	Neil Meitzler 1930 -, 12" x 10.5", Mixed media, dated 1971., 'Untitled', label from the Foster White Gallery of Seattle. born. 1930, Pacific Northwest Artist, Important exhibitions include a solo exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum in 1959, and Iridescent Light, at the Museum of Northwest Art.

	David Alfaro Siqueiros, 1896-1974 - 106x60 cm. lithograph - 1968, signed and numbered 161/200 in Pencil This lithograph is one of ten illustrations done by Siqueiros for Pablo Neruda's "Canto General". I beleive this work is "the betrayed sand" of the series "the earth and the men", produced by Fernando Mourlot, of the North American company Racolin Inc. Press. 235 were run, but only 200 were released to the public. At least one other addition was eventually run with some color. I beleive by a french press. Siqueiros is in almost every major modern art museum in the world, and probably hundreds of books. It would be impossible to give a biography of the artist that would do him justice, so I'll refer anyone interested in learning more about Siqueiros to Philip Steins biography of the artist.. probably the most indepth and inside look at the life of Siqueiros.
