"Portraits of DeGrazia"

January 20, 2012 - January 20, 2013

The spirit of Arizona artist Ted DeGrazia is captured in this special collection of more than 50 portraits by dozens of artists including Harley Brown, Louise Serpa, and Thomas Hart Benton. DeGrazia's personal connection with many of his fellow artists inspired these vibrant and wistful depictions that range from oil paintings and watercolors to sculpture and photography. The portraits were created over six decades, most before DeGrazia's death in 1982. Twelve of DeGrazia's self-portraits are included in the exhibition, which runs through January 20, 2013.

"Way of the Cross"

January 20, 2012 - April 15, 2012

The annual exhibit of DeGrazia's dramatic interpretation of the traditional Stations of the Cross also includes the resurrection of Jesus. The artist created these 15 original oil paintings for the Catholic Newman Center at the University of Arizona in 1964 where they were displayed for about a year. DeGrazia then replaced the originals with prints because of insurance and environmental concerns at the Center. A portfolio of prints is available at the gift shop.
