The Last Supper by Albert Szukalski, 1984, Rhyolite, Nevada. Photography by Martin J. Blahnik. On the distant left half, one sees the Funeral Mountains; and on the distant right half, those are the Grapevine Mountains—both in Death Valley National Park.
The giant fig tree was photographed in Beverly Hills, California, by the author, with graphic repurposing to represent the Blahnik Family Tree. On the trunk of the fig tree, there is the year 1482, the first year of the author’s family name from today’s Czech Republic. The man, the books, and the crest are graphics included in materials about the Blahnik genealogy. The desert holly was in the scene of a Death Valley grand landscape taken with 4×5 large-format photography in March 2001. The desert valley comes from William Lewis Manly’s 1894 publication Death Valley in ’49. All graphic work by the author.
