I think there's a surge of appreciation for children’s toys that are sustainable; additionally the toys have a nostalgic value appealing to people who appreciate classic Danish design. Mid-century modern design is a much esteemed international design style; often modern twists are added with new pieces from contemporary designers such as Johnathan Adler, known for ceramics and home furnishings. Danish toy designer Kay Bojesen’s quotes, “We are sliding into a time of simplification where the practical design of everyday things will be an important demand to consider.” These toys are extremely well made to exacting design standards and have been popular since their conception; Kay Bojesen took an interest in his son’s education and identified children’s need to play. And so he designed building bricks, cars with layout tracks and every conceivable animal imaginable; as toys they interact together. An example of this is seen on the b/w poster. The monkey is posed as a teacher with a class of little bears at desks, though they are inanimate objects they are composed in a most animated state. There’s a twist to his toy designs, they have human traits; he had a delightfully playful approach to design.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj40ZPO8tehgkBp2-Yb0kTlxRCMiwB0lOkVLVy-KVxCCBHxjfeKc30VJYyJnkt91zseV4KK83sHpXPtLFtKEZ4zktqgxpPkhQRzOPyVo_bDyMZYGBIoV77W9IqScB_0zUKnk0X-ABlEAc/s512/pic10.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="394" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj40ZPO8tehgkBp2-Yb0kTlxRCMiwB0lOkVLVy-KVxCCBHxjfeKc30VJYyJnkt91zseV4KK83sHpXPtLFtKEZ4zktqgxpPkhQRzOPyVo_bDyMZYGBIoV77W9IqScB_0zUKnk0X-ABlEAc/w492-h640/pic10.png" width="492" /></a></div><div>Kay Bojesen (15 August 1886 – 28 August 1958) the designer of the iconic monkey firstly trained as a Grocer, he was an entrepreneur as well an inquisitive minded creative. Initially his work was in the style of Art Nouveau, likely due to Georg Jensen’s influence, a Danish Silversmith whom he later trained with. In 1922 he began making wooden toys for his young son. By the late 1920’s he was making the toys available to people from all levels in society. Due to the popularity the creator founded a shop in 1932 and specialized in making a range of these hand tooled wooden toys. They were no more than 6 to10 inches tall. In 1950 he designed the jointed monkey that twists and turns in varied multifarious amusing ways that could hang suspended from either hands or feet, and had the most ridiculously naïve facial expression. He first came to the British public’s attention in an exhibition at the V&A. He has been celebrated as an honorary member of the National Association of Danish Arts and Crafts. After his wife died in 1990, Danish design house Rosendahl bought the rights to the toys, and continues with production today.<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoSuVRsjUoOTRoP3Nw0XoHyRTh8GFyuj7Bk133w0Meb_xao3SLwfDqQ5Ak2hVfHxf6iJBJbQIvkW-jkupr6T-rmspiTQvZKxY-E7xr2rSnrUlqwJr0DMVKY2C-dtk-PQhb3cosbHtmZY8/s602/pic18.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoSuVRsjUoOTRoP3Nw0XoHyRTh8GFyuj7Bk133w0Meb_xao3SLwfDqQ5Ak2hVfHxf6iJBJbQIvkW-jkupr6T-rmspiTQvZKxY-E7xr2rSnrUlqwJr0DMVKY2C-dtk-PQhb3cosbHtmZY8/w532-h640/pic18.jpg" width="532" /></a></div>

Kristian Vedel (March 2, 1923 - March 5, 2003) is the creator of the bird. During his lifetime he was predominantly known as Danish industrial designer and part of the Scandinavian Design movement. At the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen he was under the tutor ledge of Kaare Klint, the father of modern Danish furniture design, he was also influenced by the German Bauhaus school. He was known to produce pieces that had functionality combined with a creative sense of use of materials. Producing multi award winning designs. He designed the bird that is rather ingenious in its design. As it appears so simple in two parts head and body with free movement, the head tilting in any direction. “Created as a family, Bird can express happiness, sadness and curiosity, living alone or together as a family.” Quotes Architectmade and continues with the production of this design.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuLVDa8BpD2IjeWVWNB8WpNFurWpmThJGJU5P6oCePM2vN_tAHgYebirXSrVyOQfzmG4pGsDI30E-AGMSRLNKBH5ys11N1yxGJoByhWSudycrARt25YLd-4EluxVFk_qmlsqSg6cbXGkw/s690/pic14.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="454" data-original-width="690" height="422" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuLVDa8BpD2IjeWVWNB8WpNFurWpmThJGJU5P6oCePM2vN_tAHgYebirXSrVyOQfzmG4pGsDI30E-AGMSRLNKBH5ys11N1yxGJoByhWSudycrARt25YLd-4EluxVFk_qmlsqSg6cbXGkw/w640-h422/pic14.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div>Morten Jensen CEO of Architectmade states, “We want to be part of pushing the general public away from the use and throw away culture.” Their collection includes Hans Bølling duck/duckling and Oscar and Bobby and Rufus from 1959 with more recent toys designed by Lars Beller Fjectland Kin family and Nikolaj Klitgaard Bubo Owls 2003 to name a few (see link below). This has given the company more flexibility to expand their range with contemporary Danish designers.

