ECCLESIASTES- History of the Image This giclée edition of Ecclesiastes was first started on May 10, 2017, when a film transparency was scanned of John August Swanson's 1989 painting for a digital archive. Swanson thought of many changes he wanted to make to the image, but the project was put aside for other works. In February, 2019, he began to make a few ink drawings on Mylar to indicate changes he wanted to make to the figures. The new edition would combine the thin lines of his 1989 painting with the added embellishments from his serigraph edition, as well as have brighter and more vibrant colors, but the complexity of the project meant that it was put aside again. In August, 2021, John August Swanson was admitted into hospice care due to heart failure, and the Swanson Studio began work to complete the project. The artist passed away on September 23, 2021, and the new giclée edition was completed on March 7, 2022.
