@Spencro

Fascinating. David Jones is a hole in my reading that I will now make sure to fill.

This Folio book seems to be an especially fine edition. Good to have both the Eliot and the Jones intros. I love the calligraphic illustrations by Ewan Clayton, reflecting and elevating the text in the most sympathetic manner. (My wife once participated in some of Clayton's workshops, so there's an extra connection for me.)

Not all the Folio editions appeal to me; in this one, illustrator and editor seem to have aligned perfectly with the author and the text.

any recommendations for modernist depictions of agriculture and food production?

i've included some example images below.

some keywords:
* mechanized agriculture
* industrial farming
* industrial food production
* farm as factory
* farm modernization
* chemical agriculture
* green revolution

i've got the following materials on my to-read list:

* "every farm a factory: the industrial ideal in american agriculture" by deborah fitzgerald
* Ch. 8 of "seeing like a state": "Taming Nature: An Agriculture of Legibility and Simplicity" by james c. scott
* "Farming according to 'the laws of beauty': Aesthetics and agriculture" by david cooper (https://www.academia.edu/14380031/Farming_according_to_the_laws_of_beauty_Aesthetics_and_agriculture)
* "the american technological sublime" by david nye (not sure if it has anything about agriculture specifically)
* "the machine in the garden: technology and the pastoral" by leo marx (update: i've now skimmed this work and it seems to be concerned with an earlier era, not the high modernist period)

if you're familiar with any written works looking at this kind of aesthetic specifically, i'd love to hear about it.

also, if you have suggestions for archives (online or irl) that might have more materials like this, i'm all ears.

Atacul asupra femeii în diferite aspecte Pre Scriptum, poate suna cam dur dar aş ruga să atrageţi atenţia la anumite elemente scoase în evidenţă de-a lungul textului, ceea ce vreau eu să scot la iveală e că femeia este ţinta anumitor schimbări care au început demult şi care riscă să ne facă să pierdem ceva… 👉 https://c.aparatorul.md/0lf23 👈 #emancipare #femeia #LaraZetkin #manipulare #modernism #ocnă #toleranţa #tv #ZeulEgalităţii

"The View Toward the City," Torsten Jovinge, 1930.

Jovinge (1898-1936) was a Swedish Modernist painter who had a brief but influential career.

He called his style "Purism" and was seen to be influenced by Cubism, with his use of colorful shapes in his work. But rather than distorting his subjects, or playing with perspective, he represents in his own way. He breaks them down into shapes but still retains some shading and texture.

His works were popular in his home country and were an influence on Swedish Modernism. He did a number of works set in various parts of Europe. He began painting and developed his style in the 1920s, traveling in Paris and other areas, and staying mostly in Sweden and Denmark in the 30s.

In 1936, he decided to travel to Morocco to paint, and during a stopover in Seville he was found shot to death in his hotel room. Spanish authorities, at the time caught up in the Spanish Civil War, claimed it was suicide, but the general agreement is that it was murder for unknown reasons.

"Morning Glory with Black," Georgia O'Keeffe, 1926.

American Modernist painter O'Keeffe (1887-1986) is still respected and hailed as one of the great American artists, while also becoming something of a joke over the interpretations of her work.

She embraced Modernism in 1915 and much of her later work depicted natural forms in extreme closeup, reducing them to mere depictions of line and pattern. She was influenced by photography, likely reflected by her relationship and difficult marriage with photographer Alfred Stieglitz.

Many interpreted her work as representations of female body parts, and jokes about that still circulate. But she denied the interpretations and once said, "I have always been very annoyed at being referred to as a 'woman artist' rather than an 'artist'." She never considered herself a feminist but was always involved in women's rights and is still revered as a groundbreaker for women in the arts.

Sister Wendy Beckett once said there was a paradox: women artists are often overlooked and not taken seriously...but at the same time, what does the sex of the artist matter?

Happy Flower Friday!

Why am I obsessing over a children's bunny? Because Miffy is accidentally revolutionary. She’s the love child of Dutch modernism. And honestly, looking at how this little rabbit has captivated the world for 70 years, I think her creator cracked the code.
