This drypoint self portrait was scratched/drawn by Bartow sometime between 1999 and 2003, after the death of his beloved wife Julie Swan. He made several works with series titles "Dignity and Grace." Several proofs were pulled and eventually hand colored by Rick Bartow, but the plate was not editioned.
PROOF #2/2: Rick colored his nose pink and his face with ochre ink, dark blue ink around his head, he stamped his Japanese "bird" hanko over the nipples, added a pink ribbon shape for breast cancer awareness, and filled in the "O" in BARTOW with white. Bartow hand stamped blue lettering "FROELICK GALLERY SEPTEMBER" at the bottom with very faint blue ink. Proof #2 is framed with ebony stained walnut molding and plexiglas.
Proof #1: has faint blue coloring around Rick's face with white over the nose, he stamped his Japanese "bird" hanko over the nipples and hand stamped blue lettering "FROELICK GALLERY SEPTEMBER" at the bottom, it is in the collection of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Willamette University, Salem, OR.
Master Printmaker Seiichi Hiroshima said he only ever printed two editions of this plate.
