Description
A pastel drawing of a few flowers in a long thin vase. The upper left corner of the piece is shaded in orange with a little bit of blue and red. In the middle of the piece are words written in German., Rich Bartow; Die Jugenfrische/Amaryllis; pastel & graphite on paper; 50x39 inches; 1995; BarR95031139 (inv. 1728), The frailty of life on this planet and the need to recognize the interconnectedness of all species are common threads that weave through Bartow's work. His Yurok Indian heritage and his experiences in Vietnam are the source of these feelings and nurture his imagery. Crow/raven and a pantheon of other animals, including man, figure prominently in his work. He reanimates the ancient myths of Northwest peoples into his visual language. Once the symbol of rebirth and the spirit of all life, crow is a ghost-like figure in this monotype who knows "he" is no longer central to our lives. (OAC documentation, 1990). A Vietnam veteran and a Yurok tribal member, he addresses grief and fear in his work as means to dismantling them. His work is represented by Froelick Gallery and Stonington Gallery.

7. River Meadows
River Meadows
Description
A pastel drawing of a river in between fields of grass and trees. In the background are mountains and low clouds, looking like mist., Allan stephenson; River Meadows; pastel; 27x40; Feb. 1993, Allan Stephenson is an artist who draws his inspiration from the natural landscape particularly that of his native British Isles and also that of the Pacific Northwest where he now makes his home. *I am always looking for and attempting to communicate with the viewer that special sense of place that infuses some areas of the natural world with meaning, wonder and beauty. I hope my work can provide some escape from the sometimes frenetic world we all live in. I am a traditionalist. I don't see the art I produce as breaking any kind of new ground but rather I apply myself to existing forms and attempt to inject perhaps fresh content. I am currently enjoying the medium of pastel for it's direct hands-on quality that allows me to blend and sculpt the pigment using my fingers and hands rather than the intermediary of a brush.* (excerpt from artist's exhibition list), http://www.allanstephenson.com/index.php, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
