What if a photograph didn’t need a camera at all?

In the late 1920s, Franciszka and Stefan Themerson began experimenting with camera-less photography, using light, liquid and whatever they placed in its path, including plant branches. 🍃

Photograms are usually made by placing objects directly onto light-sensitive paper and exposing them to light, producing a single print. The Themersons adapted this method. Franciszka arranged the composition on a glass surface and adjusted the lighting above, while Stefan photographed it from below. By photographing the setup, they could create a negative and produce multiple prints from the same image, exploring variation through light and movement.

What are your plans for the long weekend? 🏸 🌳

Step into the world of David Inshaw’s 'The Badminton Game', where love, loss, and time converge in a vibrant, tranquil landscape. Inspired by Inshaw’s life in Devizes and the poetry of Thomas Hardy, the painting captures a fleeting instant full of emotion.

In Inshaw’s own words: 'I think my main aim was to produce a picture that held a moment in time, but unlike a photograph, which only records an event. I thought a painting could give a more universal deeper meaning to that moment, by composing one instant from a lot of different unrelated moments... I changed everything I used in the picture in order to increase the mystery and wonder I felt all around me in this magic place.' ✨

It is with great sadness that we share that Georg Baselitz has died.

Baselitz was at the forefront of European Neo-Expressionist painting from the 1960s onwards. His vigorous and expressive style had been characteristic of the artist’s practice for over six decades. Talking about his work he said, ‘I always work out of uncertainty, but when a painting's finished it becomes a fixed idea, apparently a final statement. In time though, uncertainty returns.’

In the mid-1960s, Baselitz embarked on a series of paintings depicting male figures that dominate the space of the picture. While they bear some relation to the heroic figures of Social Realist art, they were also portrayed as wounded or dishevelled. According to the artist, this figure holds the pole of a flag in one hand, while the other hand is bandaged. Details such as the burning house appear in other works in the series. 'I was concerned with a very direct, almost illustrative method of representation.'

International Dance Day 🌟 👠

#GetToKnow Belgian surrealist Marcel Mariën (1920-1993). He published the first written study about Rene Magritte in 1943 and became the principal historian of the Belgian surrealist group, as well as an associate of the Situationists.

In his own photographs, collages and assemblages, Mariën continued the surrealist tradition of making unexpected combinations of objects to reveal hidden or poetic meanings. In Star Dancer, the addition of a toy shoe creates a visual rhyme between a starfish and the leg of a dancer.

Happy Birthday Yves Klein (1928-1962), born #OnThisDay 💙

That vivid blue in the second slide? It was developed by Klein himself. He called it International Klein Blue, or IKB. But why invent a colour?

In 1947, while on holiday in Nice, young Klein and two of his artist friends decided to divide up the world between them. One would take the land, another the air and the last would take the sky. Klein saw the sky as a place where an artist could be free to think their own thoughts without being influenced by what people thought on the ground. He made the first photograph to show us how free we might be if we could leap into space, and IKB was the colour he imagined pure space might be.
