Your art history post for today: The Annunciation, 1637, woodcut by an unknown Chinese artist, Jinjiang Church, Fujian Province, China, based on an engraving by Hieronymus Wierix (1553–1619), this impression in the collection of Minneapolis Institute of Art. #arthistory #printmaking #christmas

From the website:

For the most part, the Chinese woodblock cutters faithfully reproduced the original engravings, adopting many of the European pictorial conventions. Mary's prie-dieu, for example, appears convincingly three-dimensional, though the room behind her lacks depth. Reminiscent of Chinese art, the swirling clouds are described with bold calligraphic lines, to wonderful effect.”

From the website: “These illustrations, one time accompanied by Chinese text, are based on Jerome Nadal's “Images from the Gospels” (Antwerp, 1593), a sumptuously illustrated Latin treatise produced at the instigation of Saint Ignatius Loyola. The images are emblems, with key elements notated and explained in turn. For example, A represents God's declaration of Christ's incarnation, and B shows the angel Gabriel delivering the news to Mary. At the far right, D marks Mary's house in Loreto, which became a pilgrimage site promoted by the Jesuits. (According to legend, angels carried Mary's house from Nazareth to the Italian town of Loreto in 1291.) Creation is depicted in the small vignette in the sky marked F, and the Crucifixion, as explained in note G, reminds the viewer of Christ's redemptive sacrifice.

A linocut print, printed in two colours: It shows a landscape at night. In between the hills you see two villages and at the bottom of the image a driving car. This part is printed in a dark green ink. The top part is the night sky, with a character sitting in the hills with at his or her feet a basket with stars. Carefully, they are putting the stars in the sky. This part is printed in blue, a mix between cyan and ultramarine.A composed image of four photos in a grid: The left two are the actual lino cuts of the two parts of the final image. On the right you see on the bottom the first colour printed, the dark green landscape. On the top right you see the final image with the second colour, the blue printed on top of the green.

i love doing lino prints! since each print is done by hand, they’re all a little bit unique, and i think that’s neat. it’s such a fun, special medium.

(also i get to use sharp objects to make them, nyeheheheheh)

Day 11 #ArtAdventCalendar: Happy birthday to trailblazing US #astronomer Annie Jump Cannon (1863 – 1941), here with her stellar classification system which sorted stars based on spectral types, revealing their temperature from hot blue to cool red stars: O,B,A, F, G, K & M. Named the Harvard Classification after the university, her tremendous contribution was less visible. 🧵

#printmaking #womenInSTEM #histsci #DisabledInSTEM #linocut #mastoArt

My linocut of Annie Jump Cannon shows her in a 3/4 profile view wearing a shirt with a lace collar and her hair up. She is printed in a gradient of violet at the bottom to green at the top, printed on white 11” x 14” paper. The background is printed in a gradient (left to right) of dark blue, light blue, yellow, pale yellow, pale orange, orange and red. The background block excludes her silhouette of shoulder and head with the exception of a smattering of small dots in a swath from upper left to lower right (which extends to white spots on the coloured background). Also along the bottom are a series of circles of decreasing size (left to right, blue through red) labelled O, B, A, F, G, K, M. There’s a axis line along the bottom with 6 tick marks. Vertically from top to bottom along the left side are 15-, 10-, 5-, 0, 5, 20, 15.

Day 11 #artAdventCalendar The loggerhead shrike, endemic to North America, is also known as the butcherbird for its carnivorous tendencies and habit of ostentatiously displaying stored prey dramatically impaled on convenient spikes like tree thorns or barbed wire. Its usual prey are insects, amphibians, lizards, small birds or small mammals. 🧵

As described, my linocut print on 11”x 14” paper with a deckle edge shows a loggerhead shrike perched on a dark burgundy thorny honey locust branch on which a 4-winged small pollination drone is impaled. The signed print is titled “Loggerhead Shrike Will Impale but not eat drones”

Happy birthday to Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), who published the first computer program. She worked together with Charles Babbage, the inventor of the Difference Engine and the Analytical Engine (the first computers), correcting his notes on how to calculate Bernoulli Numbers with the Analytical Engine. 🧵⠀

As described, my linocut print shows Lady Ada, based on engravings made during her lifetime, printed in purple, before gears of the Charles Babbage Analytical Engine, based on one of his blueprints, printed in bronze. Depicted around the gears are equations relating how to calculate Bernoulli Numbers.

Day 10 #artAdventCalendar A piece for Manufactured Ecosystems about the future of pollination about who decides what gets pollinated if humans and our devices are the only pollinators.

The definition of “weed” is usually pretty arbitrary and usually all sorts of native plants get caught up in our human biases. Milkweed is insanely popular with the pollinators in my garden and 🧵

My linocut print on Arches paper with a deckle edge shows a common milkweed plant on collaged washi papers in green and plum overprinted with magenta sans serif text “WE’RE NOT WEEDS” with the Robobee pollination drone in black on an angle inside the O. The little drone is a vertical shaft with a dot and two wings at the top and a tripod at the bottom.

I'm super excited to share the video of my new woodcut---And painfully aware how hypocritical it is; that I stayed up too late working on it so I could share it with you,

Wishing you all sweet dreams!

I used to run a print studio in a historic log cabin from the 1700s---the pandemic turned life upside down, and I had to close it.

Now I'm printing in a newer location (1800's), and needed some art to decorate a blank space on the wall, so I revived some designs from the log cabin days

the Log Cabin Print Shop is dead--Long live the Log Cabin Print Shop!!!

Photographers, printmakers:
I have simple tools for making polaroid transfers (standard film pack size). In Toronto. Yours if you'll pick it up or pay shipping. Ping me for photos. I may even have instructions from the course I took.
Please share with folks who might be interested!

#printmaking #photography #PolaroidLift #polaroidart #Polaroiders

4 of my polaroid transfer prints on cotton rag watercolour paper. Early 1990s. Clockwise from top left: ▪ Road to Christ in the Desert monastery, along the Rio Chama, Abiquiu, NM. ▪ Adobe courtyard and sky, Taos, NM. ▪ Turquoise sky, white clouds, mountain and trees, reflected in rippling water, NM. ▪ Looking up: classic twisted staircase to 2nd floor front balcony, on a century-old stone-fronted duplex, Montreal. I suspect the sepia-toned are shot on black-and-white film and printed with a filter on colour polaroid film. Filters are included in my box of tools.

Happy birthday to #mathematician & #computerscientist US Navy rear admiral Grace Hopper (1906-1992) who popularized the revolutionary idea of developing machine-independent programming languages based on English.

Day 9 #artAdventCalendar my linocut of 4 Nixie tubes spelling the word “Neon” on lovely Japanese paper, 8” x 8”.

Nixie tubes , also known as or cold cathode display, are electronic devices used for displaying letters or numerals or other information using glow discharge. Introduced in 1955, they are prized today for their vintage aesthetics. Inside a glass tube, there’s a wire-mesh honeycomb-shaped anode,🧵

My 8” x 8” Lino block print ‘Nixie Tubes’ on Japanese paper shows 4 Nixie tubes in a row spelling ‘Neon’. Each glass tube is printed in silver and looks like a cylinder with a top like an onion dome. Inside the tubes you can see some hardware for holding the anode and cathodes shaped to produce alphanumeric characters. On top of this is a reddish orange rectangle, a black honeycomb mesh anode and shadow round the base of the tubes and in bright pale orange the letters N, e, o, and n on the series of tubes.
