3D Geometric Light Paintings: Feel Desdain offers?the stunning three-dimensional light graffiti of photographer and light painter Trevor Williams.?Williams, a Canadian who does work in Japan, uses various LED and xenon flashlights to produce the original 3D light sculptures.
El Tren Expreso: These Mexican movie posters, circa 1948?1954, come from the collection of Ramon Figueroa. Says Figueroa: ?The posters are a great expression of a time when Mexico made an investment in popular culture as a way to promote the values and virtues that would unify society and consolidate the power of the system. I think it is very interesting that some of the poster artists (such as Josep Renau or Ernesto Garc?a Cabral) were also muralists. There is research to be done on the Mexican poster as an example of the aesthetic cohesiveness of government sponsored art in Mexico before the ?60s.?
100 Years of Illustration and Design: Paul Giambarba?s blog offers a wonderful international view of the history of design and illustration, with names you might not know but should. A case in point is designer?Franco Grignani (1909-1999) of Milan.?The?AGI, which honored him with membership in 1952, says:??Grignani studied architecture but became more interested in graphic design. He devoted himself?to experiments in optical and visual design, painting and photographs. The Milan printers Alfieri & Lacroix allowed him a free hand with his typographic experiments. In later years he devised outstanding and novel photo compositions, based on optical systems he invented. He influenced many of his contemporaries.?
