tipografia sicilia #3
visiting foreign countries is a good opportunity to catch up on unusual type combinations & letters that we don’t use much, italy for example, is a great place for the letter z (even zz’s..)
large exposures
…close’s self-portrait – monumental in size, sculpturally severe in expression – shows off the capacity of Polaroid’s largest camera. Warhol uses a smaller camera to reduce his face to a fuzzy, leering, acne-pocked mask. Close poses for eternity; the vampirish Warhol looks as if he were remembering, with a shudder, what he looked like when alive…
a series of very expensive and very unique polaroids which are up for sale at sotheby’s in the coming weeks, including, warhol, chuck close & ansel adams… (tip via the ‘move your teeth’ blog)
random ‘the’ type
there’s no reason for showing this piece of medieval type i came across other than i like it…
