 The Colors Of Emmett Kerrigan打印此页
"His recent paintings readily recall aerial landscapes. The meticulously applied layers of color reflect a deep appreciation for the way the land carries a memory of its previous self." "Patchwork like spaces of unequal area are simplified and assembled to heighten the relevance of value, line and most importantly color." Emmett Kerrigan works and lives in Chicago, IL.

During the 1920s, the Chicago Rapid Transit Company commissioned the city's finest graphic artists to produce advertising posters that encouraged Chicagoans to use rapid transit for more than commuting to work. The images produced beckoned Chicagoans to the city's parks, museums and other urban spots, as well as to more bucolic destinations beyond the city limits. Curiously, almost none of the posters actually featured the "L"TM itself, only scenic views of the destinations. Although there seem to be no records of precisely how many posters were produced, what they advertised, and what images they consisted of, researchers think approximately 160 posters were produced for the Insull lines between 1921 and 1929. - chicago-l.org Please jump over to chicago-l.org to view the full collection. Thanks to Sam Rosen for the suggestion. Inspiration

Started in 1974, the Nikon Small World Competition has been recognizing excellence in photography through the microscope. "A photomicrograph is a technical document that can be of great significance to science or industry. But a good photomicrograph is also an image whose structure, color, composition, and content is an object of beauty, open to several levels of comprehension and appreciation." Today, we're taking a look at a selection of palettes from the top photos in the 2009 competition. This Year's Winners
