While Harold Stuart Wilcox/Piko Siska was best known for his "famous" Polynesian paintings depicting life in the South Seas along with his Polynesian fabric designs, his Campesino paintings reflect a notable shift both in culture and expression. Here, we are drawn into the lives of a Mestizo people living as they had for centuries without outside influence. And though it was not the idyllic life Wilcox once lived, it was by his own definition an"enchanted land," a colorful, profoundly free, and festive land with a charmed and gracious people. The story reveals the life and art of an artist whose work has languished in obscurity until now.
