When Norman H. Seabrook won the competition for MacRobertson Girls’ high School in 1934, his design heralded what Robyn Boyd was to term the ‘The 1934 Revolution (Victorian Modern, Melbourne, 1947). Seabrook’s design was the first example in Australia of a modern style of architecture characterised by the use of interlocking planes of various sizes, with a strong contrast between horizontal and vertical elements, and between solid and void. Plain surfaces in neutral tones were enlivened by the use of primary colours (red, yellow and blue) for details. In the world of art, de Stijl was related to the work of cubists, and to the paintings of Modrian. The School of Amsterdam, in contrast, employed the traditional brickwork of the Netherlands, developing it to its limits in terms of plasticity of form while emphasising its intrinsic character.
Dudok successfully combined these disparate elements to create his own distinctive style. In his capacity as official architect to the town of Hilversum, he erected a number of outstanding buildings in this manner, including several schools and the famous Hilversum Town Hall, built between c. 1927 and 1931. This was undoubtedly Dudok’s most influential building. Examples derived from it in Europe include the Cahcan-sur-Seine Town Hall, France (J.B. Mathon and J. Cholet, 1934) and the Hornsey Town Hall, U.K. (R.H. Uren, 1933-5) which won the RIBA Bronze Medal in 1935.
In Australia comparable examples include the Sanitarium Health Food Company Building, Warbuton (E.F. Billson, 1936-9) and the Heidelburg Town Hall (Peck and Kemter and A.C.

This red, white and blue Artist Trading Card has a quilled blue flower with a red center and a white, quilled flourish on both sides of the flower.
This week I decided to participate in the EtsyMetal Project Runway Challenge.
"Make an "avant garde" piece of jewelry using a work of art as your inspiration. If you have access to a child and want to collaborate on something, go for it!"
I was going to use a child's artwork as an inspiration but then I stumbled upon "Small Picture of Firtrees" by Paul Klee. The color scheme and the assymetrical rectangles completely captivated me. So I made an embroidery piece using a similar color combination and set it in an oxidized copper frame. I made the cord to hang the pendant by tearing and stitching pieces of fabric. The final piece ended up reminding me more of a Modrian than Klee but I guess this can happen :-)
This red, white and blue artist trading card has a Modrian design. Words printed on white paper spell Do You Remember the Modrian Dress?

Comment on Flickr album Acer monspessulanum: The genus Acer is numerous, and many of its species are well known to people. They are widely used as ornamental trees. The interesting and varied shapes of their leaves are appreciated, especially their beautiful fall colors. The genus is also important to the wood industry, as it provides high-quality wood, and some species grow to large sizes, forming extensive forests.
Acer monspessulanum is less well known. It is a deciduous tree that thrives best in the zone between the evergreen Mediterranean vegetation and the deciduous forests of central and northern Europe. It is most common in the Mediterranean basin. In Slovenia and Croatia, it almost exclusively grows along the Adriatic coast. Today, of course, it has been introduced into several European countries. It is not a large tree, reaching only up to 10 meters or slightly more. The trunk of most trees is usually much thinner than half a meter in diameter and is therefore not highly valued by the timber industry. However, it has hard, heavy wood, making it good fuel and an excellent raw material for charcoal production. The bark of young trees is gray and relatively smooth (Fig. 6). In contrast, the trunk and larger branches of older trees have deeply fissured bark (Fig. 11). Acer monspessulanum has the smallest leaves of all European species and is the most thermophilic of them all. It can be found in both deep, nutrient-rich soils and on steep, rocky cliffs where there is almost no soil. In dry, warm environments, it employs an interesting strategy to cope with unusually dry or hot summers—shedding its leaves very early, before all other deciduous trees do. It may look dried up as early as September, but this strategy does not harm its growth. Alternatively, in different weather conditions, its leaves may stay on the tree well into November.

Comment on Flick album Quercus cerris: Quercus cerris is a tree that can grow up to 35 meters tall (although it is usually much smaller), and sometimes reaches a trunk diameter of up to 1 meter. It can live for as long as 200 years, while many other oaks can live 1,000 years or more. It is naturally found in southern and eastern Europe, as well as in Asia Minor, Syria, and Lebanon. Its wood is not highly valued. It is difficult to work with and tends to split unpredictably (Ref.: 3). Most of the wood is used for firewood and cellulose.
The tree has separate male and female flowers. The staminate (male) flowers are arranged in long and thin catkins, while the small pistillate (female) flowers produce acorns. Quercus cerris is characterized by acorns that take two years to mature, which is uncommon among species of this genus. Ripe fruits are brown. The photos published here show immature, still green acorns.
When acorns are present, species identification becomes straightforward. The acorn cups feature filamentous, up to 1 cm long, hooked growths that are impossible to miss. The leaves are mostly deeply pinnately divided. But be cautious! Leaf shape variability is enormous and, therefore, an unreliable trait for novice botanists to use for identification. The wide range of leaf shapes has led to the description of many taxa below the species level: subspecies, varieties, sub-varieties, forms, and sub-forms.

My first attempt at an abstract for Week 14, Assignment 1 for Take A Class With Dave & Dave.
Abstract. From wikipedia: Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color and form in a non-representational way. You are free to create your abstraction entirely in-camera, in post-processing, or as a combination of the two.
I really stressed over this assignment. Abstract covers such a wide range of possibilities. I looked up several different definitions of just what abstract art is as well as many of the abstract artists. This image is a bit of Modrian and a bit of Frank Stella (at least that was my intention to a point).

