Charles Wysocki

     The glory of America, with all its wit and wisdom, poetry and emotion, sights and sensations, is captured in the glowing, soaring, stirring, charming work of Charles Wysocki, whose unique vision and scope grows and develops as the great nation does.
     When his legion of loyal fans think of his art, they think of rolling, white cumulus clouds, as well as dark, angry, stormy skies. They think of bright winter snow scenes, and crisp views of autumn. They think of happy families, as well as lonely ladies in waiting - gazing out across the foamy, rocky waters for their seagoing mates.
     All this and more is the work of Charles Wysocki, one of the truly unique artists in, and of, America today. "I love this country so much," he says. "I spent my childhood on the west side of Detroit in the Polish enclave. In our neighborhood, people still talked about the oppression they had suffered in the Old World. The freedom in America amazed them."
     That freedom infuses the work of Wysocki,who shared the longing of his family for a better life through the joys and heartaches of his images. His fine art prints and posters show a nation of splendor and aching beauty.
     There's a sense of freedom, drama, and adventure in everything he does - from the simplest still life to the most complex landscape. But never does he lose the human content. "I want to explore the whole range of emotions," Our featured artist Charles Wysocki says. "I want drama and light, carefree times or a lonely, heartfelt memory."
