These are the earliest known Bill Rane paintings.  They are all four in private collections.   Three of the works are from the collection of the Hon. Pepe Monsanto of Guatemala City, Guatemala. We believe the works to all be oil on board with sand.  They are very, very rare and there are no other currently known examples from this era.   Several of the photographic images are courtesy of Sare Carmen Rane.   Thank you, Ms. Rane.

All quotes on Professor Davis' presentation are from Jacques Derrida, the very important late twentieth century French intellectual.   These images are used as fair use but Professor Davis wants to expressly thank the Jacques Derrida Estate and all of his heirs, administrators and trustees.  These quotes may not be further distributed and may not be used for any public purpose or commercial gain whatsoever.  Speical thanks to the Jacques Derrida family and heirs.