MacRobertson Girls High School,
Kingsway,
South Melbourne.
When Norman H. Seabrook won the competition for MacRobertson Girls’ high School in 1934, his design heralded what Robyn Boyd was to term the ‘The 1934 Revolution (Victorian Modern, Melbourne, 1947). Seabrook’s design was the first example in Australia of a modern style of architecture characterised by the use of interlocking planes of various sizes, with a strong contrast between horizontal and vertical elements, and between solid and void. Plain surfaces in neutral tones were enlivened by the use of primary colours (red, yellow and blue) for details. In the world of art, de Stijl was related to the work of cubists, and to the paintings of Modrian. The School of Amsterdam, in contrast, employed the traditional brickwork of the Netherlands, developing it to its limits in terms of plasticity of form while emphasising its intrinsic character.
Dudok successfully combined these disparate elements to create his own distinctive style. In his capacity as official architect to the town of Hilversum, he erected a number of outstanding buildings in this manner, including several schools and the famous Hilversum Town Hall, built between c. 1927 and 1931. This was undoubtedly Dudok’s most influential building. Examples derived from it in Europe include the Cahcan-sur-Seine Town Hall, France (J.B. Mathon and J. Cholet, 1934) and the Hornsey Town Hall, U.K. (R.H. Uren, 1933-5) which won the RIBA Bronze Medal in 1935.
In Australia comparable examples include the Sanitarium Health Food Company Building, Warbuton (E.F. Billson, 1936-9) and the Heidelburg Town Hall (Peck and Kemter and A.C. Leith and associates, 1937). These two examples however, each of which is already classified, date from at least two years after Seabrook’s innovative design for the Girl’s High School.

Comment on Flick album Quercus cerris: Quercus cerris is a tree that can grow up to 35 meters tall (although it is usually much smaller), and sometimes reaches a trunk diameter of up to 1 meter. It can live for as long as 200 years, while many other oaks can live 1,000 years or more. It is naturally found in southern and eastern Europe, as well as in Asia Minor, Syria, and Lebanon. Its wood is not highly valued. It is difficult to work with and tends to split unpredictably (Ref.: 3). Most of the wood is used for firewood and cellulose.
The tree has separate male and female flowers. The staminate (male) flowers are arranged in long and thin catkins, while the small pistillate (female) flowers produce acorns. Quercus cerris is characterized by acorns that take two years to mature, which is uncommon among species of this genus. Ripe fruits are brown. The photos published here show immature, still green acorns.
When acorns are present, species identification becomes straightforward. The acorn cups feature filamentous, up to 1 cm long, hooked growths that are impossible to miss. The leaves are mostly deeply pinnately divided. But be cautious! Leaf shape variability is enormous and, therefore, an unreliable trait for novice botanists to use for identification. The wide range of leaf shapes has led to the description of many taxa below the species level: subspecies, varieties, sub-varieties, forms, and sub-forms.

MacRobertson Girls High School,
Kingsway,
South Melbourne.
When Norman H. Seabrook won the competition for MacRobertson Girls’ high School in 1934, his design heralded what Robyn Boyd was to term the ‘The 1934 Revolution (Victorian Modern, Melbourne, 1947). Seabrook’s design was the first example in Australia of a modern style of architecture characterised by the use of interlocking planes of various sizes, with a strong contrast between horizontal and vertical elements, and between solid and void. Plain surfaces in neutral tones were enlivened by the use of primary colours (red, yellow and blue) for details. In the world of art, de Stijl was related to the work of cubists, and to the paintings of Modrian. The School of Amsterdam, in contrast, employed the traditional brickwork of the Netherlands, developing it to its limits in terms of plasticity of form while emphasising its intrinsic character.
Dudok successfully combined these disparate elements to create his own distinctive style. In his capacity as official architect to the town of Hilversum, he erected a number of outstanding buildings in this manner, including several schools and the famous Hilversum Town Hall, built between c. 1927 and 1931. This was undoubtedly Dudok’s most influential building. Examples derived from it in Europe include the Cahcan-sur-Seine Town Hall, France (J.B. Mathon and J. Cholet, 1934) and the Hornsey Town Hall, U.K. (R.H. Uren, 1933-5) which won the RIBA Bronze Medal in 1935.
In Australia comparable examples include the Sanitarium Health Food Company Building, Warbuton (E.F. Billson, 1936-9) and the Heidelburg Town Hall (Peck and Kemter and A.C. Leith and associates, 1937). These two examples however, each of which is already classified, date from at least two years after Seabrook’s innovative design for the Girl’s High School.

Untitled by Sean Conway 09
Sean’s contribution to the dialogue is a mainly purple diptych. Sean wrote: ‘Jean’s work of her travel/photos around India inspired me to echo my long journey as an artist. My work takes me back to the early 60’s, when I first began to see work by artists like Klee, Kandinsky, Sonia and Robert Delauney, Modrian, Ben Nicholson, Godfrey Miller…when these and many other artist/adventurers first began to teach me things about colour, movement and composition. This Diptych talks about some of that. There is always so much more to see, appreciate, learn from and express.’
