March 23, 2013 NEWLY REMASTERED DRAWINGS





















19 drawings in grease pencil and graphite on 14" x 17" paper.

The cityscape settings for these drawings were composed/arranged and drawn on-site at the location indicated.  The events described were drawn "in the horizontal" from the floor of the artist's tent.

"(?)" -- indicates the artist's opposition to the use of Geographic Proper Name Proper Names.  Sorry, I am weary of the Authority Graphiti that seems to appear on every street corner with the names of some special interest or special interest person and which have little or nothing to do with the location in question.  Usually, these Proper Name Proper Names are those of veterans and so every boy goes off to war believing that he will have the chance to be remembered forever.  This is the Allurement of War Glory and is one of the reasons why each war is followed by another.  Feminists might well ask how many places are named after women.  My friends, here is a dictionary . . . no, here's several dictionaries in several languages . . . pick a name at random, if need be.  Name nothing after me.  Name nothing after you.  Peace.
