“A work of art is useless as a flower is useless. A flower blossoms for its own joy. We gain a moment of joy by looking at it. That is all that is to be said about our relations to flowers.”

not a typo, the edition is 1972

28 lithographs in brown (portrait heads) & 102 pages with lithographic initials, etc. in blue Although Poésies Antillaises was published eighteen years after Matisse’s death, its overall design and illustrations had been rigorously planned by the artist. In fact, Matisse began the project in 1945. Matisse’s illustrations were comprised of a series of head and bust images of his then current models. Head of a Female Model, 1945-46 Head of a Female Model, 1945-46 This image and its partner facing are two of the twelve supplementary lithographs for a special deluxe edition of Poésies Antillaises.

Send only letters and drawings, never money or gifts, as he has everything he needs. Thank Bill if you can!

these mashups are burned into my cortex.

who among us is brave enough to have his work printed side by side with Ditko Dr. Strange?

Cool Comic Covers – Justice League International 13 and Suicide Squad 13 This week’s post highlights the same-but-different covers to Justice League International 13 and Suicide Squad 13.

had to look this one up. very cool.

mattreadscomics.com/2023/07/11/c...

Side by side, the two covers form a mirror image of each other. The Suicide Squad (Bronze Tiger, Captain Boomerang, Javelin, Deadshot and led by Rick Flagg) defends itself from an attacking JLI (Guy Gardner, Blue Beetle, Mr. Miracle, J'onn J'onzz and led by Batman). - Justice League International #13 & Suicide Squad #13, May 1988 by Giffen & DeMatteis & Gordon and Ostrander, McDonnell & Lewis.

It's JLI vs. Task Force X!

Against orders, Rick assembles the squad and heads to Russia to rescue their teammate Nemesis who is scheduled to be executed.

To avoid an international incident, the President dispatches the JLI to stop "a team of super-villains" from attacking a soviet prison.

Publicity shot of Mike Sekowsky using model Joyce Miller as the basis for the new "mod" Diana Prince that started with Wonder Woman #178 in 1968.

where’s the I-Ching model?
