A Bill Ritchie Artwork in the

Ann Van Dyne Collection

"C-Square" by Bill H. Ritchie, Jr.

1977 Silverpoint on white gesso'd paper. Silvery-gray tones. Image 8 1/4 X 6 3/4 in. on 11 X 8 1/4 in. Arches Cover paper. Signed near right edge, 3/4 way down in composition. Premiered at 2nd Street Gallery, NY, Marcia Tucker, Juror.

Artist comment: C-Square is one of several silverpoint drawings that comprise a suite, all of which are based on a vision of wearable art—coats that are silk-embroidered with tones of silver and gold in light and dark shades. The clothing was never created, however.
