Mercurio Artist
Richard Ciccimarra
Born Vienna, Austria 1924 . Largely a self-taught artist, Ciccimarra immigrated to Canada in the early 1950¹s and made Victoria his home. Along with Herbert Siebner, Ciccimarra helped bring a broader, more sophisticated European vision of art and creativity to Victoria. He was also a founding member of the Limners Group. His pieces have a distinctive, melancholic quality, and are highly prized by knowledgeable collectors. Many of his major works are in the collection of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, and the Michael Williams Legacy collection.
Died Greece 1973.
