#Kzoo2022 Lesley Milner's masterful paper on treasure houses (sacristry) C14 English parish churches. How to id, who paid for them and why? Physical evidence of great vaults, windows, water/heat source for some to deal with sacred washing. So interesting!

I don't know why, but the strange Mannerist prints of Jacques Bellange (1575-1616) have always intrigued me. The pudgy balloon bodies with the attenuated limbs (fingers esp), the naked yet clothed w lots of drapery, and the shimmering light makes for a strange world.

@antiquariananon Nice watercolor from when the pigment was a bit fresher (or the artist more inventive?)

Works by the Rinpa School, Japan were purchased by wealthy merchants, eager to prove their cultural knowledge. Here Ogata Korin references a poem from the Tales of Ise based on an 8-plank bridge over irises, a man missing his wife, uses syllables of "iris" to create the poem.2/4

The Rinpa School, Edo Period (1603-1867), Japan specialized in works that were decorative & highly intellectual, referencing classic literary works of the Heian/Kamakura Periods. Stylistically, they mixed 2D forms w 3D areas created by tarashikomi, a wet-on-wet technique. 1/4

Not #Caterday yet & I've posted this before, but for some reason, I thought I would share again. Takao Iijima (b.1931) aka Ay-O, (靉嘔) is Fluxus artist from Japan. He does amazing silkscreen prints. Naturally, my favorites are his cats.

#MedievalManuscripts Holding a book properly so that it wouldn't be damaged was important. People would use their sleeves (like this hybrid fellow), or use cloth covers
