Description
Painting by the Famous Street Artist Oil on Board. Measures approximately 13 1/2\" x 26\". We have other pieces listed in this auction by this very artist as well! Frank Koci\"Art is not a question of infinite harmony with the universe but rather the infinite joy and sadness rising from one\'s experience.\"Frank Koci might have been called a Street Artist but this exceptionally creative artist was extremely more than that. In 1921 the 16-year old Frank Koci left his native Czechoslovakia, hoping to find better opportunities in America. He and his mother had been living close to poverty. His father was killed in Italy fighting for the Austrian Empire in the Great War and they had been living on a meager pension. His mother was a very religious woman and an uncle was a preacher. Koci in his memoirs had much to say about religion: he had no use for it. \"Religion is not only an opium, it\'s insanity\" and \"Capitalist - Religious tyranny\", \"And nothing is more materialistic than the church and the fear of death that makes for plenty of jobs for the priesthood.\"
