About the Item
Also known as the Great Northern Railway disaster and Americas deadliest avalanche. After days of traveling west and passing through the 2.6 mile Cascade Tunnel, the GNR passenger train was trapped by snow at the tiny town of Wellington Washington in the Cascade Mountains. For 6 days the passengers survived on the train while railmen worked dauntlessly through continuous avalanches to clear the tracks ahead towards the next town. Fearful of the snow looming over them on the mountain above, the passengers were assured that they were safest where they were. The weather was severe and eventually an avalanche swept the GNR passenger train and a mail train off the tracks towards the river below, resulting in 96 deaths and 23 surviving injured.

Eric Edward Esper
After obtaining my BFA in Illustration from Northern Michigan University in 1996 I relocated to Chicago to pursue my artistic endeavors. Here, I began exclusively oil painting and have assembled a body of paintings chronicling scenes of Chicago done primarily in plein air.
Capturing parts of the city’s landscape during its cultural evolution had been my way of conveying history as a painter. My fascination with landscapes and history has led me to create oil paintings of scenes that have affected us in dramatic ways. Recently I have begun painting aerial views of locations that have interesting historical significance, encapsulating true stories that are hard to imagine and harder to forget. My latest paintings capture these places and depict them with historically accurate attention to detail. Using various sources I recreate these scenes with as many photographs of every angle of the incident and research the stories, submersing myself in the event. My newest body of paintings depicts events with a more historically tragic significance, depicting scenes of the darkest hours in America’s Midwest history, where the landscape became the backdrop for tragedy and calamity. These events that irrevocably altered so many lives are important to remember, not only for the people lost and how it affected our culture, but also to remind us that disaster can occur at any time, anywhere.

View AllContaminating the Innocent - Young Girl Swimming Surrounded by Plastic Waste
By Bruno Surdo
Located in Chicago, IL
"Contaminating the Innocent" is a bold statement on our society today. Plastics are everywhere and what they are doing to the environment is devastating. What they are doing to the next generation is even more catastrophic. Bruno plays with this idea by bringing this angelic child to the forefront of the issues at hand. We are drawn in by her innocence yet taunted by her surroundings.

Living Dangerously, Original Oil Painting, Large Scale Fictional Book Cover
By Don Pollack
Located in Chicago, IL
This True Life Novelette by Don Pollack entitled "Living Dangerously" is a large scale fictionalized book cover. The imagery is based on Andrei Tarkovsky's final film titled "The Sacrifice" as a family, together to celebrate the patriarch's birthday, learn of the dawn of World War III. A mass transformation is about to happen in the form of catastrophic living - which is also the title of an actual self-help book. All combined, this imagery surely brings thoughtful discussion.

Don Pollack BIOGRAPHY
Don Pollack is a Painter and Adjunct Associate Professor of Visual Communication at theSchool of t he Art Institute of Chicago. His work investigates among other things, the relationship between personal mythologies and representation in painting and how it may simultaneously give reference to a narrative.Working in cross disciplines has influenced his perspectives as projects begin with an epic adventure. Conceptually proceeding from the
premise that all vision is historic and constructed, Pollack’s research starts with the planning of a long distance trek,– such as a 3000 mile journey via bicycle following Lewis and Clark. His work has utilized maps, documents, photography, painting, and installation.This work was routed in a previous investigation into the role of museums in the process of forming collective memory.
Don studied design at the University of Illinois and painting at the Ohio State University where he received his MFA.The state of Illinois has recognized his history based work with a special bicentennial edition of the ‘Order of Abraham Lincoln’ award. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has shown many solo shows in, Chicago, NewYork, Atlanta, and Canada.
True Life Novelettes is the most recent addition to the bigger project; Crossing
The Great Divide which is loosely a series of landscape and history projects I
began in 2009. It explores among other things, current events and personal
literary interests through the construction of large scale [48x72”] book cover paintings.
I use a variety of images juxtaposed with bylines and misplaced authors in order
to create new meanings. I read the print edition of the New York Times for current
content and subject matter, and because I still like the feel of a large document and
printed typography. Recently and with a twist of prescient irony, a found myself
reading a special supplemental section of the Times declaring that “the post-text
future is here!” Could that be good for painting, now that we are entering an online
culture ruled by pictures! But if our information will become dominated by pictures,
slogans, and emotional announcements, I do fear that the arguments driving political
discourse will soon become completely supplicated by popular memes. What should
the new best sellers look like? Do I have enough time to read them? Underneath
all this fanfare is it possible that the discussion will also be reduced to the display
of personal artifacts of material culture? In the fashion section of today’s Times the
headline reads, “Can you wear Dior to the Protest March?” (Enter my books.) I first
start by writing columns and mixing up the authors with made-up titles (from films
and books) and looking for strange connections to create a metaphorical tension. I
then look for popular images and taglines in the news, print media, and the publishing
business, and search for catchy phrases from film dialog. Then I combine everything
into a new design layout to form a hybrid of ‘true life novelettes’ and modern classics.
Climate change denial and alt/fake news declarations become great sources for topics
in the overwhelming modern noise machine too grim to bear. I cancel my cable subscription.
But what are the conditions for making a painting in a world saturated with
images? While the representational, abstract, and technical concerns of painting collapse
into the same memory well, what are we to say especially when we have “seen all the
films and seen all the pictures”? The works of Tursic and Mille have pointed me into
this new direction. In order to visually reclaim myself from disappearing into the ruins,
I adopt a strategy combining editorial cartooning, oil painting and graphic design. I
am attracted to those handsome publisher’s design formats, especially the ones that
utilize carefully-placed typography and eclectic images– such as Everyman’s Library,
Penguin Books, and Barnes and Noble. There are colored stripes running along the
sides of the covers identifying the modern story collections, with the authors’ names
set in script fonts. These various formats also hold the space to paint a combination of
historic events and contemporary imagery from popular culture. I also patrol the web
and search for vintage advertising campaigns for copy. Perhaps this grimness can have
an uplifting thread. However, Virginie Vuillaume in Another Girl warns, “desire leads to
disaster, partly bound up with fiction but also with death and catastrophe. The fate of
those who are in love with images is always tragic, desire always leads to disaster.” So
now Tursic and Mille’s painting that appropriated an image of a house on fire from a
scene from Andrei Tarkovski’s film The Sacrifice also becomes my subject matter for the
cover of the Year of Living Dangerously. For 2017, The Year of the Eclipse, the cover takes
direction from a modern classic rendition of Frankenstein, with his head screwed on
backwards. Maybe the only way left to paint now is by moving things forward by the
only way possible,– through other mediums. The byline lyric for Eclipse is now taken
from the Youngbloods popular song of 1967, Get Together,–so come on Frankenstein,
‘Smile on Your Brother’.

