Francesco Jiaconino Spicuzza

Francesco Jiaconino Spicuzza (1883 - 1962) was active/lived in Wisconsin.  Francesco Spicuzza is known for Landscape, genre and still-life paintings.

Italian-born Francesco Spicuzza was primarily a Wisconsin painter who did portraits, still-lives and local landscapes.  He spent the first part of his life in near-poverty to become a painter.  An eternal optimist, in 1917, the artist reported: "I am happy and my only ambition now is to paint better and better until I shall have reached the measure of the best of which I am capable." (Spicuzza, 1917, p. 22).  His predilection for beach scenes germinated early: reportedly, the five-year-old boy first drew the outlines of his father's fishing boat in the sand on the seashore near their home in Sicily.  After setting himself up as a fruit peddler in Milwaukee, Spicuzza's father sent for his family when Francesco was eight years old.  For the following six years the boy was unable to attend school because of his job in his father's fruit and vegetable business.  The poor lad suffered a caved-in shoulder from carrying a heavy wooden crate.
