3. Starts and Stops
Starts and Stops
Description
This abstract painting appears to depict a city street scene obscured by the method of paint application. Colors used include yellow, red, blue, black, and shades of neutral tones., T. Prochaska; Starts and Stops; 24 x 32 inches; oil; 1993, Artist Thomas Prochaska grew up drawing and sketching in Illinois, and then earned a degree in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin. A full scholarship to the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn found him studying printmaking and painting. After a couple of years of teaching at Pratt Graphics Center and at the University of Georgia, he followed his love for printmaking — and his Swiss girlfriend — to Europe. “That’s where I learned the most about printmaking, doing it every day and doing it in a real practical manner… in Switzerland, in a tiny town, St.Prix.” When visa problems sent him back to the U.S., he taught at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, visiting family in Oregon during the summers. “And so I fell in love with Portland,” he sighs with a smile. “I went from being a Department Chairman to being in the Saturday Market.” His woodcuts of trout and salmon — “I also came here for the fishing,” he adds — were eventually licensed for use on T-shirts. Popular ones. “That made me feel real happy because it was people’s art, art away from institutions,” Tom says. “In some ways, that was the most satisfying work I’ve ever done, because people wore them.” (excerpt from biography at http://www.pnca.edu/exposure/stories/28/tom-prochaska), http://www.froelickgallery.com/Artist-Detail.cfm?ArtistsID=223, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

4. A Crow
A Crow
Description
In this piece, a crow emerges from an abstract build-up of color. The crow looks over its shoulder toward the right side of the picture plane, where there is a yellow circular form and what appears to be an inscription of the number four., Rick Bartow; A Crow; 1994; 19 x 25 inches, 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.
