Hollywood Bowl, 1979

Location: Green Hill School, Chehalis
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Hollywood Bowl is part of artist Robert Ecker's "Thirty Mezzotints" series of still life prints. The series explores the subtle symbolism of everyday objects. He composed these small-scale prints by marking a copper plate with a toothed tool called a rocker. The rocker creates the textured patterns characteristic of this form of printmaking. After the image has been marked into the copper plate, it is loaded with ink and transferred to paper.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Department of Social and Health Services.
