Description: Poster:black + white graphite pencil24" x 32" Image area of 17" x 21"Black border with gold lettering. The Transparencies I-IV: A salute to Escher are Jon's signature works, his classic masterpieces, his most widely recognized nudes. The four are a set, but each stands very much on its own. The first, the male torso front, was one of five pieces drawn for a 1980 show in Milwaukee. Jon had recently moved from Jacksonville to be with friends in Milwaukee before pursuing his ambition to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The series salutes one of Jon's idols, the late M.C. Escher, an artist who drew very intricate and illusory black and white pencil images, and who drew a pair of hands drawing each other. In each picture, the illusion that the hand is drawing on a creased piece of paper thumb-tacked to a board gives the art immediacy. It's as though Jon sketched it on a piece of scratch paper that was taken from his pocket. The leaves surrounding the body give the drawing a warmer, closed, protected feeling. When the four pieces from this series are lined up in the sequence they were drawn, the eye should flow from one to another along the "creases" in the paper.
