A lifelong appreciation of the native cultures in the Sonoran Desert was the DeGrazia paintings. Ettore, nicknamed Ted, met and married Alexandra, the daughter of Fox Theater owner Nicholas Diamos in 1936. Ted and Alexandria left an evening ballet performance in 1942 to head for the Palacio Municipal to see muralist Diego Rivera at work.
Tucson galleries showed no interest in exhibiting passionate DeGrazia paintings. This prompted Ted to buy an acre of land at Prince Road and Campbell Avenue to build his first adobe studio in 1944. The following year, Ted received a BFA and a Master of Arts titled Art and its Relation to Music in Art Education.
DeGrazia paintings became widely successful from 1960 to the mid 70s. Ted's gallery flourished with hundreds of thousands of yearly visitors. In 1976, a protestation against inheritance taxes on art works led Ted to haul 100 DeGrazia paintings on horseback and set them ablaze in the Superstition Mountains near Phoenix.
Munch paintings are known for the strong mental anguish that they displayed. This anguish is partly due to the way his father raised Edvard and his siblings. They were impounded with fears of hell and other deep seated issues.
Symbolism was the reference given to the style Edvard created for his Munch paintings. This style focused on the internal view of objects, rather than the exterior or what the eye could see. It was a design around the way Edvard felt, his repressed emotions, showcasing his inward feelings.
Among the emotions showcased in Munch paintings were life and death, love and terror and the feeling of loneliness. These were the feelings focused on by Edvard's work patterns. These emotions were depicted in the contrasting lines, darker colors, blocks of colors, somber tones and concise and exaggerated forms in his art works.
