“The artist discovers beauty and meaning in whatever environment he is cast by chance,” Isaac Soyer wrote in 1947, “for no matter where he is born and grows up, his life work is set for him, to glorify and describe intimately and sympathetically, the people and the physical appearance of everything around him.” The bustle of a busy day in a beauty parlor animates this dynamic New York scene by Soyer, who concentrated on life in the city during the early 20th century. The hubbub of human activities competes with the dramatic patterned tile floor for the viewer’s attention.

This must have been a visit to Penn Trail when we first moved to Jupiter, before there was any construction on the property. Tom and the coconut. Me with my dysfunctional posture lordosis. Bill with the coconut, mum with the goofy eyelet bathing suit. Dad looks good without his shirt.
Must have been the 50s.

Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.
~ Hunter S. Thompson from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”
*
After all, that was
the world: accessible and cheaply purchased
If you said you were on The Trail of the Spirits,
soldiers would give you postcards
Dragons would let you pass
Now all that is left is just a room in
a town and a small boat that cannot sail
in bad weather. But on bright days,
it is still able to carry a passenger,
which means that until the last minute
it is still possible to be grateful
The sun descends in glory;
the kindest words contain you
and on the postcards, there were only kisses
It doesn’t matter that no one knows why
~Eleanor Lerman

German painter, draughtsman, hydraulic engineer and architect. He is generally regarded as the greatest painter of the German Renaissance and certainly its greatest colourist. His paintings are unparalleled in their extraordinary beauty and expressive force. He was a man of profound religious beliefs whose vision transcended the visible world and led him to paint some of the most moving and memorable images of Christ’s Passion in Western art. His pictorial language is rooted in the symbolic imagery of the Middle Ages, especially the mysticism of the 14th century, but is at the same time proto-Baroque in its dramatic movement, in the highly expressive language of drapery forms and gestures and in the strong contrasts of light and shadow. Unlike Dürer, he did not make prints; the linear techniques of printmaking were foreign to this quintessentially painterly artist. Even his drawings are consistently rendered in the painterly medium of black chalk rather than pen and ink.

Forest? These are nothing but rocks!
Tom in his cowboy phase. Well, it was The West after all ..The Petrified Forest. This was quite disappointing because I'd been expecting a .... FOREST. Not a desert with a bunch of scattered rock like structures that we were told were petrified TREES. Uh-huh, SURE they're trees, petrified trees, just like a Ferry is a Boat, then you should call it a boat, not a Fairy, okay? Man. The various letdowns as Myths die. I remember one Christmas around this time I helped my parents "play Santa" on Christmas Eve and get everything set up for the little kids. We wrapped and baked and did all the things that "Santa" was supposed to do. Most. Depressing. Christmas. Ever. I knew that it was them but this sealed the deal. Reality has never been my strong suit.

Bryllupsfest på Finnmarksvidda
Bryllup i Kautokeino. Her sees to brudepar, brudgommene har efter gammel skikk et hvidt skjerf i kryss over brystet, brudene har silkemuffe. Det hører også med at brudene ikke må smile.Ingen ung romantikk bandt dette brudeparet sammen. Det var to par som ikke hadde krefter lenger til det krevende flyttsamelivet. Nå ville de skape seg et hjem på kirkestedet. Så meget bandt dem til det, for han var av Logjeslekten og hun oldebarn til klokker Klemet Gundersen.

Cyanotype. 10.7 x 9.8 cm.
Bought from an eBay seller in Belmont, Massachusetts, United States.
This was one of my first eBay purchases in early 2011. As I am about to reach 1 million views, I was looking for something special to post to get me over the line - and realised I'd never posted this pair of cyanotypes!

DAWN OF THE AGE OF THE JELLYFISH
Home to the ocean, but what is a sea lice?
The incessant stinging
I don't recall that
What is coming to inherit the earth?
It's the jellyfish, says my brother
Jellyfish that are taking over the world.
Sea turtles that once ate them
Gone - or at least
Endangered. It's too light at night
With the rolling back of darkness,
higher species leave the lower
to command them.
What remains are creatures with a nerve net
floating and drifting
'Marco'
'Polo'
Just a matter of time
Something trawls by
No need to hunt,
to develop
teeth or claws
No brain
unreasoning jelly
that can't form an image
“Ocelli” , which is - light sensitive-
Aren't we all ?
Is it enough to know
Mere up from down
To have just a
simple response to sunlight shining
on water's surface ?
Breaking camp -- with reluctance

There is part of a series from a whole album of photos that belonged to my Grandfather called "Stone's Cottage." What was Stone's Cottage? I don't know. The pictures are charming snapshots of life for young professionals in the early 1900s.
Most of the ladies were new schoolteachers. Most of the men were bankers and lawyers. My grandfather posed, lit , shot and developed the photographs, so he is rarely portrayed here.
It is his eye through which we see.

