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.

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.

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.
