Artists’ compare and contrast their interpretations of subject matter as Katherine Criss did chosing Francis Criss, the prominent Twentieth-Century American Precisionist, Modernist painter who encouraged her creativity. She said, “My father’s influence on my creative work is immeasurable and pops up when I least expect it, as it has in my latest collage Urban Rhythms. Even though it is based on one of my photographs, its imagery and use of materials within classical composition structure were influenced by him.”
“Criss developed his collage techniques throughout his career. At first he combined sketches with other scraps, bits and pieces to plan out his paintings. These ideas then evolved into collages and many became paintings. I see in this collage, Lower Eastside Life, which he completed in 1968, the atmosphere we both experienced walking, sketching and living in this long-gone New York neighborhood.”

Katherine states, “I chose Phyllis Coniglio’s newest painting Harmony, to counterbalance my trans-layered photograph image, NO WAR. I have long admired Phyllis’ use of line, texture and layers in her abstract paintings, and she joins me in artistic angst to achieve harmonious works of art. In NO WAR I use the trans-layered image to express the endless struggle to create calm and peace in our astonishing world.”
