I have to start writing here because I try not to editorialize on my <a href="http://anitanh.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">tumblr site</a>. There I have been obsessed with the <a href="http://archive.org/advancedsearch.php" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a> in general and old books on emblems in particular. Yes, lately it has been the emblems. I've seen some before but the one's I have been looking at lately are fantastic. They are surreal. They would make fabulous tarot cards. (As much as I like tarot cards, I know very little about their history. Are they, in fact, based on emblems?) I'm perhaps unclear on the purpose of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emblem" target="_blank">emblems</a>. I like them because they are engraved. I can see how Edward Gorey might have been influenced by them. Some seem like precursors to <i>Alice In Wonderland</i>.<br />

In general, the Internet Archive is my favorite place to spend time. I am obsessed with it like some become sucked in by Television. It's my form of Gaming, perhaps. I take images and manipulate them into patterns. But that aside, I am impressed by the works, with the sheer volume of works accessible via the archive. There is so much old beautiful material that is available to anyone. Every so often I hit on a category that fascinates me. Emblems totally fascinate me.<br />
<br />
Some of the material is very old and rare. Before the archive I would have to travel to various cities with academic libraries, gain permission to access each facility, use their card catalog, make appointments to see particular items, and show up with nothing more than an index card and a pencil. I would not even be allowed to touch some of these volumes. There would be a staff page turner.<br />
<br />
And how would I even know these things existed before the archive? I just stumbled upon the first example. Then through the miracle of subject indexing I found the rest. I don't really care about the language: Latin, French, Dutch, whatever--its the illustrations that I am after and they transcend language. It's a universal language--that of the symbol.

I found a book on my shelf today that has changed my life: <i>The Simplified Human Figure: Intuitional Expression</i> by Adolfo Best-Maugard (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1936). It's a dump find that has been around for some time.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today I picked it up, opened it to nearly the end, and was astounded by what I read. It suddenly seemed to provide the information about design, about art, about the purpose of life itself, that I have been searching for all along.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The method of design of which this book presents an aspect, quite aside from its practical usefulness, is both a discipline to the mind and a stimulus to the intuition, both working in conjunction, and as such it is an aid to harmonious development: intelligence interprets those things which the intuition divines, the emotions charge them with life, and the hand executes. By these means the entire nature is aroused to a creative and co-ordinated activity; it is freed of its repressions and made ready for those further transmutations which the more intimate, intense, and vital experiences of life perhaps alone can give. The book is intended to be both a manual of design and an evolutionary agent. . . . </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This quest for LIFE should be carried on within oneself, not in the outside world or in others, where it is usually sought. These (because he makes them so) are only reflections of himself, giving him back only his own image, useful therefore for knowledge of himself, but not for self-regeneration. This is discovered only in the silence, and in the secret places of the heart, for self-regeneration depends on <i>the capacity for loving</i>. Love is the power which frees man from his egg-shell existence and unites him with Life. Love may descend at any moment or never. But it is possible nevertheless to create conditions favorable to the descent of the divine fire. <i>Right attitude</i> creates a favorable condition; it <i>attracts</i>, like a lighted lamp in a window. Attitude may be defined as the way one wants to <i>be</i> or to become. If one wants to be love-illuminated, the attitude should be one of expectancy of that event.</blockquote>
In a glassine envelope attached to the inside back cover is a pink "spiragraph" tool to be used in demonstrating the "organic structure and mathematical perfection" of the instinctive spiral.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The intellect, on the other hand, interferes with this instinctive and intuitive action. It acts by itself and thus disturbs the great organic rhythms, unless it be conditioned, controlled, harmonized in its action by its "divine spouse" which is LOVE. </blockquote>

