1991
Ejay Weiss began Iraq War Chronicle on the first day of Operation Desert Storm that began on January 17, 1991. Together, these 23 acrylics on Morilla and Strathmore Paper continue with the artist’s square motif that appears throughout the artist’s Eden Series (1989-1992).
Within the limits of each composition, the predominant context of each day appears situated into a square format. After the first 21 days of Operation Desert Storm, Weiss created one painting for each week, concluding with Weeks 4, 5, 6 and 7.