Morten Jensen, says “China is eager to learn about the quality and level of work of traditional Danish craftsmanship.” and continues, “The key to the wooden toys is although the products are handmade you should not be able to see that they are handmade. This is the perfection level both brands strive to achieve.” China has great respect for Danish design. They are using traditional methods of hand tooling, working in collaboration with the companies exacting standards.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGix4-ewVI0uHaMvu0iKhYr_1llpUri7FNewy1z5noal5OSOSnv6eloC1Nw88S_zNaCXp8owAAELiesxE02oEWtWjcrqsMnhes0uClGg0mQCd1qurbYmvwxUFGr2kFkwexvX-_8emW_w/s1200/pic23.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="814" data-original-width="1200" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikGix4-ewVI0uHaMvu0iKhYr_1llpUri7FNewy1z5noal5OSOSnv6eloC1Nw88S_zNaCXp8owAAELiesxE02oEWtWjcrqsMnhes0uClGg0mQCd1qurbYmvwxUFGr2kFkwexvX-_8emW_w/w640-h434/pic23.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div>The Rosendahl design group states, “Innovation, creative joy and respect for Danish design tradition – Our ambition is to profile and protect Danish design treasures by rediscovering classics – as well as creating new ones in keeping with Danish design tradition.

Mr Rochester pauses and smiles; a few audience members laugh and so we begin.</span><br />
<br />
Jane Eyre recorded live from the National Theatre via YouTube directed by Sally Cookson is sublime! This is the first time I've seen a theatrical production online on screen, rather than at the theatre itself. I felt concerned that my suspension of disbelief through screen based media would be a little lost without the shared audience experience and emotional impact of a live performance; the feelings of anticipation, dread, joy, humor and despair. Would the distractions at home be problematic? I’d first thought. To get the most out of such productions on screen it greatly helps to have a really good speaker system at home to let the quality of this production start to work its magic. And as in the theatre or cinema ensure your mobile phone is switched off. There are so many elements worthy to mention... my breakdown of these are as follows.<br />
<div>

From the magnificent Melanie Marshall in the scarlet dress that advanced the action of the story through song. I especially enjoyed her rendition of Noel Coward’s Mad About the Boy. Also to mention are musical scene transitions that overlaid key dialogue to further set the tone and pace and onstage during the production live musicians interwoven between these. I knew I’d love the story of Jane Eyre... the staging of sound is as masterly in construction to say the least.</div>

The lighting of this production is another wonder and is a vivid contrast to the stage’s simplicity in design. At times it is so subtle that the scenes almost felt natural and the opposite would occur to transform the audience in either time or space; with the effect of twilight and beyond with over hanging spotlights looking like stars. Ceiling height hanging curtains formed both sides and backdrop, enabling the stage to be contained. As you can see from the pictures the changing colour transformations throughout the production from rich reds to blues to neutrals; hues and saturation greatly impacted the performance of both the scene and characters within, with an additional layer of lighting strategically placed behind; following the flow of the dialogue, characters still held their presence when lit in silhouette, a nod to the Victorian era. Such intelligent use of light and colour enveloping the stage and story! On stage levels of environs were achieved through a series of ladders and platforms mainly one upper and one lower interconnected, which were quiet daringly crossed at times by the actors. Nothing was lacking or added to the set other than a Chesterfield armchair for the great Master Rochester of course.<br />

As often in theatre the limited cast play multiple roles throughout the production. I like that in costume even men were dressed as orphan girls. My only criticism is that I would have liked children playing these earlier scenes. Though I understand the practicality of late nights, repeat performances and traveling to name a few obstacles. Mr Rochester especially has a wonderful full bodied voice. His accent is spot on! Would I be wrong in saying that Felix Hayes’ Rochester is better than Fassbender’s... perhaps equally commendable, indeed this play likened emotionally to the 2011 film version. Jane’s vulnerability comes out in long monologues, which are very eloquently and passionately performed by Madeleine Worrall. During camera closeups which would not occur had I been seated live... she is utterly captivating. Her actions and facial expressions are indeed as alive as the drama itself. Her limited wardrobe in contrast to film productions neither limits her identity nor personal character’s growth.<br />
<br />
The stage directions and dialogues are just as in Charlotte Brontë’s book. The passion and fire is palatable between Jane and Rochester. They were supported extremely well with other cast members as I have mentioned playing more than one role, though I have not done justice to. The lighting, the music and the story are superbly reimagined. My lasting thought is that I can not imagine what Jane Eyre was like seeing live in the theatre... this screen based performance is undoubtedly a different experience... though still worthy I am sure.</div>

The documentary is filmed in a most magnificent location; the large bustling Indian town square in Fatehpur Sikri meaning ‘City of Victory’ UNESCO’s ghost town. Seeing the documentary on screen, is pure escapism. I can see the meditative and ponderous powers on the imagination of the ineffable grandeur preserved, as a backdrop to local people going about their everyday lives, notably the Indian women and children are dressed in a vivid range colours, interacting with each other through work and discourse; creating an array of visual colour and compositional arrangements that Hodgkin keenly observes and admires.</div>

