I recently visited the Harry Bertoia exhibition and found his works amazing. Bertoia learned welding at Santa Monica City College in California in the late 1940s, and immediately began to experiment in his personal evening time. Wire and platform sculptures were his first attempts. These evolved into panels and screens, which led to his early public pieces. He discovered that light would perform wonderful dances if enough space was left between the metal shapes.

A Modernist: August 2014
http://amodernist.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2014. Print ad, Brooks Brothers Clothing,. New Yorker magazine, 1940. The emergence/re-emergence/codification of what is now know as Ivy League Style. Has increased significantly over the past decade due in a great part to the Internet.

Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Patterns in Jazz by Gil Melle, Blue Note 12" LP 1517, 1956, cover design by Reid Miles. I know. I can hear it now.

A Modernist: Chipp (1953)
http://amodernist.blogspot.com/2015/05/chipp-1953.html
Friday, May 1, 2015. Every so often an item pops up on eBay that somehow needs to be preserved. I am not necessarily talking about museum pieces, but rather curios that folks cut from a certain cloth just are interested in - or rather should be. Gentry magazine, late-1952. Purloined from The Ivy League Look. The Chipp story is well documented elsewhere, particularly in this Ivy Style piece. So what should be said about this particular example of Chipp's handiwork? May 3, 2015 at 3:42 PM. Yes indeed. ...

A Modernist: San Francisco (1957)
http://amodernist.blogspot.com/2014/12/san-francisco-1957.html
Friday, December 5, 2014. Market Street, October 1957, photographer unknown. This 1957 photo is just one of many wonderful found images that will be on display today through Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at Glass Key Photo. 442 Haight Street, San Francisco. The owners are avid collectors of vintage slides and this exhibit just represents the tip of their proverbial iceberg. They were kind enough to engage me to partner in this year's selection of the images under my Vintage San Francisco. The Ivy League Look.
