"1928-2002
The Inspiration behind the art of Charles Wysocki can be summed up in one word, love-his love of country, love of family and love of life. ""Chuck"" was born in 1928 in a Polish enclave of Detroit. Growing up in this community of immigrants surrounded him with people who celebrated the history and traditions of their special joys in the enormous opportunities offered by American freedom. These impressions and feelings instilled memories of a happy childhood which became the foundation for his patriotism.
