"The Big Tear, Sept. 11"
|
|
 |
|
Print, hand-signed,
image 11" x 8", matted 14" x 17" |
Even though
Manhattan’s silhouette will never be the same, in our hearts and
minds we will see the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center forever
as metaphorically transformed into the world’s largest
tombstones.
The crying
Statue of Liberty expresses our sadness over the incomprehensible
and inhumane sacrifice of thousands of innocent lives because of
deep hatred and religious fanaticism of some deranged minds. And
yet, our nation has and will become stronger in
togetherness.
The painting shows the skyline of Lower
Manhattan in purple, with the outline of the Twin Towers where once
the World Trade Center stood, painted in mourning and innocent
white, with a golden aura to commemorate the thousands of people who
perished there. Behind the World Trade Center is a huge black cloud
wherein the Big Apple is depicted on the left and a face is seen on
the right. Overlooking Manhattan is our great symbol, the Statue of
Liberty, with closed or empty eyes, in unspeakable distress and a
tear running down her face, symbolically standing for the tears we
all shed. At the same time, the Statue appears to have taken on new
strength and resolve in upholding the ideal of
freedom.
"JuChriLam"
Art
Print 20" x 16", hand-signed, after
the lead painting JuChriLam
(JUdaism-CHRIstianity-IsLAM) of the traveling
exhibition (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, Los Angeles,
Lexington, New York) in honor of 3000 years of the founding of
Jerusalem. The centerpiece refers to Chagall's stained-glass
windows at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem. Around
this impression are interwoven images of sacred and profane
buildings, symbols and typical representations of people of the
three great religions co-existing in this ancient city.
"Vision of the Future"
Art Print 18" x 24", hand-signed, after a
painting commissioned by the University of Cincinnati showing
metaphorically the future development of drug therapy in form of a
band around our globe, where this band originates in the ancient
mortar and pestle leading to biotechnology-based (DNA) drugs via
scientific laboratory utensils and molecular structures, with images
of microscopic analysis, bacterial cultures and cell cultures in the
periphery. The central image depicts a health professional in
sterile garb at the computer imaging a human subject on the
screen. (Note: Only "ARTIST'S Proof Prints
[AP]" are available from Ritschel Art. Copies of the
limited edition of the print are available via the University of
Cincinnati, Marilyn Schwiers at (513) 558-0708).
"The World of Pharmacy
2002" 
Art Print 28" x 22", hand-signed, after a painting
commissioned by the American Pharmaceutical Association, Washington,
D.C., to commemorate their sesquicentennial celebration. The
central image is a human being to focus on the well-being and health
of man as the main concern of all pharmacy activities, from
prophylactic to therapeutic to counseling care.
