From the Nick and Suzanne Nicholas Collection we have a De Grazia Stained Glass Figure on Wooden Base, measures 11''H x 3''W, sticker on bottom reads ''Scottsdale Stained Glass Studio 5949 Fifth Ave. Scottsdale, AZ 85251, depicts Native American Woman carrying olla on top of her head, beautiful southwest colors, Ettore ''Ted'' DeGrazia (June 14, 1909 - September 17, 1982) was an American impressionist, painter, sculptor, composer, actor, director, designer, architect, jeweler, and lithographer. Described as ''the world's most reproduced artist'', DeGrazia is known for his colorful images of Native American children of the American Southwest and other Western scenes. DeGrazia also painted several series of exhibitions like the Papago Legends, Padre Kino, Cabeza de Vaca. Born to Italian immigrants, DeGrazia's family immigrated from San Pietro, Amantea, Calabria (Southern Italy). His parents, Dominic and Lucia DeGrazia, were strong people who worked very hard for their family of seven children. His father and uncles were copper miners in Morenci, Arizona Territory, where DeGrazia was born in 1909. Arizona achieved statehood in 1912. DeGrazia's graduation from Morenci High School was delayed until the age of 23. The family moved back to Italy in 1920. The move was a result of the Morenci mines closing that same year.
