GIVEN FLOWERS #17

by Paul Strand “untitled”

“Honesty no less than intensity of vision is the prerequisite of a living expression. This means a real respect for the thing in front of… the photographer… this is accomplished without tricks of process or manipulation through the use of straight photographic methods…”

Please check out this nice blog where my polaroid work got featured! Thank you Nancy!

ベネズエラの歴史を知るのにおススメの本。
”Las Lanzas Coloradas”（赤い槍）by アウトゥロ・ウスラー・ピエルティ
南米にマジックリアリズムを植え付けるきっかけとなった一冊。

ベネズエラとは付き合いもまだまだ浅いですが、数多くの本を通じて国の感性の豊かさをたくさん見せてもらってきました。魔の手がのびない事を願っています。

Las Lanzas Coloradas (The Red Lances) by the Venezuelan writer Arturo Uslar-Pietri, may very well be the first-ever official germination of Latin American magical realism…Anyone interested in Venezuelan History this a great book to begin with..This is a 1932 German edition, designed by the German master typographer Jan Tschichold…

NYで行われたヒックスの回顧展を記念してのカタログで、彼女の５０年にも渡る活動の集大成でもあります。この本のデザイナー、イルマ・ブームはライプチヒで「世界で最も美しい本」の最優秀賞を受賞し、注目を集めました。本であり、彫刻であり、ブックデザインの可能性を改めて教えてくれる一冊です。

Here is the most beautiful book available at bdp bookstore:

“Weaving as Metaphor” by Sheila Hicks
http://store.bookdummypress.com/product/weaving-as-metaphor-by-sheila-hicks

This intriguing catalogue was first published in conjunction with the exhibition in NY. It examines the small woven and wrought works Sheila Hicks, an American fiber artist, has produced for the past fifty years. The pages have been cut in such an irregular, textured way that the sides of the book feel like a woven piece themselves. The designer of this book Irma Boom, won the gold medal for “Most Beautiful Book in the World” prize at the Leipzig Book Fair for this book.
