Gregory Perillo: 3 Lithographs - Gregory Perillo (American, 1920-): Baby Sitter. Lot of 3 lithographs, signed and titled along the bottom, numbered 2236/2237/2268 of 3000. Unframed. In his youth Perillo studied the works of the masters of American Western art, spending much of his time at the American Indian exhibit in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Perillo’s most productive learning experience was spawned from a visit to Arizona in 1950, where he had a chance meeting with the legendary American master William Robinson Leigh. In what became almost a father-son relationship, Leigh taught Perillo, his only known pupil, for several years. Since then, Perillo has often traveled to Native American lands, where he has spent time studying the culture and customs as well as sketching the people and scenery of the American West.
