"H. Hargrove was born Nicolo Sturiano in 1941 in Southern Italy. He came to America in 1964 after having earned a degree in wine chemistry at the Institute of Wine Technology in Marsala, Italy.
American barns and American nostalgia. Although the beginning was difficult and unrewarding, H. Hargrove had the inner drive not to be discouraged continue with his work. He felt at that point that it was necessary to adopt an American pen name he found more fitting to the nature of his work, although remaining very proud of his Italian heritage. Slowly his work became accepted more and more, making it necessary for him to experiment with silkscreening to satisfy the ever increasing demand. With no formal training in silkscreening and by experimenting, he developed a very unusual way to use it.H. Hargrove applies up to thirty colors to his canvas, and interestingly enough, he does not know what his finished product will look like until the final coating. Well known American Artists upon studying his work said of his technique, "He paints with silkscreening." With his vast variety of subjects that range from his original barns to every aspect of early American life, he has captured the hearts and imagination of people everywhere. Today, H. Hargrove serigraphs are carried by galleries throughout the country and sell on an average of sixty thousand per year, and can be found in over two million homes throughout the land. Avid collectors everywhere await eagerly for his next release, and gallery owners subscribe in advance to his limited editions months before they are produced, making him perhaps the most collected artist in American today.
Calling his own work "Images of America on Canvas", the artist has chronicled American life and celebrated traditional American values in his paintings for more than 30 years. One of H. Hargrove's highest honors was to be selected as an official artist for the Olympics Centennial Games in 1996.
