Dear Everyone:

I get particularly thrilled by

encountering art that surrounds

the viewer.

French artist Jean Dubuffet

did such an installation in the early

1970's entitled Closerie Falbala

as seen in World of Interiors

March 2010.

This installation is an

architectural sculpture

made of concrete and marked by

graffitti-like lines of black

on white with blue and red areas.

Apparently the lines are created

by allowing in drawing the

pencil to wander in an automatic way.

The 3-D installation allows

the viewer to walk into it and through it.

There are large walls, different heights

to allow for seating and a central

antechamber structure.

Outside Paris it is available

for private viewings.

Hope that you enjoy this

glimpse of this important

artwork.

Helen.

Fashion image II

vogueamangirijan.2010


I picked up a copy of American Vogue.
The January, 2010 issue.
The most striking image was of a model
in the Utah desert wearing a coral
Yves St. Laurent dress and on her
head a tumbleweed crown.
The tumbleweed was found at
the locale.The coral colour references
to me the red soil and cliffs of the region.

The more I read fashion magazines
like Vogue the more I appreciate
the art installation-like feature
articles and coverage of clothes and locales.



To my mind this image taken at the
Amangiri spa and resort could easily hold
its own hung in an art gallery. And
that is what appeals to me about it.



Hope you enjoy this image.



Helen.
