Designed and built by the artist, DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun is considered by many to be his masterpiece. As Marion said, “DeGrazia had a vision. He knew exactly what he was doing… When it was ready, we opened the door and the people kept flooding in.” That was in 1965, and people from around the world continue to visit the legendary landmark of art and architecture. The site is on the National Register of Historic Places and is included in National Geographic’s Geotourism MapGuide to the Sonoran Desert. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Last throwback to London! Probably. Can't promise you anything. (:
Here's a pic of our flight back home.
Some things haven't changed. Just inside the park, the rental area still has the old signage and looks like a throwback.
In the early 1970’s, Southwestern artist Ted DeGrazia became fascinated with the medium and created hundreds of enameled copper and silver objects including pieces of jewelry, sculptures, and enamel on copper paintings. Happy Throwback Thursday!
Please join us for the opening reception of “Enamel on Copper Paintings of Ted DeGrazia”! January 30th, from 5-7pm, at the Gallery in the Sun.
After his early paintings were first published in Arizona Highways magazine, DeGrazia traveled to Mexico City to work with mural masters Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, who sponsored a solo exhibition of DeGrazia’s artwork at the prestigious Palacio de Bellas Artes in 1942. Happy Throwback Thursday!
