The Shaper / Gillespie, A. Lincoln., 1948

 Item
Identifier: CC-55667-59940
Scope and Contents Internet: This work amounts to an illustrated prose poem rant on modern art and artists in general, touching on psychology, artistic theory, the working class and labor, politics, etc., and mentioning Gertrude Stein and John Steinbeck. This must be one of the strangest, if not one of the most overlooked works of visual poetry in the United States. "Gillespie was a member of the group that centered around Transition Magazine in the 1920's and 30's. His work not only eschewed standard spelling and punctuation, it incorporated symbols and drawings and resembles musical notation. A selection of his work appeared in the third issue of Beaudoin's little magazine Iconograph, and was the only section of the magazine that had to be mimeographed, as the printer couldn't handle the eccentricities of the piece" (Adam Davis) Abraham Lincoln Gillespie, Jr. was born in Philadelphia in 1895 and died in New York in 1950. "In 1922 he moved to Paris where became friends with writers James Joyce and...

The Spirit Is Breathing / John Furnival., 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-10775-10985
Scope and Contents

Commissioned for "The Beauty in Breathing" exhibition. This screen of three hinged panels and a moveable panel of the letter "A" with recto-verso imagery is written in several languages with text alluding to the title. The five vowel sounds, especially the "A" are incorporated as major features of the design because vowels are the "only letters in the alphabet that represent sound made by breathing alone." The "A" is made prominent because it symbolizes creation. This standing screen is depicted in Furnival's "Lost For Words" (2011) on page 83. However, it is mislabeled as "Vowel Screen" (1986). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
