OHRA 1982
Vietnam Summer Concerto No. 1
Art: Probably 1982 or ’83*
Media: Wet and dry drawing and painting media; and multiple printed images of the 1972 Vietnam lino.
Size: As there are 12 images of my 1972 Vietnam linocut print, each 7.5 inches in width, and as there are 6 ½ images printed, I estimate the height at 45 to 46 inches; width approximately 50 inches.
Exhibits: 1983, 2-D National Exhibition, Angels Gate Cultural Center, San Pedro, California.

Provenance: In 1985 the artwork was bought by a Seattle resident and acquaintance friend when I was fundraising to leave for a year's art studies in Poland. When I asked him about the artwork in 2017 he said he hadn’t framed it; and it’s in storage. I’m hoping to recover it so as to frame it and donate it for permanent installation, e.g. in a political science, history or peace studies dept. at a college or university. I since gave the owner a framed and inscribed proof of my 2016 portrait of Robert Desnos [see Other Holocaust art – 2000’s] as an exchange for the eventual return of the Vietnam Summer concerto artwork.
