Harry Wysocki was Charles' older brother and a very successful painter and illustrator in his own right. He attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA and was joined there by Charles after a couple of years.

One day, Charles was approached to do an Americana-style ad in a special edition of Life magazine. However, as he was too busy, he passed the assignment to his brother Harry who painted in the Americana style for the first time. This piece is one of three of his paintings now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum.

After that, Harry was offered more Americana-style work. Afraid there would be confusion in the art world about two Wysockis painting in a similar style, the brothers agreed that Harry would use his real Polish name, Heronim, instead of Harry Wysocki for his Americana paintings.

Heronim's paintings display nostalgia for a simpler time before the internet and multi-lane highways. He researches pictures of old lighthouses or railroad stations and draws inspiration from these sources to paint intricately detailed masterpieces.

The perfect gift for autumn wooden jigsaw puzzlers, and Amusement Park and Beach lovers, this traditional adult wooden jigsaw puzzle can be done time and again. Our wooden jigsaw puzzle artists have included many shaped whimsy summer wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces that match the subject of the painting, and we have integrated them in ways that will delight and surprise you as you put the wooden jigsaw puzzle together.

Heronim

Heronim, born Harry Wysocki, is an American artist celebrated for his evocative Americana paintings that blend nostalgia, history, and fantasy. Raised in a Polish-American neighborhood in Detroit, he later moved to Los Angeles, where he graduated from the Art Center College of Design. Following World War II, Wysocki served in the Merchant Marines, traveling extensively and drawing inspiration from the diverse cultures and artistic styles he encountered, including Japanese art and the works of Hiroshige. These experiences, particularly his exposure to Japanese art, influenced his early explorations in art nouveau and art deco styles, adding an international dimension to his work.

Wysocki's Americana paintings are characterized by their romanticized depictions of small-town life, often featuring lighthouses, old hotels, and railroad stations. He conducts thorough historical research for each piece, delving into archives and speaking with individuals who remember the era he aims to portray. A distinctive feature of his work is that he includes a little black cat inspired by his pet's accidental foray into his studio paintings. This suggestion from his wife Betty became a signature element in his art, symbolizing the unexpected and the playful in his otherwise nostalgic and historical paintings.

Heronim's work has been exhibited in prestigious institutions such as the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Museum of Science and Industry in Los Angeles, and the San Francisco de Young Museum. His accolades include nineteen national and local awards from print shows across major cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. These awards recognize his skill in capturing Americana's essence and unique blend of nostalgia, history, and fantasy. Notably, three of his prints are part of the permanent collection at the Smithsonian Institution, and one painting resides in the United States Air Force Art Collection.
