American, (1915 – 2004). Back of Painting Reads. Faded Stamp: Cory Gallery, San Francisco stamp verso. Oil on masonite board. Cucaro is one of the great mid-century artists. He’s highly collected. This is one of his abstract subjects with San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in the background. The painting is on canvas board and measures 16″ x 12″ and is in good condition. This will brighten any room with it’s bold colors and figurative Urban Scene. Here we have a lively, robust & original painted by Cucaro. With such action, life, and hidden things to discover, Cucaro truly captured feelings like no other. More figurative than abstract, with bold blues-complimented nicely by red accents dotting the crowd. Feel the hustle and bustle in the air, and the energy beckoning from this iconic painting. Pascal (Pat) Cucaro was born in Youngstown, Ohio on November 6, 1915, to Italian immigrant parents. He worked in the circus during his childhood summers — the experiences giving him a lifelong interest in clowns, and circus life. His painting style is characterized by a bold gestural quality, complimented by a thick application of paint. In some cases, the artwork has paint so thick it seems to have been applied straight from the tube. He became part of the art scene during the lively’Beat’ years in San Francisco’s North Beach section, and exhibited his work at the Black Cat Cafe, The Iron Pot, The Lion Book Shop, The City Lights Book Shop, Vesuvio’s, and The Hungry I. He was nominated for the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1965. He traveled extensively abroad to find new inspirations for his work — to Japan, Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka, China, Greece, Turkey, Israel, Tahiti, and throughout Europe. He has explored a variety of subjects: clowns, circus scenes, boats, street scenes, still lifes, coffee shops, crowd themes (what Cucaro calls “people-people” paintings) animals, abstracts, portraits, and mediums such as oils, acrylics, plastic, ceramics, watercolors, tempera, etchings, india ink, ink/wash, and prints. From his Parisian sojourn, from his studies in private studios, his long strolls along the length of the Seine or across the French countryside, he has brought back pictures which some feel vibrate with some of the magic of his masters; Cezanne, Lautrec, Utrillo and Dufy.

He worked in the circus during his childhood summers — the experiences giving him a lifelong interest in clowns, and circus life. He was a familiar figure on the bohemian San Francisco art scene in the 1940s and 1950s. His painting style is characterized by a bold gestural quality, complimented by a thick application of paint. In some cases, the artwork has paint so thick it seems to have been applied straight from the tube. Cucaro’s color-splashed pictures — which included images of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sausalito waterfront and his daughter, Angelique — caught on, and were a staple for many years at the Cory galleries on Geary Street and at Fisherman’s Wharf.