The city itself was founded as the capital of Mughal Empire in 1571 by Emperor Akbar almost 10 years later due to the lack of an adequate water supply, the town was abandoned and the capital moved to Lahore in present day Pakistan. In observing everything from the Mughal architectural splendour, the warmth of the desaturated pinkish hue façades to the sunset sky, the sun lowering in the delicate orange sky projecting sharp beams of light on the touching the tips of the architectural domes that are symmetrically balanced around the square. The sights and sounds of people gathered working, talking, and singing, playing instruments does not look like a ghost town, but rather an everyday place that is not every day, that fortunately is not inundated with tourists, due to the Taj Mahal being an hour’s distance away.<br />
<br />
Julian Barnes describes a Hodgkin painting he has at home featured in the documentary as being ‘a blazing picture of complete joy, with a hint of green grey undertones that could symbolize melancholy.’ There is not much sadness to see, the joy and enthusiasm of orange in the painting below titled Keep it Quiet is fantastic. Dynamic brush strokes give the illusion of depth with their disrupted and blurred edges. If you asked Hodgkin’s what a painting means he’ll avoid explaining; as it’s very difficult to do so working from his nervous system from a moment or memory. This doesn’t deter Alan Yentob and us as the audience for seeking further explanations. We are met with Hodgkin’s evasiveness; it is here we bond with both the artist and interviewer, consequently the lack of explanation enables the viewer to interact with the pieces respectfully and mindfully.<br />
<br />
The titles such as Rain, Sad Flowers, Keep it Quiet, are a few mentioned subjects of the pieces, and sometimes these subjects can be literal or ironic and coincidental. Julian Barnes quotes, “When travelling with Howard he and have a running joke occasionally sitting in a bar or relaxing in a restraint, staring at a sunset, gazing at a piazza. He will say with a delivery poised between self-satire and true contentment… I feel a picture coming on. I richly reply I feel a novel coming along. He means it more than I do, well I never mean it. And I often wonder what is happening inside his head at these moments. Howard looks intently all the time, but when he says he feels a picture coming on, he seems to be looking differently, the moment is digestive, ruminant. And I know he will remember everything, that’s to say everything he needs; and will need.” If you love India, travel, and culture and want to feel a sense of departure from the everyday. Hodgkin’s paintings offer the most sublime respite.<br />

Produced in the early 1960s when he was 80 years old. Both Picasso and Matisse were known to work with lino printing making, the linocut thereafter was considered an established professional print medium.<br />
<br />
What makes these perhaps a little more remarkable is the method behind the printing process known as the reductive print method, painting in layers building up the colour and textures onto a canvas. A single piece of linoleum is used and worked into further and further with each colour. The lino was cleaned and reworked with further details with each colour added, in addition to the background paper showing through in the design. In order to produce multiple prints, each colour would be printed about 50 times, as with the final cut there’s no going back, apart from doing a highly detailed black and white also to note with this technique is that there’s no margin for error. The plus point is that the print registration was easier to achieve, also the image could be worked on more easily as a whole. Previous methods used separate lino blocks for each colour, this could produce more pieces in a future run, but registration was a little more tiresome and the image composition on separate colour layers is perhaps more difficult. A piece of lino is far from transparent like the stacking order of layers used in photoshop and key-frame animations made on semi-transparent papers.<br />
<br />
It’s interesting to see how Picasso’s final piece evolves from the base background to each colour added separately and superimposed and concluding with the final black and white and colour piece. The single colour pieces are bold and striking. It shows a certain kind of confidence and creative thinking that pushed the lino printing method into the world of multiples of colours, in a technique that puts artistic expression before the process of production. Yet, makes us appreciate the print production process more fully by showcasing all the pieces that make up the final colour composition with equal importance, unfortunately online here are just a few of the prints a total of 17 are made up just of these designs.<br />

