From the edition of 50 impressions, handcolored uner the artist's supervision, Plate 2 from the cycle The Lord's Prayer). From the exhibition Recent Acquisitions (And Some Thoughts on the Current Art Market), June 6, 2006 - September 8, 2006 at Galerie St. Etienne in New York, NY. "...This year, the summer show will, in its first few weeks, focus heavily on self-taught art. Included will be some of the more popular artists from Parallel Visions II, such as Chelo Amezcua, Emery Blagdon, Haroyuki Doi, Augustin Lesage and Martin Thompson. Ilija, whose debut exhibition in January was extremely successful, will make an encore appearance, as will our long-standing favorite, Grandma Moses. Among the works by Expressionists (which will be augmented during the later weeks of the summer) are new arrivals by Lovis Corinth, George Grosz, Erich Heckel, Paul Klee, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Käthe Kollwitz, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Emil Nolde, Hermann Max Pechstein and Egon Schiele. Sue Coe will be represented by a brand new series of drawings, on Hurricane Katrina, as well as by several of her now classic paintings from the 1980s."
