"horts" - gesamtkunstwerk or if artists architected.

work of artist victoria campillo, currently exhibited in the design museum barcelona. 

its like a wes anderson movie, the aesthetic of authenticity, the poetry of normality, the hilarious fabulousness of humanity. 

you should see the whole hundred photographs of selfconstructed sheds, all situated in the Baix Llobregat area of Barcelona. 

art is everywhere

carlo mollino , jack of all trades

this guy really puts me in enduring amazement. "you only live once" at its best - professional skier, architect, photographer, publisher, journalist, inventor, car designer, interior & furniture designer, fashion designer and probably thats not even all. his interior & furniture design captivated me most, therefor i let you make your own picture of his entire work, which is massive. he might be best known for his nude polaroids, but i think the scale between body and space were he worked best.

Honor to whom honor is due.

the petition for honoring denise scott brown postmortem for her contribution as seminal to her husbands' work, the exhibition on eileen gray in the centre pompidou in paris - honor to whom honor is due.

there was a kickstarter-project to fund a documentary on eileen gray's house E1027 and her relations and influence on le corbusier and others.  unfortunately, there are far too little supporters for the time being. 20 days left!

In episode 7, season 6 of mad men, this chaise longue, officially designed by le corbusier, gets quite some attention. The influence of eileen gray is evident, the fact that the design actually comes from charlotte perriand, who worked for Le Corbusiers atelier, rather unknown. Behind every great man there is a great woman.

Henri Rousseau, le douanier

My favourite painting of the Kunstmuseum Basel; negro attacked by a jaguar, 1910 Henri Rousseau. 

Henri Rousseau was largely seen as a curiosity -- a naïve, unlearned, uncultured and unsophisticated painter -- but he grew to be a fashionable curiosity, with special interest by Pablo Picasso the writer Guillaume Apollinaire. He was autodidact, "a prodigiously intuitive person", but certainly not uneducated, he himself claimed he had "no teacher other than nature".

Exploring the traces of the precedent pavillons in the earth. 

the impact of an existentialist

isaku yanaihara didnt't get loose of my thoughts, japanese existentialist philosopher and in no other connection known as with alberto giacometti. 
there is no information about his philosophy or writings only their impact on giacometti; 


a true crisis in his work. 

Giacometti required models to sit or stand for hours for his busts, which, in contrast to his elongated standing figures, have complex and recognizable facial features. He often had trouble finding suitable people, outside his family. From 1956 to 1961 yanaihara posed for him on 230 days - he had enough patience to pose an converse with him about intellectual subjects for 10 hours at a time. 

Yanaihara was not only model and converser of existentialism for giacometti, 1956, with giacometti's consent, he became also his wife's lover. 

Through his association with yanaihara, the actual shape of the head and the true physical appearance of the subject became less important than the mental impression giacometti had. Giacometti's efforts focused on capturing the spirit of the man. He started to look at art in a more symbolic way. 

IF 70% OF OUR PERCEPTION IS VISUAL,

WHY ARGUE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF DESIGN?

liberation

"If art has any sense at all, it lies in liberating man from domestication by civilisation and for it to be able to liberate the audience, then it must, first of all, liberate its creator."
