Santo Pezzutti (June 2, 1922 – December 3, 2023) was an Italian-American artist who resided in New Jersey.
His artwork has also been published in “Illustrator’s Annual” and “The Best of Watercolor.” [1] In addition to being an accomplished artist, Santo is also a successful sailor.
See the related article in the Asbury Park Press, NJ newspaper, dated October 16, 2011.
Santo has described his style as a ”’stream of consciousness” method, never striving for photographic realism.” [4] Pezzutti was a Sanderling fleet champion at the Monmouth Boat Club from 2002 until 2012, an award that is given for the best 24 races on the Navesink River.
He also won the Sanderling class honors from 2000-2009, and the trophy detailing these accomplishments was retired and the record has yet to be matched.
