Title:	Make It Short
Artist:	Dowell, John Edward 'John Dowell' (Born: March 25, 1941 - Philadelphia, PA)
Date:	1973
Medium:	Original Lithograph & Watercolor (Monotype)
Note:	John Edward Dowell 'John Dowell' 'John E. Dowell, Jr.' : A great contemporary American painter, etcher and lithographer for over thirty five years. Dowell studied art and is a Professor of Printmaking at the Tyler School of Art of Temple University, Philadelphia. He continued his studies at the John Herron Art Institute, Indianapolis, the University of Washington Seattle and the Tamarind Lithography Workshop. He has received numerous awards and grants for his outstanding work and achievments, such as the 14th James Van Der Zee Award from the Brandywine Workshop, Philadelphia for a Life Time of Achievement in the Visual Arts and Teaching and in1999 the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching from Temple University and grants from the National Endowment of the Arts, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a Philadelphia Foundation Grant as well as many others.
	John Dowell's paintings and prints have been widely exhibited in many one man expositions such as the 35th Venice Biennale, Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington DC, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia. His art is included in such major collections as the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Boston Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Chicago Art Institute exhibition "A Century of Collecting African American Art", where he also served as a panelist and the 1975 Whitney Biennial in New York. For further collections, please view the information provided by John Dowell at the bottom of this page.
	A major element in John Dowell's art has been to find an abstract, visual interpretation for poetry and music. In this latter vein he has been drawn in particular to an examination of jazz. Make it Short, with its many forms and shapes emerging from lines and colours, can clearly be appreciated much like a passage of music. John Dowell states, "Make It Short is a print mono type--- for it is watercolored. The entire edition was never completed--watercolored." Thus he regarded each work as a unique piece of art and numbered them with 'A.P' -- 'Artist's Proof'.
