After the mass reproduction of DeGrazia’s oil painting “Los Niños” in 1960, he became known as one of the most reproduced artist in the world. As Marion DeGrazia recalled, “When we went to New York, when they were doing the UNICEF card Los Niños, we went in the gate and these great, tall Swiss guards said, ‘Oh, you can’t come in here’. He was wearing his boots and his cowboy hat. And just in time, somebody from the party came down and said, ‘No, he’s the guest of honor. Bring him in’…It was for children, of course. They sold, they say, a million boxes.” Happy Throwback Thursday!

DeGrazia demonstrated his talents in the studio of NBC’s Today show in 1960 and received this letter from producer Robert J. Northshield. “I enjoyed your appearance on the TODAY show this morning very much and I am most anxious to let you know how grateful I am for your help. I rarely get a chance to get to the studio during the taping of the show, but I watch it on a closed circuit in my office and again, with my family each morning. Your performance was enjoyable in both instances. Thank you again from the entire staff of TODAY.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
Throwback Thursday: (Let's try to get back in the groove of this here)
This is me and my cousin Justin, circa 1993 or 1994, in a park playing our Gameboys.
Things of note: Gameboys are from 1989. I still have mine and it works but i have misplaced it in the last couple of years. Justin is small for his age, i dont even know how old he is here but he is a prodigy and we played Nintendo all the time...
I am wearing a Pearl Jam "Alive" shirt which has since disintegrated.
I particularly find this photo hilarious b/c we are in this beautiful park, in nature, and what are we doing...our generation was so far ahead of today's generation, i tell ya!
In the early 50's DeGrazia started working on ceramics. This is when he perfected his copper-based glaze. NBC studios recorded a newsreel, called 'Watch the World,' where they filmed DeGrazia and Marion making these ceramics. He used original molds and his inspirations were taken from desert shapes and colors. Happy Throwback Thursday!
