FRANK HOWELL
1937-1997
Frank
Howell's work is described as a fusion of the physical and spiritual
worlds, the continuum of life. Whether he is painting an Indian face or a
landscape, there is a sense of evolving; an evolution of past, present,
and the dawning of the future.
"My work is very representational
in some respects, and it's kind of explosive and expansive in other
respects. I combine these directions, and, really, that's what has been
accepted as the uniqueness in my work. It's at the same time
contemporary and traditional."
Subtle earthy colors and sensitive draftsmanship bring to life this philosophical reality. Howell
views lithography as a painter's print medium because of its ability to
reproduce the kinds of subtle gradation of values and tonality which
are most similar to the variations drawing and paint can provide.
"my
first concepts of a print were in terms of painterly processes.
Progressively, as I have gained experience and knowledge, my ideas and
approaches to conceptualizing those ideas are more in keeping with the
qualities particular to lithography. The delicate washes, crayon
textures and soft pencil lines so unique to the medium have become
useful and integral ingredients in the formation of my images. I believe
that through the communion between the tools, materials, and qualities
of lithography and my sensibilities, beauty may be born. It is the
communion and my awareness of its potential that perpetuates my search."
Howell's
list of credits is extensive. A drawing series, "Past Winds," created
in 1975, captured the attention of viewers in galleries, universities
and museums throughout the nation. He has had over 30 one man shows
including a display of lithographs at the Museum of Modern Art in
Guadalajara, Mexico. Howell has been the subject of profiles on
television, radio and in newspapers and magazines.
The oldest of
three children, Howell spent his childhood in Iowa and Texas. As an
ex-marine at eighteen, he enrolled in the University of Northern Iowa
where he studied ceramics and jewelry making. He has had no formal
training in painting, for which he is most widely known.
For six
years Howell stopped painting altogether and devoted his time and energy
to writing. The technical aspects of his painting may not have
progressed during those years, but, his ideas moved forward, he
explains, because the source for his poetry and painting are the same.
He feels that getting in touch with this motivating force from within is
the key to his success as an artist. Many of Howell's current
lithographs and paintings incorporate his poetry within the image, thus,
allowing the viewer a more sensitive insight into his creative mind.
Howell
taught art for 11 years in high schools and on the college level,
before moving to Colorado in 1968 to devote his life to painting,
sculpting and printmaking.