E.A. Séguy was a rather elusive French character of the early 20th century, he doesn’t even exist on Wikipedia or at least there’s a mix-up online between him and Eugène Séguy. Eugène Séguy was a zoologiste et entomologiste with a very similar name and entomological background, rather than E.A. Séguy officially known as Emile-Allain Séguy (1877-1951) was a painter and entomologist. Important to note is that he has been credited with authentic authorship by the Met Museum and Christie’s Auction House. His studies produced many published illustrated editions, showcased below are two of his most renown, colourfully illustrated books titled Insectes and Papillons respectively — are said to be inspired by Art Nouveau and Art Deco of the 1920s/30s, which is when about they were published and indeed a great source material for textiles of that period. Insectes is detailed with a vast amount of technical illustrations of the species, especially dragonflies and damselflies, beetles and wasps with magnificent fine jewel-like wings, iridescent colouring and geometric patterns in the composite designs. Papillon’s dedicated study includes 81 varieties and 16 amazing composite textile pattern designs, using the same process of pochoir and lithograph printing as the other publication with the same stunning masterful illustrative style.<br />
<br />
Pochoir printmaking is a method adapted today by graffiti artists and previously Henri Matisse. Firstly, detailed stencils plates of either card or thin copper sheets are created. Each, inked up with different colours and placed strategically into position, what’s quite remarkable is the number of stencils used, and the precision placement involved; he likely worked with more than one assistant throughout this process. Additionally, colour matching would have been recorded as so to produce reproductions accurately. These fine prints in limited editions are still sometimes obtainable as individual prints are priced of about £2,000 today through Christie’s Auction House.<br />
<br />
It is said that he described his illustrations as “un monde somptueux de formes et de couleurs” (a world of sumptuous forms and colours). Perhaps with the aid of the microscope he was better able to examine the smallest of subject matter. Actually observing the absurdly striking colours, forms and pattern detailing of each studied species. Also worth mentioning is the arrangement and grouping of the varieties of insects into pleasing compositions within the publications design format. It is ironic that there is confusion over his accreditation, perhaps E.A. Séguy would be most amused — as in the insect world, there are no precise and easy ways to tell butterflies, moths and other like insects apart.<br />

It’s time to consider the most popular designs of 2016, as many other designs could be inspired by these current trends. Using Google images as a reference I’ve been able to make a better judgment call. Some of the designs feel slightly alien to me as wallpapers, whilst others look rather nice only as swatch designs. In the end, only two out of the ten made the cut, two others inspired potential DIY projects, below is a little reasoning sometimes very limited to explain my decision process.<br />

Well this is something … and it’s not at all apparent what exactly until seen on a feature wall (URL above), the eyes feel completely lost in that swatch, but there’s no doubt that this is a beautifully illustrated design and a lovely way of bringing the exotic outdoors into a modern city living space. The design online is featured in a Parisian furniture boutique. I wonder if the repeat would be too contrived for this subject matter used in a large area? I rather like the inky blue colour choice; it’s a good contrast from its inspired natural origins, the outline graphic style creates a sense of freshness and sophistication.<br />

Can you believe this design is the Editors pick … It is awful! So much better to reclaim old wood from a skip and apply fresh paint colour, probably as cheap to install without the cost of it looking so.<br />

The title of the design is difficult to disassociate from the film: One Day, set in 1988. It was lost on Google images, although a worthy Editors pick. I like the colours of this design and the appealing motifs, but as for being inspired by kitchen sink dramas of the 1950s and 1960s well… (URL above) There’s no impression of bleakness or emotional struggle, with motifs of steaming kettles or a chair askew. Everything is precision perfect. Perhaps a new title is needed, a street name? The piece does contain many visual references to the 1950s and 1960s. The window frame design is a nice concept and I do like the way that the motorbike, pram and rounded window have added a lovely sense of interest to the negative positive space.<br />

The name of this design is associated with the artist Tamara de Lempicka. The rich red and gold design perhaps does give off an air of modernity. I would have preferred something a little more sensual and dynamically composed as the repetition of these cylindrical motifs is a little hard to take.<br />

The vintage comic book covers attempt to come to life, an offset design with images from Thor, Spiderman and the X-men with dynamic action styling and mainly bold primary colours. I noted that this is a popular choice online with other comic formats. I’d prefer a more cut and paste DIY approach, but I like the idea of a story being unfolded on a large scale! The comic book covers in this design, however, are less impactful because they don’t reveal the stories.<br />

I thought it was interesting that the repeat design was formatted in offset squares as the swatch looked randomly composed. The design is a little overpowering as a wallpaper, though I like that that design has some geometric shaping to its layout, the cast iron blackness of the keys feel a little cold as an interior design choice.<br />

How can flamingos and palm trees be pasted onto a battleship grey background? It feels very alienating. Undoubtedly the subject matter does seem to be a popular interior choice for 2016, but where’s the magic, the whimsy, the love in this design? … a missed opportunity for sure.<br />

<br />
My goodness, I didn’t see that coming at £86 a roll, and the most popular of the ten designs on Google images! It does come in an array of colours and often the bumblebee motifs are gold foiled quite rightly at that price! I have to say I love the design! It is simply elegant and there’s a perfectly balanced contrast between the motif and the background.<br />
<br />
To conclude even though there are only ten designs it feels like a hard choice to make, if the price was no object as I am judging these only from a design perspective, I would have either the Jungle or Bumblebee as my Editors pick. Both these designs exceeded my expectations and surprised me — after all the home is where the heart is.<br />

