This photograph was taken in Ettore "Ted" DeGrazia’s studio at his Gallery in the Sun in Tucson, Arizona. It’s a detail of his palette and some of his paints.
DeGrazia (1909 – 1982) was an American artist who worked in a variety of media including painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry and other art forms. He has been called "the world's most reproduced artist." In 1976 he set fire to about 100 of his paintings, worth about 1.5 million dollars, to protest inheritance taxes on artworks.
Today, the Gallery in the Sun Museum, designed and built by the artist, houses 15,000 of his paintings in rotating exhibitions.
