About the artist:
Mr. Pizzuto was born in Waterbury, Conn., the youngest in a family of four children. He and his wife, Laura Pizzuto, also an accomplished artist, met while both were art students at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
"He had very definite ideas about art and his judgment about painting He made is home in Seattle since he took the UW teaching post in 1957.
Besides an art degree from the University of Wisconsin, Mr. Pizzuto earned a master's degree in fine arts from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
"He always had six or seven or eight, or even 20 notebooks going in addition to a canvas and other projects he was working on. His works have been exhibited in galleries, and is held in collections throughout the country and abroad.
An art reviewer once wrote: "Pizzuto's surety of touch distills each vista into the freshness of spring; each nude into a Muse. Nothing feels labored or reined in. Clearly, a mature artist's hand is at work, dashing off drama and magic, responding to gut emotions rather than analyzed thoughts." See less
