Night trees, Art Young

From Art Young's diary:

"… Any night I could walk or ride along the road and see interesting silhouettes made by tree forms, many of them so clearly defined as to need to improvement on my part."

"… I enjoyed hunting for tree pictures against the light of the sky or thrown into relief by the glare of automobiles, and drawing them the next day. It seemed to me that this silhouette handling of trees at night had never before been done by an artist."

Ilustrations by Alexis Kyritsopoulos

I recently came across a book of folk stories with Nastradin Hodja, illustrated by Aleksis Kyritsopoulos. For some unknown reason I'd dismissed those illustrations, but now I realise they are very good. Here are my favourites

Study for Mural, Alasdair Gray.

This Painting is derived from Alasdair Gray's Mural ‘The Seventh Day of Creation - Eden and After’, in Greenhead church in Glasgow, completed in 1963. The Church was closed down in 1971.

The mural became quite controversial after the press noticed that God was depicted clearly on it. In the actual mural you could see less of him, as he was looking over at his creation, with his back almost completely turned against the viewer. Alasdair Gray says he painted god with a white beard like his father's. The animals and plants were inspired by "The Miracle of Life" and cigarette cards his dad gave him. I'll soon scan a photo of the actual mural from Gray's new book "A Life in Pictures"
