Good advice. I like 'One must always take photographs with the greatest respect for the subject and for oneself. It is a way of life' - Henri Cartier-Bresson
The quotation on the poster is from the broadcaster Peter Clayton (1927-91), while presenting his Sounds of Jazz radio show sometime in the mid 1970s; speaking of pianist, band leader and composer Count Basie (1904-84), Clayton described his legendary economy of playing with the phrase 'He never played one note when none would do'- a lesson for most musicians, and a nice summing up of how we like our typography.
The wood type chosen for this particular print was chosen for its similarity to the legendary Blue Note label's typography. This two-colour poster was printed by hand on Naturalis Soft White Matt 120gsm paper, on our FAG Control 525 proofing press at our workshop in London, and was signed and numbered by the artists in a total edition of 100.

"Being committed to some goal in your life — a sense of mission, a purpose, even a calling — is a very motivating, very comforting thing. Some people's mission steps up to greet them, others have to hunt theirs down."

Today it was interesting to see just how popular Oscar Wilde in Merrion square is as a tourist attraction.
Danny Osborne is an artist born in Dorset, England in 1949.He is a resident of Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada and Cork, Ireland. Osborne studied at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art. He is best known for his public sculptures, particularly his Oscar Wilde Memorial Sculpture "The Quare in the Square in Merrion Square Park" (originally commissioned by Guinness Ireland Group for £45,000 and located across from Ireland's National Gallery.
I like to listen to the tourist guides explaining this public art installation to visitors from all parts of the world and how often their descriptions are incorrect or incomplete. But, of course, the exact details are not all that important.
In 2016 I mentioned that the restoration of the Oscar Wilde installation had been completed with the return of the two minor bronzes to their plinths. The stone plinths or pillars are covered in quotations from Wilde. One has a bronze figure of a pregnant naked woman kneeling on the top, while the other has a bronze male torso. One explanation is that they indicate Wilde's ambiguous sexuality and aesthetic sensibilities.
At the time I also reported that the orientation of the female nude has been corrected. It should be noted that the female nude is Oscar’s wife [Constance Lloyd] who was pregnant when Oscar had his first homosexual encounter. Originally she was facing Oscar but someone tried to steal the bronze and when the park staff restored it they installed it facing the wrong direction and then the tour guides came up with stories to explain why she had turned her back on her husband.
She is facing a different direction now but I am not 100% convinced that one could claim that she is now facing Oscar. Maybe she should be on the other plinth.
The sculptor Danny Osborne used complementary colour stones and also sought out stones with varying textures to give a more lifelike representation of Oscar Wilde than you would find in a conventional statue.
Wilde’s jacket is green stone which is complemented by red stone cuffs. The sculpture includes two stone pillars which are covered in quotations by Oscar Wilde. Placed on top of the pillars are two sculptures, one of the sculptures is a bronze figure of a pregnant naked woman kneeling this represents Oscars wife Constance, while the other pillar has a bronze male torso.
The two pillars which flank Oscar Wilde on both sides are used to set out his thoughts, opinions, witticisms on art and life for all to see and judge. These quotes were selected by a mixture of poets, public figures, artists, and scientists, who use Wilde’s own words to pay tribute to him.
