Note: Charles Wysocki created his own stylized views of America’s past, exemplified in the painting offered here. The artist studied advertising illustration and design at the Art Center School in Los Angeles in the 1950s and pursued a career in commercial art while simultaneously working privately on works that represented his love of rural life and Americana. Eventually, painting became Wysocki’s sole focus, resulting in a successful oeuvre that has been much beloved and extensively reproduced in a wide variety of forms since the 1970s. The original canvas, “Confection Street”, lot 3, is one the artist’s true masterpieces, depicting his cheerful, nostalgic and detailed approach to a streetscape.
