Summary

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.

As an avid collector of art he finds great satisfaction in bringing to light fine works of art that have languished in obscurity.
