What's Rhode Island up to these days? Anything interesting? I don't think I've ever met anyone from there, leading me to assume the entire state exists as a location for RISD

that post about how Google Images results are now flooded with garbage AI, making it a horrible sewage trap for artists who just want to find useful reference photos, made me sad, but it also led me on a little walk down memory road that ended in a pleasant discovery. when I went to college, which was before Google Images existed, the art school nearby had an amazing archive of hard-copy reference images -- literally hundreds of thousands of physical images of people and objects and animals and places, collected from magazines, postcards, books, etc, that you could browse in and even borrow from. it was amazing.

and it turns out, much to my delight, that it still exists and is being actively maintained.

they are gathered in folders with titles such as: Advertising, Arms & Armor, Costume, Dentistry, Drag Queens, Explosions, Ghost Towns, Hopper, Maps, Mesopotamia, Microscopy, Seeds & Seedpods, Textures, and many more. The collection is continually updated with new images and all material circulates for a loan period of four weeks.

The Subject Files cover people, places, objects, design, fashion, buildings, nature, and concepts. Research a time period by looking at subjects that are subdivided chronologically, such as Automobiles, Costume, Family Life, Advertising, Furniture, Interiors, Houses, Street Scenes, and U.S. History. The collection covers many decades, from the 19th century to the present day, and contains many images that you won't find on the internet, and they all circulate!

Matthew Bird, professor at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), gives an hour's lecture on the Art Nouveau. This entire lecture series on the history of industrial design is absolutely worth your time.

I could no longer play, Providence, Rhode Island, Gelatin silver Estate print (1977) by Francesca Woodman

Francesca Woodman did not receive the recognition her work warranted and subsequently died at a young age. Influences range from the photographers Man Ray, Duane Michals and Deborah Turbeville to André Breton, writer and poet.

A once-in-a-generation talent graduates with high honors from a world famous art institute. Her family couldn't be more proud, as she's also a first-generation student.

I painted this to commemorate and express the tremendous loss and grief I felt 42 years ago when John Lennon was assassinated. The underlying collage was made of print media such as Time and Rolling Stone magazines, and the dancing figures fall from the sky like a must of tears.

“A Day In The Life” acrylic and collage on canvas, 74”x40” available.
