This irregularly shaped, colored glass piece abstractly mimics the color scheme and composition of a landscape representation., Frederick Heidel; Open Land; laminated stained glass; 58.5 x 33 x 1 inches; Portland State Office Building, Former chairman of the art & architecture department and professor of art at Portland State University for over 25 years, Frederick Heidel is well known and respected for his work in glass and acrylic paintings. Throughout his career, Heidel has exhibited widely including major shows at the San Francisco Museum of Art, Portland Art Museum, University of Oregon Art Museum, Smith/Anderson Gallery, Palo Alto, CA and Glasgalene Kuhler, Amsterdam, Holland. The artist has also been awarded numerous commissions and is included in many public and private collections. A painter, Heidel began working in glass in 1967 after receiving a Chapelbrook Foundation Grant to work in the glass factories in Holland. Since that time, the artist has traveled to the studios of Glassobjekte Van Tetterode to execute glass sculpture from drawings he has prepared in his Portland studio. The exploration of this medium has lead Heidel to create sculpture of painted light and the nuances of the colorful laminated glass harkens to the painterly and fluid surfaces of his paintings. Heidel's works on paper reflect the translucent quality of his glass sculpture.

The figure stands against a backdrop of three bands of color: white at the top, light blue in the middle, and dark blue at the bottom., Michele Russo; Horizon; oil on canvas; 69 x 60.5 inches; 1991, Michele Russo was born in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1909. In 1930, he enrolled at Yale University and received a B.F.A. degree in painting in 1934. During the depression years he was employed at a muralist through a Works Progress Administration project and in this capacity executed murals in several Connecticut schools. In 1937, Russo left Connecticut to accept a fellowship to study with Boardman Robinson and George Biddle at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado for one year. During the next ten years he was a social activist and worked for the Federal Education project in Connecticut. In the fall of 1947, Russo moved to Portland and was hired by the Museum Art School the following year to teach painting and art history, remaining on the staff until he retired in 1974. During his tenure at the Museum Art School he became known as Portland's most articulate voice of artists' political, social and artistic rights. In the 1950's, along with friends, he started a co-op op professional artists called Artists Equity. In recent years Russo has been active in various organizations to make art a more visible part of the cultural life in the Northwest; he was one of the original founders of the Portland Center for the Visual Arts. In 1975, he was Chairman of the Oregon Committee for Art in Public Places. In 1977, he was appointed to the Metropolitan Arts Commission; the first artists so honored.

1 p. Rick Bartow's 1990 artist statement., 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.
