“All my life I’ve kept scrapbooks, collected printed material, books, posters, pages, cards, bits and pieces…always with the intention of getting back to it someday. Frequently I do, but the material keeps piling up, way beyond anything I’ll ever need or use…here’s an opportunity to do something with some of it: post it and pass it on.” -Ed Fella
A detail from a 1930 Norman Rockwell illustration: A determined art student…could be Miss Lucy (coming up next…)
Mrs. Lucy Carrington Wertheim’s 1947 book on her 1930’s gallery “adventures” with two examples from one of her discoveries: the painter Christopher Wood with “The Yellow Horse” and “The Yellow Man” (circa 1920’s I assume, since he died in 1930)… turns out (thanks to Google) he’s a famous British artist whose work is in the Tate.
Some antique art: A 3 minute painting from the 1880’s and a book cover and title page from 1884. Double jeopardy!
Three example pages from my “Daily Archive” sheets: the first one composed of those little bits left on the walls after the poster is ripped down, the others are of the “under the radar” graphic design that surrounds us.
An Allen Hori, Richard Bates ad from 1996 and a 1990 page by David Frej, classmates at Cranbrook in the late 1980’s.
The wonderful Canadian lettering artist, Marion Banjtes sent me this several years ago…it took me a while to figure it out that it was addressed to me.
My 3 year old grand daughter made me this Holiday card. I take it those are ornaments in the front, the back is “writing”, or so she thinks…
Stay tuned for more Faculty Finds.