The design of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirograph" target="_blank">Spirograph</a> geometric drawing game (which I loved as a kid) is attributed to the British engineer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denys_Fisher" target="_blank">Denys Fisher</a> who first marketed it in 1965. Athough according to <a href="http://thebioscope.net/2010/09/04/spinning-the-spirograph/" target="_blank">The Bioscope</a>, Theodore and Bessie Brown actually came up with the idea first back in 1907. Precursors include: the Phenakistoscope, the Zoetrope, the Zoopraxiscope, the Tachyscope, the Bioscope, the Kammatograph, and the Animatograph.AnitaNHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00281423600715775887noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994855253618611423.post-42264858509455224002013-09-03T09:07:00.000-04:002013-09-03T09:30:16.931-04:00The Fishbein Connection<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is so rewarding when someone sees my work and shares a connection that I have overlooked. This past weekend a gentleman was studying the older collage work in my back gallery and came to me with a question about my diptych titled <a href="http://anitanh.blogspot.com/2010/01/backstory-sad-infatuation.html" target="_blank">A Sad Infatuation</a>. <br />
<br />
He wanted to know if there was some significance to the name Morris Fishbein which appears attributing a reviewer's comment on the jacket flap of <i>Physical Attraction and Your Hormones</i>. I replied that I did not know anything about Fishbein, who also wrote the books forward, but would now have to look him up. And <a href="http://rense.com/general19/enemy.htm" target="_blank">this is what I found</a>. Adds a little bit of relevance to the overall theme I must admit!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Ig3E97iU5sFpoOm8eVnbRPFAQ9YLhpPzrP11wnz-SSkVohbgUjLQ53VaR7cVx2JlioM8tGTsv14YUZ7FAcyC52YFvwVasLf9jjQvPE45eWQWWdkkeEsX0pe52Qqe6U2lJQSalH9z4eSB/s1600/SadHousekeeping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Ig3E97iU5sFpoOm8eVnbRPFAQ9YLhpPzrP11wnz-SSkVohbgUjLQ53VaR7cVx2JlioM8tGTsv14YUZ7FAcyC52YFvwVasLf9jjQvPE45eWQWWdkkeEsX0pe52Qqe6U2lJQSalH9z4eSB/s320/SadHousekeeping.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And there is another bit of trivia: The author of the book, Nina Katherine Lunn, was the daughter of Wallace H. White, Jr. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_H._White,_Jr." target="_blank">White</a> was a U.S. Senator from the state of Maine. Lunn reportedly "became a Washington (and later Hollywood) society figure, especially after writing a book entitled <i>Physical Attraction and Your Hormones</i> (Doubleday, 1950), and working on another, apparently unfinished, entitled <i>Venus was an Amateur</i>. She divorced her first husband, a Pittsburgh broker, in 1942 for having squandered her assets."<br />

I just completed three interactive art catalogs of digital art on my <a href="http://anitanh.tumblr.com/tagged/art-catalog" target="_blank">tumblr</a>. They have a new feature which allows posting up to ten photos at once and I had been ignoring it. Up until today that is.

This started with two crossed lines and then I just filled in on four sides. Such fun to make that I started creating little repeat patterns, and then added some color. Done with marking pens from Staples on cheap water color paper last night in bed because it was too cold in the office to sit at the computer. Today it was warmer so I scanned them and played around in Photoshop.<br />

I really like this pattern but I am nervous about the use of two of the photos. Especially the one of Einstein with the clown nose. I even did a Google image search to try to locate the source.<br />

I'll be applying this "turn-around" scheme to everything I've done to date no doubt. This one is one of my favorites. I started <a href="http://anitanh.blogspot.com/2008/11/collage-progress-report_26.html" target="_blank">the original collage</a> in 2008. Perhaps I will finish it next year.<br />

I did not mean to swipe this--I tried to resist--but the urge to see what would happen was too strong! You really can't tell from the final mutation, above. But an earlier version, below, reveals my source.<br />

Yesterday I finished a collage that had been kicking around for some time. I decided to scan the background, an old book page on watercolor paper on which I had drawn a grid. Then I scanned the individual elements and played around in photoshop. You can <a href="http://anitanh.tumblr.com/tagged/Italian-Lessons" target="_blank">see the entire development on the tumblr</a>.<br />

Last night I was playing around in Photoshop creating patterns from some Spoonflower fabric swatch photos. I suddenly discovered how easy it is to create something like the above by inverting a selection of the design.

