Stored in Chopin box. Amazon.com: Since the 1960s, conceptual artists Henri Chopin (Pairs-London), Guy de Cointet (Paris-Los Angeles) and Channa Horwitz (Los Angeles) have dedicated themselves to analyzing system deducing the rules and consolidating them into visible structures. This book accompanied the parallel where drawings by these three respected artists generate new meaning as the aesthetic-visual translation of early post-structuralist thought. A Void, taken from George Perec's experimental novel, which famously did not include the letter 'e' as a nod to language epistemological constraints. Riffing on this idea, the artists' works seem clearly embroiled in such systems of meaning-making. Horwitz's on the boundary of symbol and performance, while Chopin explored the line between chaos and order. de Cointet left behind an oeuvre characterized by codes and puzzles for future generations. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

According to an article in Life Magazine July 20, 1953, the artist (1912-1973) worked in the 1930s to 1950s as a typist in the Barcelona police department. Coming home to her apartment after work, she sat down at an old Underwood typewriter and made true images from copies of old paintings and photographs using 17 different colored ribbons and a mixture of letters and punctuation marks without requiring brush or pencil retouching. She typed on gesso coated canvas. The vividly colored typewriter pictures were commissioned by Barcelona art patrons. An internet search failed to uncover any of her work in Spanish museums. The individual typewriter characters were often blurred by the varnish finish sprayed on the completed pictures. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
