Wysocki, Jr. (November 16, 1928 – July 29, 2002) was an American painter, whose primitive artworks depict a stylized version of American life of yesteryear. While some of his works show horseless carriages, most depict the horse and buggy era. Wysocki released his paintings in popular art prints and merchandised with calendars, collector plates, tins, greeting cards, wallpaper and jigsaw puzzles.Charles M. Wysocki, Jr., was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Charles M. Wysocki and Mary K. Wysocki. His father was born in Poland, while his mother was born in Kansas to Polish-born parents.At Cass Technical High School in Detroit he studied art. In 1950 while working in local art studios, he was drafted into the Army and spent his two-year hitch in West Germany. After his service he went to the ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles under the G.I. Bill, where he studied to be a commercial illustrator. After working in that field in Detroit for four years, he returned to Los Angeles where he helped to form a freelance advertising agency.In 1960, he met Elizabeth G. Lawrence, an art graduate of University of California, Los Angeles, whom he married on July 29 of that year in Los Angeles. Through his wife, whose family were early settlers in the San Fernando Valley, Wysocki came to appreciate a simpler, more rural life than that of the big city. Together they made many trips to New England, which served to nurture his interest in early American folk art. For a while, he continued his lucrative commercial art work while developing primitive art in his spare time. Eventually, though, he devoted all of his attention to this new interest. His focus was on Americana landscapes of old New England, with antiques, fall colors, snow scenes and picturesque barns. Also popular were a few works featuring cats, such as sleeping cats populating a bookshelf.
