Quoted: Tagore wrote novels, short stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays on political and personal topics. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are among his best-known works. His verse, short stories, and novels, which often exhibited rhythmic lyricism, colloquial language, meditative naturalism, and philosophical contemplation, received worldwide acclaim. Tagore was also a cultural reformer and polymath who modernised Bengali art by rejecting strictures binding it to classical Indian forms. Two songs from his canon are now the national anthems of Bangladesh and India: the Amar Shonar Bangla and the Jana Gana Mana respectively.

An interesting article about the upcoming Charles Schulz biography and the idea of the suffering artist.
Quoted: with the publication this week of a highly anticipated biography by David Michaelis, “Schulz and Peanuts,” that examines seemingly every disappointment and slight (real or perceived) in Mr. Schulz’s 77 years, his reputation as tormented creative soul seems poised only to grow.

Just visited this installation yesterday evening. It is incredibly fun! A slow-moving animation is projected across a dark room, creating subtly changing walls of light out of floating dust. Sometimes if feels like being inside a tunnel with walls that you can walk or even swim through.
Quoted: Anthony McCall and Imi Knoebel both have used deceptively simple projections with strikingly complex effects. You and I, Horizontal (2005), a digital projection — and recent SFMOMA acquisition — by McCall, draws on his 1970s-era solid-light film installations to create an engaging experience of light as a three-dimensional beam and wall animation.

m redot. Wonderful photo by Michael Richard, who is legally blind.
Quoted: legally blind since January 2002. I am able to perceive shapes and full ranges of colors at close proximity. Sometimes I miss details while shooting that later become apparent in the developing and printing processes.