One of the most important Swiss painters of the late 19th and early 20th century. He was orphaned at the age of 12 and studied first at Thun under an artist who painted landscapes for tourists. After 1872, however, he worked in a more congenial atmosphere at Geneva, under Barthélémy Menn. By 1879, when Hodler settled in Geneva, he was producing massive, simplified portraits owing something to the French realist painter Gustave Courbet. By the mid-1880s, however, a tendency to self-conscious linear stylization was visible in his subject pictures, which dealt increasingly with the symbolism of youth and age, solitude, and contemplation, in such works as “Die Nacht” (1890; “The Night,” Kunstmuseum, Bern), which brought him acclaim throughout Europe. From this time his serious work can be divided between landscapes, portraits, and monumental figural compositions. The latter works present firmly drawn nudes who express Hodler’s mystical philosophy through grave, ritualized gestures. These pictures are notable for their strong linear and compositional rhythms and their clear, flat, decorative presentation.

Andrei Petrovich Ryabushkin was a Russian painter. His major works were devoted to life of ordinary Russians of the 17th century. He also worked on frescoes for Saint Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod and mosaics for the Church of the Savior on Blood in Saint Petersburg. There are 24 of his mosaics on the walls of Church of the Savior on Blood (17 inside and seven outside) (1897-1900). In the later 1900s he became interested in the life of contemporary Russian peasants (such paintings as Tea-Drinking and A Young Man Breaking into the Girls' Dance).
The deep study of history made his paintings very reliable, but they did not evoke any sympathy in his contemporaries. Unlike Vasily Surikov, who used the dramatic historical episodes as his subjects, Ryabushkin painted everyday life of the 17th century. His works lack action, they do not depict social conflicts, as the democrats liked. On the other hand, they are not so “beautiful” to reflect the tastes of the rich conservatives. Nobody knew where to place Ryabushkin’s paintings and just did not accept them.
In 1948 a fellow student and photographer for Columbia University's student paper showed Garry Winogrand the darkroom, which was open twenty-four hours in the basement of the architecture building. Two weeks later, Winogrand abandoned painting for photography and "never looked back." Described as "an undisciplined mixture of energy, ego, curiosity, ignorance, and street-smart naiveté," the Bronx native photographed incessantly, mostly on the streets, working as a freelance photographer for a picture agency and eventually publishing journalistic images in numerous magazines throughout the fifties.
Around 1960, after being shown a copy of Walker Evans's book American Photographs, Winogrand began to take a more artistic approach in his work. The first half of the decade, however, was a difficult time, including political disillusionment and the breakup of his first marriage. He persevered in his career and eventually published four books of photographs, including The Animals in 1969, images made in zoos, and Women Are Beautiful in 1975, candid shots of anonymous women on the street. Winogrand used a small-format, 35mm camera that enabled him to photograph quickly and freely, which he did to the extreme: at the time of his death in 1984, he left more than 2,500 undeveloped rolls of film.

Michael Ayrton was an English artist and writer, known as a painter, printmaker and sculptor, and also as a critic, broadcaster and novelist. His work is in several important collections including the Tate Gallery, London, National Portrait Gallery, London, Museum of Modern Art, New York, Fry Art Gallery, Essex.
Between 1946 and 1952 Ayrton made several visits to Italy, where he became interested in the Renaissance principles of perspective. 'The Captive Seven' is one of Ayrton's major works. The figures were inspired by the street life of a poor district of Rome, and are arranged in a geometrically structured composition. Ayrton executed the work as a dark allegory of the seven deadly sins. Alternatively the seven figures could be seen as being held captive by their poverty. In the paintings of this period Ayrton sought to 'offset unquiet implications by a completely tranquil design'.
Joseph Stella was an Italian-born, American Futurist painter best known for his depictions of industrial America. He is associated with the American Precisionism movement of the 1910s-1940s. He was born in Italy but came to New York City in 1896. He studied at the Art Students League of New York under William Merritt Chase. His first paintings are Rembrandtesque depictions of city slum life. In 1908, he was commissioned for a series on industrial Pittsburgh later published in The Pittsburgh Survey.
It was his return to Europe in 1909, and his first contact with modernism, that would truly mold his distinctive personal style. Returning to New York in 1913, he painted Battle of Lights, Mardi Gras, Coney Island, which is one of the earliest American Futurist works. He is famous for New York Interpreted, a five-paneled work patterned after a religious altarpiece, but depicting bridges and skyscrapers instead of saints. This piece reflects the belief, common at the time, that industry was displacing religion as the center of modern life.
A famous Stella quote is: "I have seen the future and it is good. We will wipe away the religions of old and start anew."

This is a Photoshop reworking of a group portrait I posted last week, to celebrate the launch of the new CD ( called 'Hold in the Sun') by Crooked Mouth, which is my friend, Ken Campbell's group.
One of the songs on the CD is called 'Two Worlds' and I thought this version fits well with that title.
The accompanying CD booklet, features some of my photographs of Italian gymnastic group Kataklo. You can also hear some of their music at the Crooked Mouth myspace website. 10% of the cover price of each CD goes to support the work of Sight Savers International.
The line-up (from left to right) is: Tony, Ali, Ken, Lynne, Mike, Leen and Eilidh
