Description

September 12th, 2022
In celebration of what would have been Ray Metzker's 91st birthday this past Saturday, I share with you a list of wonderful titles Ray assigned to over fifty "Composites" he completed between 1964 and 2014. Ray was just as playful and inventive linguistically as he was visually...I hope they make you smile.
