Sgraffito from the collection of South Carolina Arts Commission

Tim Belshaw
Sgraffito, 1981
photography
6.5 x 9.5 in
Signature: signed and dated on back

Sgraffito is a color photograph that reinterprets the traditional Italian architectural detail of the same name in an abstract manner. Instead of the elegantly incised lines of an Italian Renaissance building, Belshaw has chosen a found piece of rusted metal which exhibits the same quality.

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
