I started here writing a poem with my son in the parking lot of our neighborhood swimming pool. We went to our Saturday meet in a caravan of cars, like old wagon trains ...
Then I switched to writing about the art show of William Stanley Hayter's that I sqw on Father's Day with my two children at the National Gallery of Art last Sunday. I loved it : I worked in William Stanley Hayter's Atelier 17 at 10, Rue Didot bakc in the 14th arrondisement in Paris, France back in 1978-1979.
Here are some of my artist's proofs that I made in color and in black and white ( or just one color ) of the various states of the etched plates. These are not the finished products.
Hope you like my artist proofs ( they are one-of-kind prints ) here. Cheers ... TONY
I think this print that I made above here in dark blue ink would have been the etching I made most inspired by Bill's teaching. He liked all these textures and patterns and layers, etcetera. He must have seen it at some point and commented though I don't recall now. I think he would have liked it and had some constructive criticism for me about it. Too bad I do not recollect what he said ...
Here are my Four Morning Poems I wrote earlier before work. Enjoy, TONY
