Craig needed an ATM on the way to the car wash, so we stopped at the midcentury modern classic BoA in downtown Palm Springs.
PS takes its midcentury heritage very seriously (Modernism Week each year brings 100,000 visitors.)
The 1959 Bank of America building has undergone a total renovation, and looks fabulous.

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.

Rebuilding Shared Meaning in a Fragmented World
A lot of our current mess can be understood through the long transition from #modernism to #postmodernism. Not as an academic debate, but as a lived reality. Modernity was about progress. It believed that society could be understood, improved, and consciously shaped. Science, democracy, planning, industry, public institutions, trade unions, education, and infrastructure were all part of this path. The future was something people could build together. Of course, this vision was never as […]https://hamishcampbell.com/rebuilding-shared-meaning-in-a-fragmented-world/

"Costume Design (Androcles and the Lion)," Florine Stettheimer, c. 1912.
Stettheimer (1871-1944) was a poet, designer, artist, feminist, and intellectual, with a highly individual style of Modern art.
In 1912, she began to create an opera, which she titled "Orphée des Quat'z Arts," inspired by an annual ball held by Paris art students that combined an excuse to party with a chance to show off their works. They were always masquerades built around some annual theme, and were known for scandalous behavior.
Stettheimer designed costumes, sets, and a libretto for the opera, but it was never produced. However, her costume designs were some of her earliest modernist works that prefigured today's mixed-media art.
Here we have Androcles, riding the lion, only the lion is on a wheeled cart, like a huge toy. The rider, though is interesting; the costume bits are made of cloth and cellophane, and the lion's collar is lace. Stettheimer was fascinated by cellophane, then a new material, and used it a few decades later when designing costumes for Gertrude Stein's opera "Four Saints in Three Acts."
From the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

But in the climbing ecstasy of thought,
Ere consummation, ere the final peak,
Come hours like this…—Nan Shepherd, “Summit of Coire Etchachan”

“In Shepherd’s writing… true learning—like hill-walking—is arduous. True knowledge of the mountains is only possible through the suffering of the body brought on through the relentless motion of the feet.”

"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.

"Autumn," Franklin Carmichael, 1940.
Carmichael (1890-1945) was part of Canada's famous Group of Seven, an art movement dedicated to creating a uniquely Canadian art based on direct contact with nature.
Born into a middle-class family, Carmichael studied art both in Canada and in Europe, but with a group of his friends found it frustrating to attempt to address their land's wilderness with a European sensibility. Forming the Group of Seven, they modeled themselves after the sensibilities of Scandinavian painters, who in their words "started with nature rather than art." Confronting nature and depicting it with a fairly modernist style became a Group of Seven trademark, and the same holds true for Carmichael.
He painted a lot in watercolors, but also in oils, and supplemented his income with work as a commercial designer and printmaker.
Here we have an autumn landscape, representational and somewhat realistic, but instead of depicting the texture of the trees on the hills, it's just bands of color. But it gets the point across nicely.
He died young, of a heart attack, but he remains a significant figure in Canadian art history.
From the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg.

For nearly 80 years after O’Keeffe’s MoMA retrospective, the museum didn’t pay her much attention. Now, it's refocusing on her penchant for repeating images as a “serial practice"—by pushing her motifs toward abstraction or exploring different materials. But does MoMA really need to reestablish O'Keeffe's Modernist bonafides?

Who the heck bought all of that mid-century furniture when it was new, anyway? Hyperallergic takes a look. (Hint: most of the modern designers were male & white.) More complex, the meaning of these designs can be found in how the designs were advertised, how they were used to advertise other products, and how they appeared in the media. https://hyperallergic.com/639763/mid-century-modernism-racial-history/?fbclid=IwAR1dKE4Ll6m2-vzYWOAM4QfCioXa4lwTo8lCAjM6tHlmi0vOXug3cmbdU78

Absolutely love this from @Uniformbooks
I'm always excited by stuff that commemorates humdrum provincial locations, and Ian Waites does this wonderfully. The restrained tone is what does it - reminiscence should avoid self-indulgence - and the image repro is stunning.
