	... movement that flourished in America in New England (the Cape Ann school) and in the American southwest during the 1930s to 1960s--plein aire painters they are often called in casual reference, often persons trained in Europe who came to America to carry on a way of painting that was no longer considered avant garde, or even fashionable in Europe. In fact, they were a reaction to the advance of Technical Abstraction in New York and Paris. They were a large and talented bunch of artists who wanted to go back to (or at least resume) impressionism, much as toda ...

	In the hood	1 Relevance	13 years ago	karin koller webb	General discussion
	In the hood Thanks Wooden, Looks to be right in the neighborhood of our fave digs, the Northrup Inn on 21st and Northrup. Also very close to Ristretto Roasters which can only be good... Will check it out. I'm dragging along a lovely Deco vase that I want to convert to a lamp so I'll be heading to Naomi's in Lake Oswego for their help with converting it. That too is an amazing biz if looking for the perfect lampshade. I'll snap a picture once completed. KarinHazel

	... looking for with the window dressing of quantitative analysis, because the statistic wouldn't really be randomized, and the underlying complexity vaguely symbolized by each parameter and variable formulated in any more rigorous parametric attempt of analysis would likely violate the assumptions of statistical inference (is the population really normally distributed, is the mean really zero, is the error factor really free of multicollinearity, etc.?). So analysis would necessarily default to some more arcane and limited statistical analysis, or to game theo ...
	Vivienne...Pt.1	1 Relevance	20 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	... I couldn't get straight to the point. And bear with me here, because you are apt to find it uncool in the beginning...but I'm being authentic here, which is not always chic. There was an episode of Star Trek once along time ago. It was in the original TV series. Captain Kirk and part of his crew do a bit of time travel. They go back in time to 1920s-1930s Chicago--the gangland era, or perhaps the depression. Spock, looking absurd, wears a stocking cap to cover his pointy ears, but I digress. There's a woman living in this old Chicago, who becomes Kirk's lo ...
	Exquisite engineering	1 Relevance	20 years ago	James Collins	General discussion
	... engineer of hagia sophia was able to increase the clear span by basically setting a full dome on top of four half domes and filling in the space between to spread the load (pendantives). The buttressing required is massive so the dome doesn't splatt again like a souffle at a community theater performance of riverdance. But I digress... This is where engineering was moving modernism in the 6th century AD. Then the middle ages hit and when things picked up in the 10/11th century Europe went in a different direction. Up instead of out and thus the gothic cath ...

	I paid $175, delivered...well, to my mums, I still have to drag it home. Can't wait to see it in person EDIT - I haven't done any research yet on what it might be worth (seeing it will help there) but that will help me make the old keep/move decision. Wife digs it, that may change things....
	Like that ?	1 Relevance	16 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Like that ? That's our friend John Lautner, ex-Taliesin, in Montrose (LA) in in the heady days of 1949 -- the Schaffer residence. It's been on the market for a bit, now. . . Swell digs.
	Carpet tiles?	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Technadia	General discussion
	Carpet tiles? You might consider Flor carpet tiles. They come up easily and can be rinsed off/spot cleaned. Some styles look very durable/cleanable. Or maybe just wait until your kids are past the food-throwing phase! Nice digs and furnishings, by the way. http://www.flor.com/
	...and I vote get rid of...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	finch	General discussion
	...and I vote get rid of... ...and I vote get rid of that vase full of elongated S'mores sticks in the corner. I can't see things happening in a place like that. I mean, anything with even remote character would be conspicuous. I've said it before about some other uber-polished digs referenced here; you can't play a Tom Waits or a Lefty Frizzell album in a place like that. You can't spread out a project on the floor. You can't sit there and remove price tags with lighter fluid from old LP jackets. You can't eat BBQ in a place like that. It's too slick. Riki ...

	... you drop them an email with a photo, I'm sure they could tell you exactly what it's worth. Back in the 50s and 60s, when mid-century modern was 'contemporary', the center of furniture manufacturing in the states was Northern Mississippi (before it all migrated to North Carolina). All of this furniture was distributed through Memphis, which is still a huge distribution hub today. Consequently, mid century furniture is/was much more abundant there than in many other parts of the country. If I have my story straight, the original founder of Flashback sold his ...
	Let me respond to what you linked...PT 2	1 Relevance	21 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	... basic problem with this juxtaposition, at least today. Its become cliche, regardless of how "now and nutty" the Bouroullec Bros intend its message. Three quarters of a century ago, modernists began making a virtue of the shock of the new by consciously juxtaposing modernist forms with legacy surroundings. And it shocked. And it jarred. And it worked, despite wrecking the harmony of alot of fine old neighborhoods and interiors. And it was authentic the first time around. But then the post modernists inverted the trick by putting shockingly (for a brief time) ...
	European vs. American taste Pt.3	1 Relevance	21 years ago	dcwilson	General discussion
	... and materials that encourage mass production and product homogeneity at levels unprecedented in Europe even now (of course China is in the process of making American economies of scale seem like Europes, but I digress). In turn, Americans have grown used to a different expectation of kinds, quantities and qualiies of products than have Europeans. Note: Europeans through the EU federalization are trying to scale up to attain competitive economies of scales in all manner of goods and services. And they are succeeding to some extent and anyone who has traveled ...
	Morode	1 Relevance	22 years ago	Z M	General discussion
	Morode Found a great set today. "Morode", designed by Kazuhiko Tomita and produced by Covo in Rome. Great balance, nice feel and I am partial to rounder handles as opposed to the flat handles - don't like the way flat edge digs into forefinger. These are great! Not the best pics on the site but here's the link. http://www.covo.com
