Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman
1 recommendation
"I am a HUGE fan of Julius Shulman and this documentary is all about his ground breaking architectural photography. His images helped shape the careers of some of the greatest architects of the 20th Century: Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Pierre Koenig, John Lautner, and many others. I just got tickets to see this on Saturday, June 27th at the Los Angeles MOCA. When this is available on DVD I'l..."

The Melancholic Singer print by Joan Miró
1 recommendation
"This print demonstrates Miró's style in what I think of as his heyday, incorporating basic shapes with his familiar palette of colors. He was able to achieve a depth combined with whimsy that few of his contemporaries could rival. I would also add that a print like this omits added text with the artist's name and title of the work, or exhibition information, which in my opinion makes otherwise fin..."
Spirals and Petals, 1969 Serigraph by Alexander Calder
1 recommendation
"Alexander Calder is best known for making the mobile a valid art-form in the 20th Century, but he also made prints. This is an attractive serigraph that won't break the bank. It probably won't appreciate tremendously in value, but for the price, it beats the hell out of some shiny poster of impressionism. This one definitely shows the life-long influence of Joan Miró, and would match well with any..."
Pollock
1 recommendation
"Oh, Jackson Pollack. He was a man's man. Brooding and emotionally restrained. Wildly gestural, violently flinging his fluids from his brush all over the place, unapologetically. What a man! This is the story of Jackson pollack, the painter, the lover, the alcoholic, the kind of an a**hole."
Titanium Ring w/ 2 Continuous Lines
1 recommendation
"If you're looking for a ring with simple, clean lines, this is a good bet. The double groove gives the ring some style while staying pretty minimal. It's not going to jump out at you, but it's a great basic ring."
Jean-baptiste Mondino: Guitar Eros
1 recommendation
"Mondino presents his guitar photographs created over the past twenty years as commissioned works or his own projects. They portray famous rock and pop musicians such as Mick Jagger, Madonna, Tom Waits, and Keith Richards; models and celebrities with guitars; and numerous anonymous guitar players. Central subject and the undisputed star of each picture, however, is the guitar itself."
Wim Crouwel - Mode En Module
1 recommendation
"This capacious volume examines the life and work of Wim Crouwel (Groningen, 1928) who began his career in 1952 as a designer of stands and exhibitions but is now best-known as a graphic designer. It describes how, under the spell of modernism, architecture and Swiss typography, he decided to make design his profession. This led in 1963 to the founding of the influential design office whose name sa..."

"I'm addicted to, and in awe of, awesome stage design. You're making an entire world in a space not much larger than the average loft apartment. That takes real creativity and innovation. And it doesn't need to be iPod-friendly."

"If you're into futuristic and eco-conscious (aka, green) architecture, I'd rec this over that Lomme bed thing. In talking to my friend from Tokyo, one of the cultural differences that stuck out was the concept of 'myhome'. This is the idea is that you can one day have a place that is fully your own and that you can run yourself, sort of your ideal livingspace. The American dream has sort of b..."

Eames House
1 recommendation
"hmmm, someone should make this house in a collapsible form- completely furnished with reproduction Eames furniture- and made to fit perfectly as a kit into one sea-container. That way I could order one from the factory- and have it shipped directly to the site... I think the shipping container itself could end up forming the floor and roof of the building. A range of Mondrian colours would ..."