Inspired by a trip to a pet shop titled Bird Paradise in the States, billed as the largest exotic bird superstore probably in the world, artist Claire Rosen armed herself with 200 sheets of wallpaper, a bird handler and a makeshift studio set up at the superstore. Her idea was to produce a whimsical series of photographic portraits featuring exotic birds with designed wallpaper as backgrounds. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wallpapers have often been inspired by either geometric shapes or nature. William Morris’s most popular repeating design for textiles was titled Strawberry Thief, 1883 an exquisite repeat design of flora, fruit and thrushes produced in an array of colour combinations used for fabrics and wall hangings. In the 18th-century, exotic birds were quite popular as pets. You can imagine rich stately homes featuring bold silk wall hangings and woodblock printed wallpaper designs, Gainsborough paintings and French bird stands with beautifully coloured exotic birds bringing the property to life. Nowadays French 18th-century romanticism is still a most popular style, as featured in plays, films, books and the fashion industry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Claire Rosen’s photographic portraits achieve the same aim, only she’s treated the subject matter rather like a Vogue photoshoot the compositions and colours are very keenly selected and the bird’s characterful expressions are priceless! They are very beautiful, and so are the wallpapers selected. I also like the contrast created between the illustrative designs of the wallpapers and the photographic medium of the bird portraiture, this creates a visual contrast between the mediums, at the same time every detail of the colours is coordinated between subject and background, I think to perfection. </div>

Falling Garden … there’s a wonderful romantic ring to it, it was created for the 5oth Venice Biennial, 2003. To celebrate National Poetry Day, a while ago I was looking for something tweetable, this piece had that willing suspension of disbelief for a moment… I was breathless. The staging of it is very theatrical, the plants and flowers suspended in mid-air, within the timeless of the 17th-century Baroque style interior of San Staë church on the Canale Grande... evokes feelings of passion and emotion. As seen from the photographs the whiteness, yet richly ornate space is the perfect backdrop as it enables the colours, shapes and textures of the flowers and seeds to interact. I wonder about the scale of the installation, it does seem pretty big from the aerial view although this kind of perspective we could only have gained by being there.<br />

I rather like these vintage French seed packets, and it seems I’m not the only one, as they are now selling as framed prints and as patchwork wallpaper for the kitchen … check Google images.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the colour vibrancy and visual style although the compositions are not very beautifully balanced, considering the subject matter they are cropped a little awkwardly.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a set displayed on shop racks and such the designs have some continuity between the tonality of the greens and yellows, all the other multitude of colours gives the feeling of variety and the subject context. Another added benefit with these French designs is that the typography is very uniform, simple and understated. There’s no advertising of the company’s name and address, no price tag and most importantly; not mentioning the obvious ... for example, a floral image and then the type saying: garden and flower seeds. The name of the flower is all that is needed and for further clarification, the Latin botanical translation developed by Carl Linnaeus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
“The binomial (two name) system of nomenclature was developed by Swedish naturalist, Carl Linnaeus in the mid-1700s. Grouping plants according to similarities such as leaves, flowers and fruit, he founded a natural order and named them accordingly.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Compared to other seed packaging from past to present. Where designs fail for too many reasons to justify, I think these standout and deserve a worthy mention, but perhaps the wallpaper is a no.</div>

I decided to revisit Ellsworth Kelly, although recently deceased his photographic work makes for an excellent source of study and contemplation. Illustrating the visual mind of an artist. His pieces are complementary to his paintings ...The process as a method of studying forms nature. This blog post is going to be looking at Kelly’s black and white photography. I know as an artist it must be pretty daunting staring at a blank canvas, as it is with any blank page in a notebook or new computer document. Photography has the added benefit of improving visual design and layout sensibilities, so it’s interesting to compare the medium of photography to his paintings. He favoured black and white as opposed to colour photography, meaning that he wanted to emphasize key elements: such as lighting, shape, form and texture, without colour values influencing the compositional outcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the photo titled Barn Wall 1950, the texture of the wood is very softly focused, the eye is drawn to the tension created by the horizontal line that breaks up in the far right of the composition, and the natural curvature of the wood. With Beach Cabana 1950 a windbreaker is photographed, a very simple object with a touch of modernity, but Kelly’s observation of the familiar uses the vertically striped canvas to create tension points with a top inverse edge and lower irregular alignment. The photo Pine Branch resembles the variable quality of brushstrokes in line to his painting titled Brushstrokes Cut into Forty-Nine Squares and Arranged by Chance, and again with the image Sidewalk, Los Angeles, there’s an astute observation of light and the shadow line quality. He is drawn to geometric shapes in both his paintings and photography, his photographs like his paintings show us the abstract beauty of forms timelessly seen. </div>

Ellsworth Kelly born 1923 is an American painter, sculptor and printmaker, he recently gave a very candid interview in the Guardian. I am sure he’d be a fascinating figure to meet and his generosity with time and storytelling about his paintings and other famous artists he has met with are impressive, to say the least, amusingly saying how Picasso once offered him a ride, which he was too shy to accept, but then again perhaps better to keep the myth of the artist more real. <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/nov/08/ellsworth-kelly-want-to-live-another-15-years-monograph-phaidon-tricia-paik">http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/nov/08/ellsworth-kelly-want-to-live-another-15-years-monograph-phaidon-tricia-paik</a> Though the interviewer’s comment about the self-portrait holding a bugle as glimpsing his future abstract painting compositions, because of seeing a white v-neck is a bit far-fetched. He explains the meaning and the eventful outcome of the piece quite brilliantly, “The bugle was influenced by [the German expressionist] Max Beckmann,” he says. “Our teacher was German, and he invited Beckmann to come speak to us. Later on, in Paris, I showed this picture to [Fernand] Léger, and he said: this young man should go back to America and blow his bugle.” He laughs. “That wasn't kind. But he was right. I had to go my own way.” Below are just a few sublime pieces that show his unique artistic journey that captures fleeting bold shapes and dramatic colours shifting, suspended magically in mid-air. Clearly going to France made him a better artist. The Ellsworth Kelly interview by the way, is a joy to read!<br />

