Title:	Sea Target Tondo
Title:	Poleskie, Steve (Pringle, Pennsylvania, Born, 1938)
Date:	1967
Medium:	Original Silkscreen
Publisher:	Chiron Press, New York
Printer:	Chiron Press, New York
Note:	Steve Poleskie: "For several years I worked as a printer, and founded and ran my own silkscreen shop, the Chiron Press in New York City. From 1963 to 1968 we printed the work of many of the prominent artists of the time. During my collaboration with these artists I learned a great deal from them, as I hope they, in turn, learned something from me. .... I have never met a printer who wanted only to be a printer, and I was no exception. The ego of an artistic individual is too strong to endure for long the self-negation demanded by the printing of images created by others. *
	Steve Poleskie's academic training was not in the arts but in economics. He received his B.S. from Wilkes College in 1959. The same year a friend gave him a second-hand silkscreen frame and he began creating prints from the basement of his family home. Several years later Steve Poleskie moved to New York and, in 1963, was the founder and master printer of Chiron Press. For the following five years, he worked as both a printer and artist. Many of his original silkscreens from this period, such as, Sea Target Tondo, were abstracted reflections of landscape and nature. Living in the crowded heart of Manhattan Poleskie writes, "I lived in the city and thus could not see the land, but it was there --in the advertisements, behind the cars, the soda pop, the cigarettes. ... In the city, I painted landscape as a blind man paints a scene remembered or one described by someone who has seen it." ** After the closing of Chiron Press in 1968 Poleskie joined the faculty of Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. He is now retired and is a Professor Emeritus there.
	During his career, Steve Poleskie (Steven Francis Poleskie) has received prizes from the American Federation of Arts, Brooke Memorial Museum and the Silvermine Guild Award (1965). His original silkscreens are today included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, Georgetown University, Neuberger Museum of Art (State University of New York), Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis, Museum Sztuki, Lodz, Poland, Victoria and Albert Museum, London and The Tate Gallery, London.
