Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
3/9: munari
In a bit of an odd mood this morning--a lingering cold, a night of insomnia then fitful sleep, and the residue of a week with some unpleasant moments. I'm trying to shake it all off as much as possible so it doesn't overly color my Saturday. Part of the shaking-off strategy was reading some short essays by Bruno Munari, from Design as Art. I loved, loved, loved the piece entitled "Fancy Goods."
I only got as far as TREES and SUN but enjoyed showing them to my art students.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would never have known about Munari at all if it hadn't been for you, Barbara, and your posting about the Sun book on your blog--so I am very grateful!
