So if not this year then within the past few years. The explosion of the emerging handmade as art has been a really fascinating (re)development in art and I'm very pleased to see the art world once again paying attention to good drafting and craftsmanship.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278566014707714270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3599102892768830332.post-72041374108930934862010-01-16T19:58:57.722-06:002010-01-16T19:58:57.722-06:00Great choice, very well described. I wonder if yo...Great choice, very well described. I wonder if you know when it was made: this is an interesting question, because an artist's choice of media reveals a lot. Particularly in the era of digital imagery, if an artist chooses to use a laborious analog technique, it demonstrates craft, the human touch with all its rich imperfections and sometimes unpredictable results. <br />ON the other hand, if it's from the fifties or sixties, then it is more an expression of liberation, the loosening of text, alphabet and language from conventional order, the possibility of inventing a new way of seeing the world. I think the red in the center of the image indicates the glowing, red-hot heart of the city, as well as a display of technical expertise.Alison Fraunharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12482978730859289584noreply@blogger.com
