    really like how the tree in the foreground sets the darkest level and the succession of dark and light, really rainy and wet. Folks are still out in the boats, we keep going

  7. Sister Giotto

    The Sagrada, Sunday, December 14 at 04:00 PM MST

    A Gallery of Vintage Design on Instagram: "New exhibit: the work of Giotto Moots In the 1960s Moots brought the sacred arts to Albuquerque, NM. After working as an art school dean in Italy through the mid century she set her heart on the deserts of the American Southwest. By working with famed architect Antoine Predock to create artist residences and a hundful of Domican nuns to handmake thousands of adobe bricks to build Our Lady of Guadalupe chapel, a vibrant art school campus emerged. The location, now called Patio Escondido is a registered historic site. Filled with community, intention and care, the spirit of Sagrada Art Studio lives on. We are delighted to celebrate a homecoming. Join us for a special showcase of Giottos handcarved blockprint artwork and understand the iconography that inspired her.

  9. Fuck the Border Art Show

    Mothership Gallery, Friday, October 3 at 06:00 PM MDT

    Samuel POLLO Sisneros on Instagram: ""F*ck The Border Art Show is a collection of Woodblock prints from artists in Oaxaca, Oaxaca. This artistic movement began in 2006, a creative outlet in the aftermath of political unrest as APPO, ‘la Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca’, responded to governments’ arrest and violence against professors. This moment changed Oaxacan politics forever, and allowed print-making, which at that time was only taught in the university, to explode onto the streets. Using bold mark-making and iconography, these prints now have a life of their own, demanding the viewer to think critically about the world around us. Now, we are honored to present a small portion of this revolutionary art form, which highlights the importance of standing up for what is right. These works are visually-rich, thematically intriguing, and serve as a spark to light the fire in each and every one of us.""

  11. Some of my octopus art to celebrate the cephalopods this World Octopus Day! Most recently I made the dumbo octopus, a charming Grimpoteuthis octopus, one of a genus of pelagic cirrate (finned) octopods known as the dumbo octopuses. The fins reminded scientists of ears on the elephant in Disney’s 1941 film Dumbo. Hence their common name dumbo octopuses.

  18. By Hashimoto Okiie (1899-1993), Girl and Irises, 1952, woodblock print. Being a print, it appears in more than one collection. #Art #arthistory #japan #JapanArt #japaneseart #woodblock

    Information on the artist from The British Museum: “Hashimoto was born in Tottori Prefecture and graduated in 1924 as an art teacher from the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. He worked as a school-teacher from 1924 until 1955 and produced art in his spare time. After that he retired from teaching and began a full-time career as an artist. As a young man he pursued oil-painting but took up prints in 1936 as a result of attending Hiratsuka Un'ichi's short course in woodblock printing in Tokyo. He remained a close friend of Hiratsuka's from then on and participated in his various activities, such as the Yoyogi-ha group and the wartime print collection 'Kitsutsuki hangashu' (1943). He first exhibited at the Japanese Print Association show in 1937. He contributed to the last Ichimoku-kai collection in 1950 and from that time began to be better known, especially after appearing in Statler's 'Modern Japanese Prints: An Art Reborn' (1956). Much of his work before and after the Pacific War was devoted to Japanese castles and gardens, including the series 'Kojo jukei' ('Ten Views of Old Castles', 1946), but he also produced floral and figure subjects in his later career.”

  23. This is a spectacularly bad artwork attachment for a #Japanese #Woodblock I bought.

    I knew it would be attached something like this because the frame it came in was so cheap

    For a print this size two small paper hinges are needed which will allow the artwork to expand if it needs to and attachments should always be adhered to the back, not the front. I'd also make the attachments using Japanese paper. Self adhesive tape shouldn't be used
