maxfield parrish

Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) was a painter who made very dreamy work. He was a Philadelphian and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts. The coloration in his paintings relate to the sense of light that is achievable through the Lomo and Polaroid Emulation techniques described in my handouts. Below is a sample of one of his most famous pieces.

There is a large piece on display in the Curtis Center in Philadelphia, across from Washington Square (at 601 Walnut Street). This piece was constructed in glass by the Tiffany Company in 1916. It is 15 x 49 feet!

On another note (no pun intended), the first piece above as used in an album cover for Dalis Car that featured the vocals of Peter Murphy (from the group Bauhaus) and the extraordinary bass playing of Mick Karn (from the group Japan, that featured David Sylvian as vocalist). Below is the cover and two music video.

Here's the link that will get you to the whole album:

light images by Sen no Rikyu

Here are two examples of Light Images, aka Photographs, as made by Sen no Rikyu, the originator of the Japanese Tea Ceremony as we now know it, in the 15th century. He is also the person responsible for the philosophy of Wabi Sabi (the beauty of imperfection). Well, at least this is what is depicted in the movie "Ask this of Rikyu", 2013.
