Boston Public Library's Travel Posters

Almost every public library has a strong online presence, and city library sites are normally spectacular. Boston Public Library has some collections on flickr, including 351 travel posters from the 1920s and 1940s, when the average person could seriously travel if he wanted because of railways, luxurious ocean liners, and good highways. "Travel agents and ticket offices during this period were festooned with vivid, eye-catching posters, all designed to capture the beauty, excitement and adventure of travel." Now these same posters make nostalgic and artistic statements about a time long gone.

Dragon Bookends

Mr. Otero made these for me. Aren't you jealous?

 

Women in Art

Mr. Otero forwarded this video to me on Friday afternoon. I thought it was creepy and mesmerizing.

Cooking Comically

Yesterday afternoon, Zak Wohlschlegel showed me a site that showcases what I love about the web. Cooking Comically is a blog that includes instructions for cooking good food, inventive photographs, whimsical art, and clever commentary to tie it all together. Tyler Capps is the artist. 

Editorial Cartoons

Johannes Vermeer

Essential Vermeer is a complete overview of the life, work and artistic setting of the 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. . . done very, very well. 

BTW, if you find Saint Praxedis in your attic, don't burn it. They don't know where it is, and it would be worth a pretty penny if it turned up.