I’ve been online savaging pieces from the summer exhibition titled Cut and Paste by the New York based graphic designer Ivan Chermayeff, though finished now at the De La Warr, I do hope it continues to travel and inspire. This was the first exhibition of his work in the UK as fittingly he is the son of one of the Pavilion architectural partners Serge Chermayef. The gallery is a beautiful Grade one listed 1935 Art Deco modernist design situated right on the seafront at Bexhill on Sea. I was lucky enough this summer to visit and I greatly enjoyed seeing all the pieces, admittedly<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #404040; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15px;"><b> </b></span></span>before seeing the exhibition, I was unfamiliar with most of his stuff – apart from the iconic trademarks: Pan Am, Mobil, NBC. This exhibition gave me the pleasure of realising instinctively that I was in the presence of one of the greatest living designers!<br />

With the temptation of ordering art supplies and materials from eBay, I pondered at the recycle paper trash bin at the foreign stamps with brown coarse packaging. So tempting to salvage … and here with these graphic collages by Ivan Chermayeff I can see why I found such temptation appealing and how such things can be used to great effect! Here, envelopes are turned sideways becoming and forming new identities sometimes in bizarrely human forms. By simply utilising the humble postage stamp juxtaposed with other media, these pieces are intelligently fashioned and designed. As featured in Why Stamps? “Chermayeff calls attention to the parts with a brief essay on postage stamps and a selection of fourteen collages which use stamps and mail to the best possible effect. Also shown are two of Chermayeff’s smallest cut-paper collages: Stamps for the USPS and Royal Mail.” Above and below are some illustrated samples, I just love the visual compositions of the pieces and the way that they are delightfully interjected with humour.<br />

Film editing if done to perfection happens in the blink of an eye so it appears naturally seamless, here Japanese artist Shinro Ohtake offers a similar viewing experience with his collection of handmade sketchbooks. I am so impressed with his creativity and productivity, and that he never seems to repeat himself. Maybe it's impossible to because of the very method of cut and paste. In the photograph of the sketchbook unopened each page is a unique, the multiple vertical colours of the paper edges pick up every colour in existences without even looking at the creative designs inside, he has produced something very beautiful indeed, perhaps impossible to paint too, as each time the sketchbook stands the pages flex and breath and I should think subtle visual changes occur with the stress of the paper and the key positioning of the pages.<br />
<br />
Inside the sketchbooks is an array of montage images with references to both American and Japanese popular culture. He collected stuff from endless sources such as from magazines, comic books, billboards and urban empheria, found, displayed, posted and re-assembled into multilayered pieces using a variety of creative compositions and artistic materials. The pieces naturally take on new meanings from the juxtapositioning and abstractions, where cut ups of language the Japanese pictograms are added, but undecodable to me. I feel a visceral response, a kind of visual engagement with certain pieces more than others. Sometimes the pieces are created using natural forms interwoven with other media and materials. I greatly admire his visual colour sensibility, odiously inspired from the collected materials he assembles, aimed to catch the eye and sell products or the inspirational dreams to lure us to buy, though fragmented and separated from their original contexts, don't lack impact, the dream is just more creatively manipulated and emotive.<br />
<br />
I am delighted that the handmade sketchbooks are the finished art, sure he's done larger scale stuff and sculptures too, whereas artists like Turner kept watercolour sketchbooks and then produced a finished piece indoors in a studio. These are an artistic journey in themselves, it's just a pity that when they are displayed within a gallery setting they are often precisely arranged inside glass cabinets. Part of the beauty of the media is the tactile quality, you want to touch, to smell, to look closely. However, you could say the same about film, at a cinema the best seats are where your eye’s level with the screen, situated dead centre, with rows of seats standing in front and behind, but when the lights go down it's only you there. In the blink of an eye these visually interactive pieces are quite mesmerising.<br />

With a proud and overstated sense of colour, shape and decorative style that could easily be taken from deco influences. These Indian cinemas are distinctly modernist in style built from 1945-1980s and quite recently photographed in 2011-13 by German duo Haubitz+Zoche, are set in urban landscapes. What is interesting is that they are dated, they are certainly not modern multiplexes. The photographs are set far back enough to show the area for car parking that appears quite small and oddly not a single car is parked at any of the venues. As a result, the photographs of the cinemas look all the more authentic and magnificent, not as grand perhaps as our earlier deco picture houses, but they certainly stand apart.<br />