Take a look at this work by <a href="http://keepdrafting.com/?cat=8" target="_blank">Augustine Kofie</a>.

I was surfing on my favorite used book site and I came across a jacket illustrated by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Ravilious" target="_blank">Eric Ravilious</a> that looked very familiar! It served to remind me of the book scanned above which has been sitting on my shelf in the front hallway for a few years just waiting for me to make this morning's connection. I have additional volumes and even though the set is incomplete I am happy to have paid .25 for each at a church used book sale. <br />

I have been listening to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPdvhbnXfoE" target="_blank">Alan Watts on YouTube</a> recently.<br />
<i><br /></i>
In his three hour lecture titled <i>Do You Do It, Or Does It Do You? </i>Watts
mentions a phenomenon he calls "Target Fascination" whereby skydivers
are so involved in gazing at the approaching target that they forget to
pull their parachute cord. The target represents doom. How timely.<br />
<br />
I
started to think about this association of targets with doom as it
might be represented in modern art. The work of Jasper Johns immediately
sprang to mind.<br />
<br />

I
did a little online investigation of the concept of Target Fascination
and found an interesting article citing a study of pilot errors due to
"fascination," concentration on some
object or task that caused loss of voluntary control over response. This
was called <a href="http://www.visualexpert.com/Resources/motheffect.html" target="_blank">the moth effect</a>.<br />

The illustration at the top of this post (which was found <a href="http://strangerbetweenworlds.wordpress.com/tag/jasper-johns/" target="_blank">here</a>) is a portrait of Jasper Johns by Shepard Fairey. The second and third illustrations are works by Jasper Johns.<br />

Check out this <a href="http://www.sfmoma.org/explore/multimedia/videos/141" target="_blank">video of Jasper Johns</a> discussing his target paintings courtesy of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art site.

<br />
I'll start off with the "Something New" part. I just discovered that <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/anitanh" target="_blank">Spoonflower</a> is now offering wallpaper and wall decals in addition to fabric. I am intrigued by the new design possibilities, especially for collage. Thus far I have been limited by the size of the paper that I can run through my printer which is only 8.5 inches wide. Now I can get something printed 12x24 inches. I've had some untested designs there for quite some time. I think I will order some of them as wallpaper swatches and see what I can do with them!<br />
<br />
The "Something Old" part started off as a mistake. I was looking through my <a href="http://anitanh.tumblr.com/archive" target="_blank">tumblr archive</a> a few days ago and thought I saw the same item displayed twice--this one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX2J7cSytS4vGigs5nLhj4R0GLXFwEVMQJoJewubOspQOY3j3FhlD4v-tCxQpZGLnlzQuSicqrVhaTlGqYQ92lOoRhkVDqQvxkDftYiqHtRbAneJ_06Y8V6MJ_EowOG3lAPfc47ZW56DzQ/s1600/QDonGray.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX2J7cSytS4vGigs5nLhj4R0GLXFwEVMQJoJewubOspQOY3j3FhlD4v-tCxQpZGLnlzQuSicqrVhaTlGqYQ92lOoRhkVDqQvxkDftYiqHtRbAneJ_06Y8V6MJ_EowOG3lAPfc47ZW56DzQ/s320/QDonGray.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So I deleted one copy and they both disappeared! I really liked the design so I re-posted it. The first time I put it up a couple of years ago I did not have many followers and it was ignored. This time it started getting "hearts" and re-blogs almost immediately so I decided to give it the full Photoshop treatment of repeats, color changes, and artistic distortions.<br />

I've been playing around with a collage called <a href="http://anitanh.tumblr.com/post/11100292406/flatland-no-1-collage-by-anitanh" target="_blank">Flatland No. 1</a> and created a mandala. The colors make me feel good and I even got to use my favorite spiral brush.

