Buck Schiwetz (1898-1984)
Dallas Skyline by E. M. “Buck” Schiwetz — 1961
by Paula Bosse
This drawing reminds me of those wonderful telephone book covers (the ones with all the hidden jokes and intricate details) that I used to pore over as a child. (By the way, when clicked, this image is absolutely HUMONGOUS.)
From the booklet Five Years Forward: The Dallas Public Library, 1955-1960 (more of which can be accessed here).

Diver Michele Zalopany black white abstract cloud and water landscape painting
By Michele Zalopany
Located in New York, NY
At the center of this large-scale black and white charcoal and pastel painting, a diver launches himself from untold heights, frozen at the peak of action against an ecstatic plume of clouds. Zalopany excels at painting with light, often abstracting areas of a composition with explosions of brush strokes and impossibly smooth blending. The cloud mass at the center of Diver is at once a liquid pool and O’Keefe’s Jimson Weed...
