Title
In-process work for Many Crosses
Creator
Swanson, John August, 1938-2021
Date
17 September 2012
Description
This was the first version of Many Crosses, drawn with colored pencils, by John August Swanson. He created the work to support California Proposition 34 on the November 6, 2012 ballot. His original concept was to only use red in the image to emphasize Jesus and those crucified. However, as he created the work, he felt the piece was incomplete and he would later add more colors.
