There is some missing that I can’t put my finger on.

I doodle from time to time. I am always hesitant to post them up, because they always seem awkward or lack a certain element.

Today we present: A Very Important Archival Document that speaks volumes about a past era.
Jules Olitski note to Joan Olitski, 1999. Jules Olitski notes to Joan Olitski, 1981-2004. Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
Yup, that Jules Olitski. Surprising that his Wikipedia page says NOTHING about his love of Judge Judy.
Good stuff

Believe it or not, these vibrant images are not silkscreened, instead they are examples of pochoir, a refined stencil-based printmaking technique popular in the late 19th century through the 1930’s originating in Paris.
From Kaleidoscope: Ornements Abstraits by Ad Verneuil (NK1535 .V47 Cage).

On May 13th, 2015, the Weltzheimer/Johnson House displayed an exhibition by the Oberlin College Book Art Collective. This six-student collective presented For Collecting, a collaborative semester-long book-making project that explored the act of collecting in three chapters: objects without sentiment, proof, and rituals of repetition. Each chapter, containing a compilation of responses to each of the themes by each student, contributed to a larger narrative of how the act of collecting imbues objects with value and meaning. The act of categorizing and curating actively highlights anomalies amongst similarities as collections bring together a variety of objects that may or may not be related on a surface level, but are defined as a unit according to the collector.
As compulsive collectors themselves, the students chose to display eight of the completed books from the edition of fifteen alongside a selection of personal items they had amassed, hoarded, and treasured over the years. As visitors sat and browsed through the books, multitudes built upon multitudes – compiled responses, compiled chapters, compiled objects, and conversation echoed off of the abundance of books and artifacts left behind by the Weltzheimer/Johnson House’s last owner, Ellen Johnson. Johnson, a celebrated art historian and professor of art at Oberlin College, was herself a compulsive collector of not only phenomenal works of art but also of beautiful artifacts she found during her extensive travels.
