About The Artwork

This monotype features chine colle poetry pages, and was produced late in the evening, just before the press was winding down. The poem is one by John Donne, and since he's dead and not complaining, I reproduce it here. Song: Go and catch a falling star BY JOHN DONNE Go and catch a falling star, Get with child a mandrake root, Tell me where all past years are, Or who cleft the devil's foot, Teach me to hear mermaids singing, Or to keep off envy's stinging, And find What wind Serves to advance an honest mind. If thou be'st born to strange sights, Things invisible to see, Ride ten thousand days and nights, Till age snow white hairs on thee, Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me, All strange wonders that befell thee, And swear, No where Lives a woman true, and fair. If thou find'st one, let me know, Such a pilgrimage were sweet; Yet do not, I would not go, Though at next door we might meet; Though she were true, when you met her, And last, till you write your letter, Yet she Will be False, ere I come, to two, or three. M. Glenn Accession number 2013-019

Michael Glenn is an artist and a poet working out of Lubbock, TX. His, work reflects his history as a vagabond of the inner city, a child of poverty and underground societies, and his struggle to rise. Michael works with the largest contemporary printmaking collection in the American Southwest, the AP/RC (www.artistprintmakerresearchcollection.org). Handling the works of other artists allows Michael to experience an intimacy with that art and its inherent historicity, which in turn informs his passion and his art. He credits Otto Dix, Erich Hegel, Max Beckmann, Kurt Schwitters, Louise Nevelson, and Ken Hale among his influences, but assures you that nothing will catch your breath and steal your heart more than the memory of wandering the rainy streets of Amsterdam with no more concern than to make it home in time for dinner.
