Bulova Super Seville: look who's back

Bulova Super Seville: look who's back

I’ve long been enamored of a certain crowned watch with a fluted bezel. However, that wasn’t quite in the budget. Years back, though, I discovered that Bulova had one that was quite similar, done up with a square case to make things a bit different. Earlier this summer, they reissued the Bulova Super Seville.

Art Deco detail of ventilation grille in the Chanin Building, completed in 1929.

From the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts: Art Deco architecture and design and Precisionist painting and printmaking blossomed concurrently in the late 1920s and early 1930s; angular patterns, restrained color palettes, and pronounced linearity appear in both movements. A landmark of American Art Deco architecture, the Chanin Building was completed in 1929, rising fifty-six stories on the corner of East 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue in New York City. In this photograph, Andrew Bordwin highlights the building’s famous ventilation or convector grilles installed near the site’s three entrances. These vertically elongated grilles are bronze, but they appear silver in Bordwin’s black-and-white image. The ascending coils and rays themselves resemble skyscrapers, and Bordwin’s photograph demonstrates the lasting influence of Precisionist themes and aesthetics.

Charles Demuth

(1883 - 1935, American, Lancaster, Pennsylvania)

A larger-than-life figure who is remembered nearly as often for his wit as he is for his paintings, the bold and insatiably curious Charles Demuth wasn't just a product of America's transformative early-20th century; he was one of its archetypes. Demuth was a principal member of the Precisionist movement that emphasized sharp lines and clear geometric shapes. Challenging the boundaries of race, class, sexuality, and artistic tradition, he digested the shifting social landscape around him and left behind a memorable body of work that defies categorization.

Demuth's brilliance is in the way he emphasized distinct colors and shapes out of elements that are more often relegated to the background, such as the factory smoke in Incense of a New Church (1921), or that may be considered too dull or commonplace to paint at all, such as typography in I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold (1928). Some of these would go on to influence the design of movie and theater posters, book dust jackets, and other visual media for decades to come.

George Copeland Ault (1891–1948) American

Ault was trained in British Impressionism whose style was shaped by his interests in the avant-gardes, realism, and folk art. 

He became associated with Precisionists such as Charles Sheeler and Ralston Crawford, who had in common a prominent interest in architecture and the stark use of line, geometry, and planes of color. 

In Ault’s work, scenes of urban modernity and the nostalgic rural were captured and preserved in streamlined compositions of ordered shapes.

Title: Dancing Sailors

Artist: Charles Demuth

Year: 1918

Medium: watercolor and pencil

Poster’s note:

You’re getting your gay stuff early because I’m impatient. It’s surprisingly difficult to find gay male couples in historical art. Even more so than lesbians and trans people, for some reason. A lot of their depictions are outright sexual. While I don’t have a problem with that, I thought it’d be nice to have a different kind of depiction of gay love. There’s more coming soon.

Bing Image Creation with help on the prompt by ChatGPT.

Craft a Charles Demuth-inspired painting depicting a scene in a sailor bar with a focus on an exceptionally muscular sailor. Capture the unique style of Demuth by emphasizing geometric shapes, crisp lines, and a precisionist approach to form. The muscular sailor should be seamlessly integrated into the bustling atmosphere of the bar, surrounded by other sailors engaging in various activities. Pay attention to the details of the sailor's physique.

Charles Sheeler: Across Media

Charles Brock

University of California Press 2006

Published to accompany a traveling exhibition, this book is a very impressive retrospective of the work of Charles Sheeler (1883-1965). Examining Sheeler’s work by his various media—film, photography, commercial photography, mixed media, and photomontage—Across Media presents a glorious catalog of Sheeler’s beautiful abstractions of everything from the mundane (typewriters, his favorite stove, telephones) to his glorious monumental portraits of skylines and industrial factories. Tied to his fellow Precisionist contemporaries Charles Demuth and Paul Strand, to Edward Hopper by the lonely desolation of his cityscapes, and at times oddly reminiscent of Italian surrealist Georgio de Chirico, Sheeler’s modernist vision stands as a notable landmark of mid-century America.

MJ Describe Vs Clip-Interrogator 2.1

Describe and Clip Interrogator are both AIs that examine pictures and break them down into image prompts. The two approach the task from different intents, however, and using them is the best way to demonstrate. We'll start with "Natural Beauty", a style transfer piece I made a bit over a year ago.

To be extra-studious, I'll use the same seed on all of them, all gens made in Midjourney V5.

Clip Interrogator:

Prompt: a large tiger standing on top of a lush green field, inspired by Augustin Meinrad Bächtiger, deviantart contest winner, sumatraism, colorful intricate masterpiece, in a style blend of botticelli, highly detailed generative art, stained glass art, vibrant cartoon art, mountain, walk, 7 0 mm. digital art, much detail, devainart

Lengthy, detailed, prompt, with results that are kinda in the vibe. A few almost seem like they're made of fruit and plants like the original.

Midjourney Describe:

Describe gives four prompts per "ask" and re-rolls them (while Clip Interrogator seems to use a single seed).

Prompt: tiger is walking around through a forest in a colorful drawing, in the style of intricate textures, vibrant cartoonish --ar 3:2

Prompt: a tiger with colorful balloons and flowers in its body, in the style of intricate psychedelic landscapes, organic texture, flickr, abstracted nature, furry art, colorful comic strips, intricate landscapes --ar 3:2

Prompt: eloe zoe's new book 'tiger psychedelic tiger', in the style of digital painting, pointillist landscapes, digitally enhanced, colored cartoon style, david choe, anna dittmann, saturated color fields --ar 3:2

Prompt: tiger walking in the grass in background, in the style of intricate psychedelic landscapes, colorful caricature, large canvas sizes, digital art wonders, commission for, precisionist art, digital art techniques --ar 3:2

From the results, you can see the difference. Clip Interrogator is, arguably, closest in style and tone to the original. Midjourney's results have more "chaos" in them, and are clearly intended to be more for iterating new semi-related variants of a concept rather than imitating directly, which keeps with the specific design of a lot of MJ's features.

The images autogenerated for this post are in the public domain, as they do not meet the threshold for minimum human expression. I've put them all in their own post here.
