John Walters contributes a lengthy, well illustrated essay, "Sound, code, image," that describes visual musical scores that composers use to liberate their sound from its five-line grid. He claims these scores are graphic designs of music. Steven Heller traces the history of picture magazines from German, Russian, Dutch and finally the American Life magazine. He notes that these visual narratives succeeded until the advent of television. Julia Thrift describes the radical magazines published for political purposes on duplicators, copy machines and now on the internet in her essay, "Do-it-yourself." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Each pillow depicts a monthly calendar for 2004 along with a graphic design image from a well-known graphic designer. The work was presented to the Sackners as a gift from students, designers and faculty of the NWS of the Arts in Miami. A photograph of Barbara Wilson sitting amongst her pillows on a sofa is stored within an artist's correspondence looseleaf notebook in the Sackner study. The October pillow picturing Piet Zwart was selected for the opening exhibition at the Miami-Dade Library in Miami Beach. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
