These issues show some gorgeous art. The Art Competitions show art by students--a splendid variety with a high level of skill. Art Talent Available showcases the art of accomplished students seeking work. Trumpets for Teachers share favorite stories from art teachers on their experiences.
Sample Q and A from Taubes:
Q. Not long ago I listened to a lecture by a well known art critic who drew a parallel between the French painter David and Mondrian, without elaborating on it. Could you do it for me?
A. The only parallel I can think of is that the first was a good neo-classicistic hack and the second an inept tile setter. And what of the art critic? As usual, when looking at pictures he keeps his eyes tightly closed, while dreaming up some horrendous abracadabra.
Springfield THERMOMETER BAROMETER in Rowboat, Orig Box! - eBay (item 310097020753 end time Nov-06-08 20:08:48 PST)This wooden boat with marine-style round thermometer and barometer is still in the original box and shrink wrap. The box is marked, "Springfield Precision Instruments Decorative Weather Center. The natural choice."
It's marked, "©2000 Springfield Precision Instrument, Inc. Wood made in China. Instruments made in USA. Assembled in U.S.A."
The sticker on the bottom front says, "Weather instruments are designed to rotate for realignment and may shift during shipment, simply adjust to your preference." Both instruments are sideways at the moment.
The boat is secured to the box back with two screws and washers. Somehow that didn't prevent a crack in the face of the barometer, shown in the fourth photo, and a close-up in the last photo. The sides of the boat are white with hunter green trim.
Vintage SNUGGLE TEDDY BEAR 1986 Russ Plush Ad Character - eBay (item 310095937379 end time Nov-27-08 16:46:27 PST)This official Snuggle teddy bear is cute, soft and um, snuggly. The butt tag front says, "Snuggle™ ©1986 Lever Brothers Company, All Rights Reserved." The back says, "Russ Berrie & Co., Inc., Oakland, N.J. All New Material Synthetic Fibers. PA Reg. No. 259. X-32. Item No. 3146 Made in Korea 3701."
He's world famous for advertising Snuggle fabric softener. Made of cream colored plush, he's been around awhile but still looks good!
THE MOVIES Richard Griffith, Arthur Mayer Photo History - eBay (item 310095675794 end time Nov-01-08 20:18:57 PDT)This copy of The Movies by Richard Griffith and Arthur Mayer is a "Revised and updated edition of the classic history of American motion pictures." It's marked Copyright 1957, 1970 by Arthur Mayer and The Estate of Richard Griffith.
It's a big, fat soft cover book with so many wonderful photos it was hard to choose just a few samples to show you. This book was so popular, it's the fourth printing of the paperback version.
