From just three simple lines artist Mike Creighton renders complex and detailed topographic landscapes. In his generative art series Line Topography he samples three horizontal scanlines to acquire three lines to draw with explaining that, after choosing color palettes, he then uses these as a “brush” to create the basic structure of his images through a custom app created in Processing.

I CEPHALOPODI
Cephalopods of Naples

From an 1896 monograph by Giuseppe Jatta. The illustrator is Comingio Merculiano (1845- 1915), a professional watercolor painter hired in 1885 by prof. Anton Dohrn as in-house illustrator for the Naples Zoological Station, and one of the best scientific illustrators to date. This book on cephalopods is his masterpiece.

While Marcel Breuer might have needed a map to Alexander Calder’s home in 1947, we doubt he’d need one to see the artist’s work currently on view at the Museum!

archivesofamericanart:

Wait, wasn’t this posted just a few days ago? No, my friends, this is not the map drawn by Alexander Calder to direct Ben Shahn to his house, it’s the map drawn by Alexander Calder to direct Marcel Breuer to his house. I wonder how many more of these are tucked away in our various collections?
