edward hopper a go-go

above: fendi commercial visual (horrible execution – terrible wall paint job) i doubt if karl had much to do with this, or i’m majorly disappointed, again.
old images from “the face” with a young bookish giesel as envisioned by photographer karen collins roughly 8 years ago (with a better paint job, better girl, and better lighting!)
and of course the original edward hopper version ripped off on both… by pp+dd

terence koh loves and loved by converse

this may not be new news, as i believe these special edition all-white-leather hightop all stars from converse by terence koh came out in march, but i still had to share. a minimalist rendition of the classic. shoes feature a square back, seamless edges, super smoothed body, and crisp leather laces. a percentage of the purchase is contributed to the 1hund(red) campaign to fight aids in africa. and only $150, and only available in white. oh right, and if you want, you can order them here. by kl

Bas Jan Ader : PITFALL ON THE WAY TO A NEW NEO-PLASTICISM




i love when art is simple, and about the thought, action and discovery more than just the execution, and this is why bas jan ader is one of my all time favorites. above you see him bring the theory of neoplasticism into his modern day… the belief that art should not be the reproduction of real objects, but the expression of the absolutes of life, and what is more important to discovery than the absolutes of life?

establishing in the 1910’s, the original neoplasticists were piet mondrian and theo van doesburg. they believed that the only absolutes of life were vertical and horizontal lines and the primary colors. to this end neoplasticists only used planar elements and the colors red, yellow, and blue. thank goodness this perspective evolved off of the canvas, and surely brought us conceptual art. by kl
