In a 1966 article entitled “Texture” for Mountain States Architecture magazine, DeGrazia said, “When a man is creating a building or a painting it must be–first and last–a thing of beauty with good proportions and harmony. These qualifications are things of the spirit, of the soul, and of the mind.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
This week we are going back thirty-seven years to 1986 and KC 195 at Sutton Station. The bus is operating a service on route 102. This route started running between Sutton Station and Malahide in 1986, and was one of the DART Feeder bus routes introduced around that time. These routes were designed to provide frequent connections into the new electrified train service in Dublin. In March 2008, the 102 was merged with route 230, and the new route 102 started running between Sutton Station and Dublin Airport, going via Malahide and Swords. In December 2018, Go-Ahead Ireland took over the operation of the route.
KC 195 was new to CIE in Dublin in 1986. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the late-1990s and joined the Bus Eireann school fleet down in Tralee. It was withdrawn by 2006.

The design on the left was what they used when Throwback was first released in 2009. The design on the right is the current design, which is also the design Pepsi used back in the 80s.
Check out the evolution of the Vernon E. White Building for our June 26, 2014 Throwback Thursday photo. The color photo was taken June 25. The black-and-white is from sometime in 1964, during construction of VEW with Lloyd Spaulding, PCC's first president, looking on. Spaulding resigned from what was known then as Pitt Technical Institute in August 1964 to take a position in Atlanta, Ga. VEW opened its doors to students a month later.
DeGrazia was sitting Rosita's Mexican restaurant (located next to his gallery) and a man walked in and shouted to him from across the room. He said," Hey! You DeGrazia?!" DeGrazia did not reply, and kept talking with his friend. The man, who obviously did not like DeGrazia, strode over to DeGrazia's table and interrupted him. He said to DeGrazia, "You're that guy who thinks you can paint on whatever you want, right? No rules, you just do whatever you want!" DeGrazia still did not say anything. There was a basket of tortillas on the table, so DeGrazia took one out and began to paint it. When he finished, he took his brush and he autographed the angry man's clean, white shirt. Before the man stormed out, cursing at DeGrazia, the only thing DeGrazia said to him was, "Now I have painted on everything." The man did not bother to take his original tortilla painting with him, so DeGrazia kept it and it is on display at the Gallery In the Sun. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Moving with his family from Oakland, CA Robert Spray settled in Tucson, AZ where he established a silkscreen shop. He began painting portraits as a student at McClymonds High School, which led to a scholarship at the CCAC. During the 1930s he was employed on the Federal Art Project. Screen printer Robert Spray beautifully captured Ted DeGrazia’s artistic style and color palette in this series of prints he produced for the DeGrazia Studios in the early 1950’s. Happy Throwback Thursday!
A very limited number of these unsigned and unnumbered screen prints are available for purchase in our gift shop at the Gallery in the Sun, $175.00 (unframed) or $250.00 (framed).
