Kindle your imagination at the DeGrazia Gallery – Arizona Daily Star

At the studio where Ted DeGrazia lived, worked and died, Terry Wangsness reader remembers the mana Sunday visits. “I lived close by,” Wangsness told the Star on Facebook, and “I loved going there.”

We still can. Tucson’s most famous artist, who would have turned 106 next month, still has a big presence in Southern Arizona: the massive gallery and museum housing his paintings, figurines and plates at 6300 N. Swan Road. Writing in the Nov. 9 Star, Kevin Howard gave an architect’s perspective: “unencumbered by the rules, this master artist had incorporated intuitively and vigorously raw material, use of light, forced perspective and scale in a unique way. To call it a mere building does not seem quite right. It is a place in the desert, and retreat. I have returned there over the years remind myself That is the only limitation is our own imagination.
