@IneluctableQuak Have you read Springer’s Progress or Going Down?

[percy @madpenguin33]

@saintsoftness I started learning German so I could go deeper into this and Bildwissenschaft stuff but I’m not sure I’m there yet

[percy @madpenguin33]

@saintsoftness I have never really developed a proper argument and not a materialist one but mining seems like an appropriate thread. I’ve seen them as gnarly, maybe harrowing emblems of the imagistic pursuit of knowledge or truth or whatever. A surface to get under the surface if you will

@saintsoftness I like Bredekamp but I haven’t read that one yet

[percy @madpenguin33]

@saintsoftness I also think that Dürer’s style and personality basically does this to all his recurring motifs. He takes from Schongauer the rocks and plants in the foreground or the city in the rear and his attention amplifies them in so many dimensions

@saintsoftness If you have a good reference I’d love to look

[percy @madpenguin33]

@saintsoftness Absolutely agree, way more than compositional convenience. A less common but tangent device I’m also fond of are the root systems, sometimes emerging from rocky crags.

@ContraPoints James Barry!

[percy @madpenguin33]

For I am every dead thing,
In whom love wrought new alchemy.
For his art did express
A quintessence even from nothingness,
From dull privations and lean emptiness
He ruined me, and I am re-begot
Of absence, darkness, death; things which are not.

-John Donne

@saintsoftness Always a good day to reference Dürer, but today especially with watercolor and the first hints of spring!

Look, in the midst of what feels like civilisational collapse, at this extraordinary watercolour – of a dream – by Albrecht Durer.

@chlueyy This is a devious beginning

@_ryanruby_ Broch described Die Schlafwandler as a “poly-historical novel” and Kundera wrote about revising this to the “polyphonic novel”. Thankfully they were not plugged into the various subcultures of Brooklyn

@FedeItaliano76 Desmazières is so cool. Love this and wonder if you’ve seen his Registre de Boulanger
