Merci encore pour votre engouement pour mon premier fanzine de 2025.

Comme je n'étais pas sur Mastodonte en 2024, voilà mon fanzine phare de cette année.

DIVAGATION PELLICULÉE

Une bobine 45mm du film que je me suis fait dans la tête, une lutte entre deux entités musicales mondialement connues pour un étrange breuvage.

"Water Lilies," Ohara Koson, 1920s.

Ohara (1877-1945) was a pre-eminent painter and woodblock print designer of the late 18th and early 20th centuries. He belonged to the shin-hanga school, which revived the styles and aesthetics of the ukiyo-e school, but also was a major practitioner of the kachō-e subschool... kachō-e means "bird and flower". His specialty was images of the transitory moments of nature, like a bird that could fly away any second, or as we have here, beautiful blooms but with a pad that's been nibbled on.

He also did some historical work, with scenes from the Russo-Japanese war, and some satirical prints, like a delightful scene of sumo-wrestling frogs. But his kachō-e work is best-known. He sold well in the United States, even during the start of WWII.

From the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

A Japanese print of the kachō-e subschool of the shin-hanga movement. A close view of some water lilies floating in a pond, with two pink-and-white flowers blossoming, one bud nearly open, and two others still developing. The lily pads are done in great detail and are very realistic.

"Cedar Hill," Helen Frankenthaler, 1983.

Frankenthaler (1928-2011) was of the Abstract-Expressionist mode, as one can guess from this image, but she broke a few molds by making Abstract Expressionist woodcuts, something I otherwise would not have thought possible. And they're BIG woodcuts as well....this is relatively small at 20 x 24 inches, but she's done some that are more than six feet tall. And even at its size, it still required 13 woodblocks to make.

I love an artist who relishes a challenge, don't you?

From the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, New York.

An Abstract work. A woodcut, the image is mostly tan, with a band of blue at the top. There is some green where the colors meet, and some red forms.
