"Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature. " - Josef Albers.

Josef Albers (1888–1976) was a highly influential painter, color theorist and teacher--a monumental figure in international postwar art and aesthetics; his wife and artistic equal, Anni Albers (1899–1994), created important textile artworks as well as spare and abstract paintings and drawings. Together, their artistic roots can be traced to the time they shared at the Bauhaus in Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s. After immigrating to the United States in 1933, the couple traveled regularly to Mexico and South America to study the art, architecture and textile designs of pre-Columbian cultures.

(I've forgotten how much I love this film. Incredible in every way.)

Brilliant English animators The Brothers Quay create their first feature-length live-action film in this tale of a dilapidated boarding school for the teaching of servants run by a brother and sister in which the curriculum is the repetition of one single lesson. When Jacob, a young man, enrolls in the school, he becomes entangled in the strange lives of the students and headmasters alike. Called by director Terry Gilliam, "The most visually beautiful and hauntingly humorous film I have seen in the last 300 years."

saul fletcher (three images)


Saul Fletcher's work compresses issues of human existence into intimately scaled photographs brimming with psychic energy. Moody, intense, and hermetic in nature, these photographs use a time-honored vocabulary of subjects, ranging from religious symbols to common objects, from abstract expressionist marks to posed models, in order to grapple with complex issues of mortality, sexuality, spirituality, and redemption. Fletcher's entire photographic oeuvre consists of one long sequence of untitled images, their order preconceived not as a grand, declarative narrative but as a studied compilation of moments..

JIM ISERMANN
APRIL 18 – MAY 16, 2009

at Richard Telles Fine Art. see more here..

"Isermann’s career spans over twenty-five years of combining fine art and modern design through playfully complex systems of abstraction. Utilizing a wide-range of materials, Isermann explores form and function in hand-made woven rugs, fabric-covered sculptural cubes, vinyl-patterned wall murals, and vacuum-formed wall modules, among other work.
The series of new paintings that will be exhibited, along with four others exhibited at Corvi-Mora, London in 2008, are the first produced by the artist in twenty years. The paintings are algorithms based on the geometry of a recently commissioned vacuum-formed wall installation. The return to painting has allowed Isermann to embrace a more
traditional studio practice derived from working with industrial materials and manufactured products. Though many artists use American design history in their work, Jim Isermann has long been at the forefront of these concerns."

To to the highest place I can find
Stand there on a cliff with gooseflesh
Watching the wind rip the leaves of the trees"