A very popular concept is to visit film locations. I’m guessing primarily that a lot of research needs to be done, as it would be disappointing to discover the background sets were CGI or a mock-set, built and filmed entirely in the studios. New York is notoriously rich in film locations from the Hollywood years to present day. With such greats as An Affair to Remember to Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Ghostbusters and Bridge of Spies. These concept photographs by Chirstopher Moloney were first featured in the classic Vanity Fair magazine.<br />
<br />
He describes the original concept of FILMography as film and photography fused together. As seen from the photographs he matches movie scenes with their present day location: kind of like movie selfies if there is such terminology, it adds a certain authenticity to the endeavour that otherwise could be mistaken for being photoshopped. I like his upbeat thoughts discussing the art project, describing how he’s re-created a remarkable 250 location photographs around the city of New York and finds it a little hard to believe that very different directorial styles and genres coexist within the city districts of the same New York. The photographs featured are credited at the bottom of the article to encourage a bit of guesswork. Here are just a few examples please do checkout FILMography. The piece below was written by Jonathan Pace, Chris Rovzar and Jeremy Megraw, and decided to include as is.<br />
<br />
Journalist Christopher Moloney walks to work through Central Park on most days, and last Summer he made an observation. “Every day I walked past tons of locations from popular—and not-so-popular—movies,” he explains. He decided to start printing out stills from the films and comparing them to their real-life counterparts. “Since then, I’ve re-created more than 250 scenes around the city.” His work—which includes movies as varied as Midnight Run, The French Connection, and Shaft—can be found at his Web site, FILMography. “I’m actually surprised that locations used in the 1940s and 1950s haven’t changed that much,” he says. “But places used in movies last year are virtually unrecognizable.” New York also changes depending on the director, Moloney adds. “You can tell just how much filmmakers like Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee love the city. It’s sometimes hard to believe that those three very different places are all the same city.”<br />

This blog is about featured artwork in films. Its curator Martin Cole keeps the site fresh with the ability to connect with his audience and accept submissions online, I do hope it grows so much more. The artwork could be anything really from a sketch, photograph, sculpture, cartoon or tattoo. Sometimes these are from films where one of the characters is known as an artist, others are gallery scenes and homely spaces and everything in-between. Be sure to check out The Art in Film site as I’m sure you’ll have your own personal journey and may want to submit or at least keep your eyes peeled whilst viewing the nuances of film. It’s interesting seeing how aptly the art fits within the scenes and the unspoken messages that the art piece conveys about the character or film narrative. Finally, it’s hilarious seeing the ‘film stills’ illustrate the character’s engagement with the art as a defining moment, it’s out of context in the way that there’s no story, moving picture or sound. But as they are—they made me smile.<br />

“I wouldn’t buy a book simply because I like the cover. I would pick it up. The jacket can call your attention to it. But in that sense, Oprah Winfrey is worth all the jackets in the world. A jacket is basically trying to do what she does all on her own.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
“You know, it sounds really corny to say it, but since most of my projects are book jackets, for the most part I’m inspired by whatever the book is, or by the manuscript itself. And while there aren’t a lot of graphic design ‘rules’ that I adhere to, certainly one of them is…somewhere within the problem lies the solution. I do truly believe that. I think the inspiration comes from the text, and then you sort of take it from there. A really good book cover has to work regardless of what it’s about, on a visceral and emotional level.”</div>

Paul Rand Quotes<br />
<br />
“Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions, there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated.”<br />
<br />
“Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.”<br />
<br />
“A logo doesn’t sell, it identifies. A logo derives its meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolizes, not the other way around. A logo is less important than the product it signifies; what it means is more important than what it looks like.”<br />

Neville Brody Quotes<br />
<br />
“Typography is a hidden tool of manipulation within society.”<br />
<br />
“People think that digital language is a fixed language, but it’s not: it’s very fluid. It’s like I’m doing a painting where the paint refuses to dry.”<br />
<br />
“Design is more than just a few tricks to the eye. It’s a few tricks to the brain.”<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

“It is very important to embrace failure and to do a lot of stuff – as much stuff as possible – with as little fear as possible. It’s much, much better to wind up with a lot of crap having tried it than to overthink in the beginning and not do it.”</div>

Paula Scher Quotes<br />
<br />
“Another thing they don’t teach you in design school is what you get paid for… Mostly, designers get paid to negotiate the difficult terrain of individual egos, expectations, tastes, and aspirations of various individuals in an organization or corporation, against business needs, and constraints of the marketplace… Getting a large, diverse group of people to agree on a single new methodology for all of their corporate communications means the designer has to be a strategist,psychiatrist, diplomat, showman, and even a Svengali. The complicated process is worth money.That’s what clients pay for.”<br />
<br />
“Find out what the next thing is that you can push, that you can invent, that you can be ignorant about, that you can be arrogant about, that you can fail with, and that you can be a fool with. Because in the end, that’s how you grow.”<br />
<br />
“Be culturally literate, because if you don’t have any understanding of the world you live in and the culture you live in, you’re not going to express anything to anybody else.”<br />
<br />
“It took me a few seconds to draw it, but it took me 34 years to learn how to draw it in a few seconds.”<br />
<br />
“The work needs to get out of your head and on to the table, and it needs to be done from the heart.”<br />

