Here is some info on the artist: If you’re familiar with Rhode Island, you’re probably familiar with the Wickford Art Festival. But are you familiar with the festival’s unofficial founder, John E. Huszer? As you know I am passionate about art and artists, and with a recent collection we’ve received at Bruneau and Co, I cannot pass up the opportunity to talk about this Rhode Island artist with such a crucial role in Rhode Island art history! After studying at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League of New York, John Huszer (1912-1983) moved to Rhode Island to live, teach, and create. He was known as an independent and reclusive artist, spending years dividing his time between a tiny island in Wickford Harbor and teaching from downtown Wickford. A man of small means, Huszer painted on newsprint because it was readily available; If you’ve got a sharp eye, you can even spot some vintage Rhode Island newspapers in the background of his work! In fact, the whole reason the Wickford Art Festival came to be is because he took to selling his paintings on the streets of Wickford in the 1950’s. Little did he know his business technique would become be wildly popular! John’s selling success inspired other local artists to bring their work to the street, and in 1962 the Wickford Art Association officially established the Wickford Art Festival, which draws dozens of artists and hundreds of attendees to Wilson Park in Wickford every year. While he was a private man and didn’t intend it, John Huszer thus became known as the “Father” of the annual event. Can you believe (July 8-9) 2023 will mark the festival’s 60th anniversary!?
