nice! excellent, luke, thanks


I just spent some time and organized the Picture book page, sorting the half-pages by who got them, and by pic/text grouping. If we go by each group have a top/bottom for both pic and text, then it looks like we've got 13 groups so far with 4 quadrants each (or /2 since they're all front and back), matched to the best of my matching ability.

Assuming these are all from the same book as mentioned above, I think anyone who has a bottom piece should check the page again and see if there's a page number listed. It's hard to tell right now whether they are actually the front/back pages from the book, or copies of the pages, mixed up for us.

The groupings look like they could be left/right combos (pic on the left of the binding, text on the right), or even pic on the front (right of the binding) and text on the back (left of the binding). So for now I just left it as pic/text combo until we've got a better thread of connections.

/me awaits luke's scans Very Happy

Torn magazine page, opposite site has page number 77, and that's it.

What side is that page number on? The torn side, or not?

EDIT: No need to answer that. It's the torn side. It's always the torn side. And the page with the image is 78.


wrong, it's in the right-angle cut corner. font is something like times italic, and it's printed in brown.

update: it matches molecularr's 79/80

luke, it looks like your closest craigslist is Toronto as there's no Oshawa city, and there's only 3 ontario hits, Kitchener, Windsor and Toronto.

congrats Smile

btw, it looks like there's two art books in play. one is printed on heavy paper (stiffer than the paper that the providence craigslist posting is printed on) and has small black page numbers near the binding in a roman face. The other is printed on lighter paper (wimpier than the providence CL printout) and has larger brown page numbers in an italic face.

edit: based on my two, the book with the stiffer pages is also wider. my page from that (53/54) is at about 7.5" wide and my page from the lighter one (77/7Cool is only 6.5"

For the people that have tops: try to judge what source yours is from

Here's a possible source for the other art pages. Using the two clues in molecularr's package here and here, I searched for "Deborah Haynes" and "impermanance" and came up with this.

It is a PDF of the table of contents from the Fall 2006 issue of a liberal arts journal at the University of Virginia called the The Hedgehog Review. Again, it is hard to be definitive without seeing the actual pages, but the relevant part reads:
Quote:
GALLERY
"Meditations on Impermanence" / 78
Deborah J. Haynes


So, the title seems to fit, the font seems to be in the right ball-park and the page number corresponds...

unfortunately it's Tribute to Impermanence, and it's on page 80, and Haynes is on page 79 under "Urn"... hard to tell which it's for. might be on the right track though

I can confirm this to be correct! I've got a PDF of the article - I'll post full pages in a sec.

That would explain why molecularr's page contains the exact same image caption as inio's page:
Quote:
Emmanuel Fremiet
Gorille enlevant une femme (Gorilla
carrying off a woman)
1887
Plaster
life-size
Reproduced in Gustave Ollendorf,
Salon de 1887, ed. L Baschet, Librarie
d'art, Paris, 1887, opposite p.82

Those two pages probably come from two different books then, right?

No, sorry I wasn't clear.

I think that "Meditations on Impermanence" is the name that the journal gave to the whole Gallery section:

p. 77 blank page
p. 78 beginning of the Haynes section. Shows picture of artwork entitled "Urn, 2006" (which the wiki has as "tentacle" for obvious reasons)
p. 79 contains title of artwork and Haynes bio
p. 80 contains detail of artwork entited "Tribute to Impermanence"

EDIT: fantastic find inio! I'm glad I was right Smile

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I was wondering if the personal letters are in any way a refrence to various styles of tarrot card?
Theres about a million different styles of tarrot card out there, but this reminded me of one I used to have, and obviously it was for the Hanged man.
Just a thought!

That's a really good thought, but if it's the case, in most letters the card must be implied rather than named as directly as in the example you used.

When you read through the other letters do any other matches leap out at you?

Im going to get my little book out and have a good ponder. A few things leap out at me, but I might me stretching xD
But yeah, I agree I think that their implied.
I think it would make it alot easier if I found that specific style of tarot I was thinking of first. I'll have a gander and see!

It's a good idea, and we may certainly see other tarot references. Luke's letter could as easily be representative of The Moon or The Tower, though.

As an aside note, regarding the "Strength" Tarot card on the website's background - it's from the Rider-Waite (sp??) tarot set, and I *think* it's the only card in that set that depicts a cat of any sort. Very Happy I'm sure it doesn't mean anything, but I thought that was a nice touch...

Edit: A handy tarot website focusing on the Rider-Waite cards is located here: http://www.learntarot.org
