DESCRIPTION: Edition 25. The portfolio contains ten prints signed and numbered by the artists. “In Of Time and Place, artists from the states of California, Connecticut, New York, Nebraska and Oregon express many different artistic viewpoints. The ten printmakers use their tools of ink, paper and press to tell their visual story of a defining 20th century event. The topics range from tributes to seminal 20th century artists in the work of Karl Kasten and Yuji Hiratsuka to the exploration of microcosm to macrocosm in the print of Michele Ferandell. Ann Chernow’s print ‘Broadway Melody’ tells of the potent effects of the talkies brought to our vision of reality. Walter Askin’s ‘Krazy Kat’ pays homage to Sigmund Freud, who liberated our dream world into an alternative world view. Sherry Smith Bell’s ‘House of Chips’ addresses the rapid technological change brought by the computer and with it a new form of the written word on the Internet. Jean Burg’s ‘Flight’ soars into space with images of liberation. Karen Kunc’s ‘Winged Words’ evokes yet another form of 20th century magic. The inner space of personal survival is metaphorically symbolized by James Reed in the shape of Victorian architecture. Clare Romano’s world view from outer space concludes this personal vision of the defining events of the 20th century. Design and Typography by Sherry Smith Bell and Ann Chernow. The letterpress was printed on Arches Cover paper. The linen boxes were made by John DeMerritt, Bookbinding. The photopolymer plates were created by Alan Hillsheim at Digger Pine Press. <br><br>