Don Pollack BIOGRAPHY
Don Pollack is a Painter and Adjunct Associate Professor of Visual Communication at theSchool of t he Art Institute of Chicago. His work investigates among other things, the relationship between personal mythologies and representation in painting and how it may simultaneously give reference to a narrative.Working in cross disciplines has influenced his perspectives as projects begin with an epic adventure. Conceptually proceeding from the
premise that all vision is historic and constructed, Pollack’s research starts with the planning of a long distance trek,– such as a 3000 mile journey via bicycle following Lewis and Clark. His work has utilized maps, documents, photography, painting, and installation.This work was routed in a previous investigation into the role of museums in the process of forming collective memory.
Don studied design at the University of Illinois and painting at the Ohio State University where he received his MFA.The state of Illinois has recognized his history based work with a special bicentennial edition of the ‘Order of Abraham Lincoln’ award. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has shown many solo shows in, Chicago, NewYork, Atlanta, and Canada.
True Life Novelettes is the most recent addition to the bigger project; Crossing
The Great Divide which is loosely a series of landscape and history projects I
began in 2009. It explores among other things, current events and personal
literary interests through the construction of large scale [48x72”] book cover paintings.
I use a variety of images juxtaposed with bylines and misplaced authors in order
to create new meanings. I read the print edition of the New York Times for current
content and subject matter, and because I still like the feel of a large document and
printed typography. Recently and with a twist of prescient irony, a found myself
reading a special supplemental section of the Times declaring that “the post-text
future is here!” Could that be good for painting, now that we are entering an online
culture ruled by pictures! But if our information will become dominated by pictures,
slogans, and emotional announcements, I do fear that the arguments driving political
discourse will soon become completely supplicated by popular memes. What should
the new best sellers look like? Do I have enough time to read them? Underneath
all this fanfare is it possible that the discussion will also be reduced to the display
of personal artifacts of material culture? In the fashion section of today’s Times the
headline reads, “Can you wear Dior to the Protest March?” (Enter my books.) I first
start by writing columns and mixing up the authors with made-up titles (from films
and books) and looking for strange connections to create a metaphorical tension. I
then look for popular images and taglines in the news, print media, and the publishing
business, and search for catchy phrases from film dialog. Then I combine everything
into a new design layout to form a hybrid of ‘true life novelettes’ and modern classics.
Climate change denial and alt/fake news declarations become great sources for topics
in the overwhelming modern noise machine too grim to bear. I cancel my cable subscription.
But what are the conditions for making a painting in a world saturated with
images? While the representational, abstract, and technical concerns of painting collapse
into the same memory well, what are we to say especially when we have “seen all the
films and seen all the pictures”? The works of Tursic and Mille have pointed me into
this new direction. In order to visually reclaim myself from disappearing into the ruins,
I adopt a strategy combining editorial cartooning, oil painting and graphic design. I
am attracted to those handsome publisher’s design formats, especially the ones that
utilize carefully-placed typography and eclectic images– such as Everyman’s Library,
Penguin Books, and Barnes and Noble. There are colored stripes running along the
sides of the covers identifying the modern story collections, with the authors’ names
set in script fonts. These various formats also hold the space to paint a combination of
historic events and contemporary imagery from popular culture. I also patrol the web
and search for vintage advertising campaigns for copy. Perhaps this grimness can have
an uplifting thread. However, Virginie Vuillaume in Another Girl warns, “desire leads to
disaster, partly bound up with fiction but also with death and catastrophe. The fate of
those who are in love with images is always tragic, desire always leads to disaster.” So
now Tursic and Mille’s painting that appropriated an image of a house on fire from a
scene from Andrei Tarkovski’s film The Sacrifice also becomes my subject matter for the
cover of the Year of Living Dangerously. For 2017, The Year of the Eclipse, the cover takes
direction from a modern classic rendition of Frankenstein, with his head screwed on
backwards. Maybe the only way left to paint now is by moving things forward by the
only way possible,– through other mediums. The byline lyric for Eclipse is now taken
from the Youngbloods popular song of 1967, Get Together,–so come on Frankenstein,
‘Smile on Your Brother’.
