7pm, for our opening reception. The event is free and open to the public.
