Pillars of Society
Art Hazelwood’s series of linocut prints titled “Pillars
of Society” takes its inspiration from the title of a painting
by George Grosz who portrayed the destructive leaders of society
in Weimar Germany in the 1920s. In Hazelwood’s prints he brings
his own satirical edge to contemporary America. In imagery
richly populated with grotesque figures the series depicts a world
of sycophants,
war profiteers, and mercenary violence.
The series consists of five linocuts, each printed from 2 blocks, a grey and a black. Each print is 18" x 24", printed on Rising Stonehenge Warm White paper. The cover of the portfolio is Gray BFK paper with a screenprinted title. Individual prints are $450. The series of 5 in the folio is $2,000.
The first public display of this series took place at the Mission Grafica.
