Item Description

Framed Canvas Print of H. Hargrove painting This is a copy of one of Hargroves painting that has been printed on a 16 X 20 canvas with a frame of wood and linen. It is not new, but it is in excellent condition! One of Americas most popular living artists, H. Hargrove was born Nicolo Sturiano in Marsala, Italy, in 1941. The gift of a box of colored pencils on his tenth birthday sparked his interest in art. In 1964, he immigrated to America and soon accepted a position with a winery in upstate New York. Art, however, was never far from Nicolos personal agenda, and weekends would find him painting pictures of the weathered barns and covered bridges that dotted the landscapes of his newfound home. Before long, his art was displayed in the public tasting room. He earned his citizenship; enchanted with Americana, he adopted an American pseudonym under which to paint by opening a phone book, H. Hargrove. As his reputation grew, his work was collected across America and in Europe, and his collector base is constantly expanding. Renowned as a compelling visual storyteller, a veritable poet with a paintbrush, H. Hargrove epitomizes the quintessential story of the immigrant who achieves success by followingand ultimately livinghis American dream.
