PURCHASED BY ART COLLECTOR FROM STANTON, CALIFORNIA
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO VIEW THIS SOCIAL DOCUMENTARY FILM
The Derringer Flintlock Pistol was manufactured during the 18th century in Spain, and was used traditionally in duels. Weapon control and criminal rehabilitation are currently significant issues throughout the United States and other parts of the world. This film is the second phase of three segments, and integrates an artist contemplating the origins of social conflict through painting a traditional icon of battle, with the perspectives of an American male, and a social worker who counsels hardcore criminals within prisons. The next stage will involve the merging of this piece with the viewpoint of a serial killer within one of America's federal prisons. When the artwork is presented in an exhibition context such as a museum, the painting itself will be presented directly beside the film.
-Hall Groat II American Artist, January 2007
