Beside the opposing contrast, of that which is organic and free-flowing as to that which is precisely contrived and highly structured, ideas of: 'we the people', 'democracy' and language are also at work here. While thinking of the ancient Greek civilization of Corinth, the craddle of Democracy, I also think of the language of the masses (not an unusual description of grafitti or tagging) and how a blood-red message of anger scrawled across a symbol of power might be a fortelling of the fall of a great civilization. The corinthian columns seem to culminate into what might be viewed as the point of a scribes writing instrument. Consider the possible symbolic meanings of the colors white and red in the above stated contexts.
All materials, techniques and pigments used in producing this print are archivally in line with museum standards. Print is frontally titled and signed with copyright. A Giclee print (printed on a heavy watercolor paper substrate such as Arches) is available on a diffrent pricing structure. All measurments are from the image edges and do not include the generous griping border. Each print also include instructions for care and if followed will extend print-life so as to provide many, many decades (like between 15 and 20) of viewing pleasure. Buyer will pick-up actual shipping and insurance costs. Should you be in Manhattan when you place your order, I'll personally deliver the print for less than shipping/insurance. By purchasing any of my works, you agree to abide by U.S. copyright statutes…enjoy! samfoto@earthlink.net
