My Art 2011 / Black-And-White Etching Titled : " Taken With The Grun-Tu-Molani " After Saul Bellow's Novel : " Henderson The Rain King "
I loved the novel by Saul Bellow called : " Henderson The Rain King " that I read while living in Paris, France in the late seventies after graduating from Randolph-Macon College in Ashland , Virginia in 1076. I took the school yearbook to finish as I was the editor-in-chief and my mother and my two brothers helped me finish it while I was there with them in the summer of 1976 and working at the American Embassy where my father was at that time either the Consul for Visas or the Consul for Passports. I forget now.
Anyway, I started to etch at the Atelier 17 of William Stanley Hayter of England sometime after that ( in 1978-1979 sometime ) and did this as one of the many prints that I took from this plate as I worked on it. This was the last state of the zinc plate I believe. Hope you like it. Cheers, TONY
