Archive for Poems Written Upon The Breath A Claudel Varient: Projected Sundial / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael; Thorpe, John R.; Harvey M; Cutts S; Lassus B; Gardner I., 1973 - 1974
Item
Identifier: CC-12723-12972
Scope and Contents
In March 1973, Finlay writes to Stephen Bann to compliment him on an account of a Tarasque weekend and to discuss a poem in French by Claudel, from "100 Phrases for Fans," that had been translated and sent to him by Edward Lucie-Smith. He encloses a copy of this poem which he retyped with his own modifications as well as a letter from Smith. Finlay requests Bann's opinion as to the appropriateness for him to interpret the poem's layout as a sundial inscription and of Finlay's rendition. Still in March 1973, Finlay writes to Edward Lucie-Smith for clarification of Claudel's poem that he had sent to Finlay previously. The poem reads Fan (opposite page), Poems written upon the breath. Finlay asks Smith as to why "Fan" is on the opposite page and why the words have been split. Finlay wonders whether the disjointed words equate to a fan-picture when the fan is closed and if the phrase in the poem, "written upon a breath" signifies that the fan makes a little breathing. Bann responds to...

Archive for Stuttgart Max Planck Project / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Costley, Ron., 1972 - 1978
Item
Identifier: CC-12667-12908
Scope and Contents
In Sept 1972, Finlay enters into correspondence with Jurgen Brenner, a German architect, about a commission for an installation within a garden at the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart. He selects Costley as the calligrapher and artist for the preparatory drawings. He writes Brenner that he wants "free-drawn letters...as opposed to rigid typographic letters. I consider it essential that poems that people are going to see every day, are verbal/visual/decorative, rather than (as it were) merely literary." In Nov-Dec 1972, Finlay sends instructions to Costley about execution of the sculpture for the installation. The poems in English & German include tile murals, Wave/Rock, Wave, Star/Steer, Sails/Waves, and, sundials, Sea/Land. He follows this up with suggestions for Latin & French versions. Finlay's 2nd list of poems include Schiff, Ark/Arc, Homage to Seurat, Cloud, Gourd (together with Nuclear Sail & Fountain/Sphinx), Set of Wild Stones, and The Colours of the Vowels....

Identifier: CC-12773-13039

In an Oct 1973 letter to John Andrew, Finlay begins by clearing up details on the gnomon in the Dividing the Light Sundial project. He then describes Torso Aircraft Carrier & refers to photographs of a wooden torso carrier which had been made in collabora with John Thorpe. He proposes two projects to Andrew, one made in stone as essentially a variation on the wooden version and a sequel titled the Archaic Carrier by using material of rough, crumbled or pitted stone, an Archaic fragment. In Oct 1973, Finlay acknowledges receipt of drawings for the bronze medals from Andrew but is dissatisfied with them, drops this project, and indicates that he wants to restrict his collaboration to the Aircraft Carrier Torso project. He mentions that he intends to site the piece in his front garden beside the Aircraft Carrier Bird-Bath and requests that a light-colored stone be utilized for its fabrication. He states that he will send Andrew a drawing, model airplanes and references (none of...
