 Mark Shaw photograph of John Kennedy Jr.

Mark Shaw was the unofficial family photographer to the Kennedy family, this photograph from 1963, was a favorite of Jackie’s; in a letter to Mark Shaw, she wrote “they really should be in the National Gallery!… the one of John, reflected in the table, like some wonderful, strange, poetic Matisse.” John, affectionately known as John John was three years old. His recent birthday, November 25th 1960, brings thoughts of his unfulfilled promise. In this photograph he is forever suspended in reflection.

the Nantucket baskets

"We drew simplicity from Jackie Kennedy. She had a very complex life but a very simple, refined aesthetic, from her shift dresses to her Nantucket baskets and daisies, which are simple flowers but were her favorite. We took the Nantucket basket and the daisies and crafted them together to make something that was very feminine."
(from  Charlotte Moss)

The Muse Collection by Charlotte Moss. Redecorating the White House, hosting state dinners and picnics in Nantucket… Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis left an enduring legacy that continues to inspire us today. The Nantucket Collection is decorated on cocoa beige and white enamel with delicate hand painted daisy chains and intricate shading on the basket weave.(from the Halcyon Days site)

I AM NATURALLY CURIOUS about PAULE

.

PAULE MARROT made her debut at NATURAL CURIOSITIES this season! French textile artist,painter, engraver, teacher. Paule Marrot's work was celebrated at NATURAL CURIOSITIES with the introduction of wonderfully large reproductions of her fabric design sketches and patterns. Paule Marrot's life in art was influenced by Impressionist Auguste Renoir and Fauvist Raoul Dufy. Billy Baldwin and Jacqueline Kennedy American style makers both- loved Marrot's fabrics.

Natural Curiosities recently acquired the beautiful textile archives of.. Paule Marrot (1902-1987).  Early in her career, Marrot shifted her emphasis from painting to textiles to create expressive patterns from the 1920s through the 1950s.  Marrot’s bold use of flowers, color and patterns reflect a compositionally modernist style classically associated with the Art Deco movement. Marrot’s artistic influences include the expressive writings of Marcel Proust, as evident in her work Du coté de chez Swann, based on Proust’s book In Search of Lost Time. from theNATURAL CURIOSITIES site.

All the Marrot works are large most 42" x 54" making the series captivating and joyous. I loved seeing them en masse. It would be hard to choose just one.

& in detail

 

“You paint with your heart the flowers of the fields, 

love, youth, the seasons, everything that is wonderful in life,”

Andre Arbus

Several years ago Brunschwig and Fils introduced a PAULE MARROT Collection. Marrot designed the B&F selected prints in the 30's, 40's and 50's in Paris. In 1945 Marrot brought her French collection to America. Jacqueline Kennedy designed a living room around Paule's LES TULIPES COTTON PRINT. I must search out my design books for a picture of this room.

Do peruse the works on the NATURAL CURIOSITIES site & see the color and impact the Marrot collection makes. My photographs- are a real injustice to Madame-but I was in a MAD RUSH. This was the highlight of Market for me. NATURAL CURIOSITIES always takes a modern approach to their art. By taking many images from the past and presenting them on a large scale- they completely change the message of a photograph or print. Last market I purchased several of their original antique prints & my friend and business partner purchased two LARGE pieces from their OCEANA Seaweed Collection here

THE FAME GAME 15 minutes OR more

the Warhol foundation has arranged for some 610 sealed boxes from Warhol's TIME CAPSULE collection to be archived over the next 6 years. The archivists start a blog on the some highlight in the capsule in September. Read about it here.

Just unearthed, a photograph of Jackie MONTAUK

I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.

in the future Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes-

forWarhol FAME was a Game

for Jackie. FAME was Fame

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.

I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is "In 15 minutes everybody will be famous."
I like boring things.
When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships.

warhol's 16 jackies

from Evil Monito

It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger.

I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.

Once you 'got' Pop, you could never see a sign again the same way again. And once you thought Pop, you could never see America the same way again.
