Oil on canvas by William Remick, 79"x67", 2005. "My most recent series of works is generally titled "Lamentation for Wars' Victims", and ranges in scope from paper pieces to large-scale oil paintings to pieces in various media on wood. The imagery is partly derived from several pieces of music (Shostakovich, Messienn, Bach, Mozart, Verdi) that have been profoundly affecting me during this period of great turmoil and conflict in the world. The inevitable suffering of victims of these events' causes, is deeply sorrowful." 2005 -Williiam Remick (1945-2006)
