Where Are They Now? (The Class of Forty-Seven) / Phillips, Tom ; McHugh, Heather ; Minsky R., 1990

 Item
Identifier: CC-04818-4910
Scope and Contents

The book is based upon Phillips' collaged portraits of classmates attending his primary school, which was exhibited in London at the National Portrait Gallery in 1988. Phillips sent copies of 31 images to the American Seattle poet, Heather McHugh, who composed a poem for each portrait. Phillips then interpreted the poems in the style of "A Humument." His new text sometimes reaffirms and other times contradicts the poet's intrerpretation of the pictures. The collage, conventional poem and visual poem were printed by Minsky on the same page using Richard de Bas paper, a computer, and a Canon BJ-130 inkjet printer. This copy is the only one that contains the 31 images and poems handcolored by Phillips. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