Saul Bass Quotes<br />
<br />
“Design is Thinking Made Visual.”<br />
<br />
“I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.”<br />
<br />
“Sometimes when an idea flashes, you distrust it because it seems too easy. You qualify it with all kinds of evasive phrases because you’re timid about it. But often, this turns out to be the best idea of all.”<br />

There’s something very cool and refreshing about pastel colours. Here’s an array of candy coloured art installations, photographic architectural details of every day, paintings, Wedgwood’s colour pallet and some rather odd looking cats. Text captions are from Another Magazine from the Good Things in art and design archive, to aid further research. Sometimes the nostalgic allure of pastels complements the sweet melancholy of an autumn morning.<br />

These black and white photographs are detailed compositional studies beautifully showcasing the style and extravaganza of deco taken in and around New York.

Faber Modern Classics of 1929 heritage will be launching ten new designs of their classic paperback books in April 2015, followed by another six in June, below are the first of the new designs. The series, “…Will bring together its different strands, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama.” explains FF online.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The grid structure though conveys information clearly I feel should have been devised with much more complexity. Enabling the designer to work with the different format images and the band of colour in a more unique fashion, using patterns, lines, borders and curved shapes reflecting the author, writing styles and the era, secondly, there’s the photographs, typographic designs and illustration to consider. Both aspects have to work in conjunction with each other. The typographic headings are set using the font Helvetica for the 2015 publication, though admitting it is a classic font, surely we are getting a little tired of it since the self-titled Gary Hustwit documentary film 2007. It is too overused whereas a classic book is accepted as exemplary and noteworthy. Therefore, not to be confused with the iconic font most known in New York’s subway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do like the way the band of colour that has a translucence overlay on to each image that carefully references the brand’s heritage, and the author's previous printed editions. As I mentioned previously the layout could have been more creative and far less uniform. Faber and Faber’s very strong art deco identity combined with the heritage colours I feel would have produced enough design consistency throughout this series.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The mix of illustrations and photography is good, but the cropping of the images has made the images seem somewhat formulaic though undoubtedly they do reflect the spirit of the times, here the format works best with the Sylvia Plath and John Osborne covers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The pulled quotes are marvellous and are very well chosen. It’s surprising how well they fit with the images and yet the formatting feels a little detached from them. I think that I have mixed feelings towards this series because I love classic literature, and I also greatly admire other cover designs published by Faber and Faber. The Poetry Essentials box set is wonderful!</div>

Bob Eckstein clearly loves books, this illustrative sequence is a commission by The New Yorker to basically draw his favourite bookstores, with each he creates a dialogue; often with a star attraction. They are composed of a typical street scene with urbanites and traffic drifting past, and some people stopping to look in as you do. All showing the colourful array of books reflecting in the large plate glass double fronted windows with the slightest suggestion of the layout inside. The narratives feature many recorded frank and funny moments. He’s chosen famous people worth mentioning like Madonna and Sean Penn, Robin Williams, Philip Roth and Liza Minnelli who collide with punk kid fans, blackouts and explosions and daggers, daggers in the visual sense of the word. However, what touches mostly is the kindness of strangers. After a nearby asbestos explosion, customers exited the store in a panic without paying for their books. A few days later some customers returned and paid for the books they had fled with. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I did.</div>

Yuko Yamamoto’s illustrations are stylish and sophisticated; her choices of colour and layout appear to look effortless. She works in collage, paper cutting, drawing, and watercolour. There is a very feminine quality to her portfolio online, due to the subjects she chooses to illustrate and her beautifully balanced; and thought out colour combinations.<br />
<br />
I first got directed to her site with a link to her paper cuts, on the first page of images she adorns herself in the soft white foliage of her designs, a promising start I thought, on the next linked page more portfolio were pieces exhibited, I discovered that the paper cuts were not getting more intricately complex by either method or composition. Throughout her series of pieces, was the organic nature of her designs and the use of the camera to better showcase them. Her photographs compositions were as vital as the work itself, using shadows and lighting techniques and placement, using curved objects such as a studio chair, it’s interesting seeing how the piece of delicate 2D design falls softly into the 3D object.<br />
<br />
Her pencil drawings have the same flair and style as the subjects she illustrates, again there is a simplicity and elegance of line. Her drawings of the shop fronts Chanel and Mui Mui added a touch of class.<br />
<br />
The illustrative collages I think I liked best because of her combined skills of paper crafting with a playful sense of colour. There was an appealing vintage theme throughout her designs, best seen with the illustration of objects such as an SLR camera, a screw-top pepper pot and a key which might fit an old French chateau, I’d very much like to imagine.<br />
<br />
Though she is a Japanese illustrator with an innate compositional sense, her illustrations are inspired by a French vintage style from the 1920s onwards. Everything is artfully composed, the way she photographed her paper cut designs was an interesting two-step process. As appealing as her work is I am yearning to see a more conceptual approach to her designs. However, what is absolutely apparent is the high-end presentation of all her creative pieces.<br />
