"If I
had to state a goal, a hope pertaining to my work, my
aim would be to help keep alive that huge reservoir of
our past, to draw strength and sustenance from it and
build upon it in ways that are new and different, but
not to reject it. I find my inspiration in all the life
that surrounds and envelops me, from the evolution of
man and his works, of the timelessness of the rocks, the
trees, of man, his land, the sky and the sea. That's
what it's all about: art is always a visual experience.
This is my world, and I relish it with great affection."
-Paul Calle
1928-2010
Paul Calle's
works reflect the dramatic era of America's Western
heritage as well as the one in which he lived. For Calle, the dimensions
of art were as vast as the wild, wind-swept plains of the West, as
infinite as outer space and as small as the historic scenes he captured
on postage stamps for the United States Postal Service.
Calle
was a master of both the oil painting and the pencil drawing. His
drawings — often very large — showed incredible control and sensitivity;
they have the quality of fine etchings.
