Mann, macht das Spass
2013-10-30
Über Malerei zu reden ist ja nicht nur sehr schwierig, sondern vielleicht sogar sinnlos. Weil man immer nur das in Worten fassen kann, was in Worten zu fassen geht, was mit der Sprache möglich ist. Und damit hat ja eigentlich Malerei nichts zu tun. ... Dass Malen nicht nur ein ästhetisches Problem ist, dass nicht nur darum geht, schöne Bilder zu malen, was ja vielleicht gar nicht so schwer ist.
Today I saw Corinna Belz's 2011 documentary on Gerhard Richter. It started uncomfortably slow, but then something happened halfway through the movie. I really did not wanted it to end anymore. When Richter says how much he enjoys painting, it is such a great moment.

Can we please buy a knitting factory? II
2013-10-27
Japanese Shima Seiki machines are used nowadays to do intarsia, but according to Mike Caven, who gained 40 years' experience working by hand at Caerlee, it's not the same. “ A Shima can work with around 30 colours, but with hand intarsia the number of colours is infinite.

Mudsilk
2013-10-21
Mud silk originates from the Ming dynasty (~1406 AD). It gets its name from the dyeing process, where the fabric is soaked in layers of mud and dyed in pure yam juice and grass. The mud silk manufacturing process is purely manual and extremely labor intensive, altogether needing 14 procedures. This process makes its quantity very limited. The fabric is actually rolled in mud from the bottom of a river to achieve the color, patina, and almost buttery texture for that you see in our products. The material is then exposed to sunlight 30-40 hours creating varied and stunning tortoise-shell patterns in a fabric that is both elegant and durable. Mud silk is valued for its timeless beauty, and it is the finest silk fabric currently available.
I bumped into this beautiful fabric today, in downtown Amsterdam. Its fragmented beauty gave me chills. Apparently it is a very rare fabric and its traditional way of making is a dissappearing craft in modern China.

Blow
2013-10-20
I remember sitting with her at the final round of couture shows before she died. She looked so tired and depressed that I asked her what was wrong. “I think I will have to commit suicide,” she said. “Oh, Issy, don’t say that,” I replied. She took my hand and said, “But not until after couture.”
Beautiful article from Colin McDowell on Isabella Blow on BOF. Particularly the last bit. |

Freja Beha Erichsen portrays Asta Nielsen, star of German cinema in the 1910's and 1920's, in an editorial for German Vogue. Shot by Karl Lagerfeld, October 2009.
Both in her appearance and style she was very different than the norm back then, was her time way ahead. A modernist movie icon.
