Whence did the Mystic...by William Massey / Moore, Suzanne., 1993

 Item
Identifier: CC-06360-6477
Scope and Contents Internet: Suzanne Moore is a printmaker, painter and lettering artist whose eclectic interests fuse in the diversity of her artists' books. Born to a family of gifted inventor-engineers and raised in post-Sputnik middle-America, her aptitudes in math and science channeled her into those areas at an early age. She made her way into the world of art at 20-something, and earned a BFA in Printmaking and Drawing in Wisconsin. Suzanne melds word and painted image with form, content and structure into spaces which invite the reader to engage, examine and inquire. Her books blend distinctive design, color use and surface treatments with textual content and contemporary lettering to create work that obscures the line between word and image, legibility and abstraction.The physical, sensual and architectural aspects of books and the musical/rhythmic, sequential, unfolding narratives of bookworks are a multi-dimensional parallel to the way imagery and letterforms move across surfaces.

Where Are They Now? (The Class of Forty-Seven) / Phillips, Tom ; McHugh, Heather ; Minsky R., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-04818-4910
Scope and Contents

The book is based upon Phillips' collaged portraits of classmates attending his primary school, which was exhibited in London at the National Portrait Gallery in 1988. Phillips sent copies of 31 images to the American Seattle poet, Heather McHugh, who composed a poem for each portrait. Phillips then interpreted the poems in the style of "A Humument." His new text sometimes reaffirms and other times contradicts the poet's intrerpretation of the pictures. The collage, conventional poem and visual poem were printed by Minsky on the same page using Richard de Bas paper, a computer, and a Canon BJ-130 inkjet printer. This copy is the only one that contains the 31 images and poems handcolored by Phillips. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
