Head Paintings / Fones, Robert., 1997

 Item
Identifier: CC-29487-30852
Scope and Contents

All of the illustrations in this book are reproduced from a series of paintings on canvas with the same stylized image of a face with two, three dimensional, sockets for eyes, and a drawer-like rendering of a mouth. Each painting is explained by Fones with a facing text. A single picture entitled, "First Word," has the letter 'D' in one eye socket, 'A' in the other, and 'D A' in the mouth slot. Fones explains, "The colours of the letter forms were taken from the water in Giotto's "The Miracle of the Spring," a painting from his Franciscan Cycle at Assisi. The grey colour of the head is taken from the rock surrounding the spring. In spoken language, the breath stream, as it is called, is modified or sopped by teeth, tongue, lips, and vocal cords. Similarly, these letter forms are continuous extrusions, shaped by the skeletal form of the two letters.This book is one of fifty copies bound by Michael Torosian. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
