Remembered as one of Arizona’s most prominent artists, Ted DeGrazia traveled to Mexico City from humble beginnings to study under renowned Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and Jose Orozco, who sponsored an exhibition of DeGrazia’s work. He received a BFA and M.A. from the University of Arizona while his paintings, ceramics, and graphic art gained national recognition. In 1960, his 1957 painting titled Los Niños was chosen by UNICEF for a holiday card that sold over five million boxes worldwide.
