Working Day and Night, 1989

 Item — Box 107

Scope and Contents

This work shows a balcony with books, very much like the Sackner Archive. The artist confirmed that he had no idea of this when he did the work. In the bottom center, a child is seated at a round table. Through two large windows are a day time and a night time scene. The frame is covered with dense hand-lettered text on topology. The top and bottom edges are written backwards and can be read with a small mirror provided by the artist. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Writing Series: Pressures #2 / Kallman, Edith., 1989

 Item
Identifier: CC-61630-10007091
Scope and Contents The word "pressures" is repeatitively written in the image. The Passdoor (Sebastopol CA) website Edith Kallman (1926-2014) was unique in her approach, using the repetition of words in a calligraphic style to create intricate patterns. Her spirals and grids offer us personal and social messages that vanish into graphic images. "Such words and phrases as: Obsessive, Pressures, And On and On, serve as titles...the words stimulate viewer participation and experience." Edith was influenced by the abstract expressionist painters of the 50"s and 60's, and contemporary artists of her time: Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Philip Guston, Adolph Gottlieb, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, Ad Reinhardt, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still. You can see their influence in her use of color fields and gestural brush strokes. In the early 70"s she developed her own style, which challenged the aesthetic establishment of her times. She was highly influenced by the Graffiti Art movement...
