Little is known about Carlo, other than his ubiquitous signature on many 1950s decorative art. He landed some major gigs, including art already in tract houses like those in the original Levitown , NY . The studio, known as ARTCRAFT was located in the Lincoln Heights Station area of Los Angeles . Considered one of the oldest neighborhoods in LA, the region once was graced by large Victorian mansions on the bluffs above the Los Angeles River . By the end of the 1940s, however, many of the neighborhood’s middle class residents began the exodus out of the city, leaving MANY storefronts and warehouses/lofts available for fledgling artists and their companies. ARTCRAFT was such a company when they set up shop in what’s known affectionately as “the hills.” Carlo was a real artist who hired out equally talented artists while he collected incredibly lucrative gigs for his hand-painted, ORIGINAL art. ARTCRAFT did not have the money or techniques to make machine-prints. Instead, each image put out by the company is unique and has the essence of the founder: CARLO OF HOLLYWOOD . My own research on Carlo uncovered the following interesting bit of information for all your retro-mid-1950s art sleuths. He painted as early as the 1950s. Carlo uses many mediums, typically focusing on oils and watercolors. The style and subjects of each medium are usually unique to that medium and differ from the others. His oils are often grand landscapes while his watercolors are typically portraits and action scenes. His art was carried in department stores and included with tract style=\"text-decoration:none\"
