Looking for a Painting? "Tony "The Bricklayer" Perniciaro, "I'm The Sky's Child", Mixed Media: Oil Crayon On Paper, Ca. 1983. Measures 29" X 41". Outsider Artist. Includes Original Receipt." A company by the name of Object Culture selling one of Tony Perniciaro's art pieces. I'm not sure if I have met the owner of this company. It seems very legitimate though. I was surprised when I first came across the Object Culture website listing the work because Tony rarely sold his art. There are also less considerate people who made off with some Tony The Bricklayer's creative legacy when he died in 2004. A reminder to always buy original artwork from reputable sources. "Anthony Perniciaro Was A Sicilian-American Painter-Poet; Born In 1917 In Brooklyn, New York And Passed Away In Boulder, Colorado In 2004. He Was A Prolific Self-Taught Artist Who Grew Up In Poverty During The Great Depression. His Work Has Been Described As Outsider Art And Is Heavily Influenced By His Life As A Laborer. Much Of His Work Is Also Focused On Social Commentary. His Book, Tony "The Bricklayer" Poem-Paintings Was Published By Delacorte Press In 1972. His Work Has Been Shown Across The United States In Various Galleries And Exhibitions." "Very Good Vintage Condition With Some Waviness To The Print." The description of the artwork and a brief, yet thoughtful (some regurgitated countless times) biography of Tony within quotation marks is from the @ObjectCulture website. Ad well as the images which are also courtesy of the previously mentioned business. #TonytheBricklayer #Art #Artist #Art4Sale #MixedMedia #OilPastels #OutsiderArt #ObjectCulture #SkysChild #Artwork #Poet #Poetry #SelfTaught #Bricklayer #Author #Writer #Colorado #Boulder #PuebloCO #PalmSprings #NewJersey #NewYork #Sicilian #Poverty #Brooklyn #Exhibitions #Galleries #ArtShow (at Object Culture) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd-3T7F9pc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fxxi6ymxij1