I'm revisiting my collage <a href="http://anitanh.tumblr.com/post/11098612286/decoder-dots-no-1-collage-by-anitanh#notes" target="_blank"><i>Decoder Dots No. 1</i></a>. I keep telling myself I will do one on canvas. (I'm a moron for putting it off.) I love the diagonal orientation. It's just a little unsettling. It could suddenly tip.<br />
<br />

I was messing around with the Bead Club poster and made Grid No. 2 Sponge Orange (above). The whole thing started with a photograph of a little 12x12 inch collage on canvas called Flatland Spin (below). It is fun to see how one thing progresses into another and then another until something totally new and surprising comes to life.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuTAfA7GAvg7fpMCOUTmzx84ZcBc2UiEiwV8TOoVZJAF2SspjZffsZLF5akuK3cKlWMHypwd_R7K6iMJowiXh1MmKT5vPZz64Sqwbc_wv_SNevRCWNBjWpaJDaYqtvXd8ixy8aKuZpZP0X/s1600/FlatlandSpin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuTAfA7GAvg7fpMCOUTmzx84ZcBc2UiEiwV8TOoVZJAF2SspjZffsZLF5akuK3cKlWMHypwd_R7K6iMJowiXh1MmKT5vPZz64Sqwbc_wv_SNevRCWNBjWpaJDaYqtvXd8ixy8aKuZpZP0X/s320/FlatlandSpin.jpg" width="315" /></a></div>
<br />
It started out with a simple repeat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQQFE3-C19YNldhDaWzlFVx9WzKRGemtyxku0fc__9sEoQ0n2OuP0_rkkOhB4Rc6DPx4wtb3gnGsX__dOLKyYYuxmhW05vtqGsuUXNf3GOrtlaOBtq-PaAAaTOjxazp51R46Sa0qo7yXy1/s1600/FlatlandSpinQuilt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQQFE3-C19YNldhDaWzlFVx9WzKRGemtyxku0fc__9sEoQ0n2OuP0_rkkOhB4Rc6DPx4wtb3gnGsX__dOLKyYYuxmhW05vtqGsuUXNf3GOrtlaOBtq-PaAAaTOjxazp51R46Sa0qo7yXy1/s320/FlatlandSpinQuilt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And then a color change along with a distortion.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGzYtO3uRFjvVe50dLol2vg1Uu_773diN-bo6I11ukjCpmrmA_7tePSbAUUKzGW1I1n5GpACSb-Z3rBv90ZwifslRmIJ7PPItm2b0h0XXNk0vig9xk48FKoTVQQqFRsN4SSs6rR0PpRXIQ/s1600/FSGoldCross.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGzYtO3uRFjvVe50dLol2vg1Uu_773diN-bo6I11ukjCpmrmA_7tePSbAUUKzGW1I1n5GpACSb-Z3rBv90ZwifslRmIJ7PPItm2b0h0XXNk0vig9xk48FKoTVQQqFRsN4SSs6rR0PpRXIQ/s320/FSGoldCross.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And then I cropped the dot and repeated and played some more.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRZZvK05lONzDi6BojGX-kXQEE8IpW2xn9MknUa7ItrH4YnaumwEmIFCJOa7v-ma-z-cckXbOGVRLLM-kPrzdVfE5k4EzeVdtwC3U8SJ_sOfsxIa0oO-v7wHJcU85CbkXGQroLlu50Flig/s1600/grid2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRZZvK05lONzDi6BojGX-kXQEE8IpW2xn9MknUa7ItrH4YnaumwEmIFCJOa7v-ma-z-cckXbOGVRLLM-kPrzdVfE5k4EzeVdtwC3U8SJ_sOfsxIa0oO-v7wHJcU85CbkXGQroLlu50Flig/s320/grid2.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
