… In Email Feb 23 Tina DeWeese said => “My Dad loved to play with variations on a
theme, the "Neck Tie” was one of these themes. They were hugely varied in
construction as collaged assemblages, or painted, usually mixed media.
…Images of ties kept him occupied for 5 or 6 years in the late 80’s, many of which are
undated. I have around 100 images of the ties in my computer files, dated from 1984 to ’89.
…The Neck Ties, the Wolny Hill series, the Flight series, Homages, Constructions and
thousands of drawings of various themes … were all visual variations that he played with,
in both idea and form. As Bob was both a painter and a printmaker, these themes
emerged in both media.
…More important to share, is the historical writing by Elizabeth Guheen that follows.
Elizabeth Guheen, Writer And Art Historian Writes
… About Bob DeWeese’s Ties In The Retrospective Catalog, “A Look Ahead:”
…”People who saw them exhibited or in his studio wanted to ascribe a serious meaning
to them [The Neck Ties]. At the very least most people thought DeWeese just wasn’t explaining what they [the ties] really meant.”
…”In 1982, he wrote: => ‘Why the ties? Well, altogether I wasn’t thinking about it at the
time. It must have been that I looked for a single simple form (no matter if they became
an interpreter’s delight). For me, the ties seem something I can count on, something light to play on, something really there.’ ” ]
