WORKS BY WARREN CRISWELL IN THE COLLECTION
OF
Tyson Foods, Inc.
[Click images to enlarge]
These are 4-color photolithographs, signed,
numbered and remarqued, reproduced from my first acrylic wash
paintings on paper, each 18 x 24 inches. The images are 13 x
18 inches, printed on a actual printing press, back in the days
before giclees, by Cantrell Publishing Co., Inc., in 1991. I
wrote these notes for the accompanying brochure, "Four Roadside
Views."
Narrows Road Morning Poem, 1981, 207/950
| "The
ability of the human eye to distinguish hues is directly proportional
to the level of illumination, so that every morning is a slow
rebirth of color. In this painting the transformation is well
underway, but the ghosts the achromatic have not yet altogether
withdrawn." |

L1011 remarque
| "Cattle
in the shade at noon, cumulus clouds casting moving shadows,
humans at 30,000 feet, eating lunch, a bird on a wire full of
voices. These are interacting elements of the ecosphere as well
as of this picture space." |

On the Terminator,
1981, 207/950
| "The
terminator is the line which separates the illuminated side of
a planet from its dark side: the shadow line. As we are carried
under the line, from day toward night, we again cross the color
threshold. In a few minutes the old ghosts will be back, undeterred
by the security light." |
