La semplicità non è un fine dell’arte ma si arriva alla semplicità malgrado se stessi avvicinandosi al senso reale delle cose. La semplicità è la complessità stessa – ti devi nutrire della su…
One of America's foremost sculptors, Malvina Hoffman (1885-1966) studied with the great French sculptor Auguste Rodin from 1910 until his death in 1917 and is recognized by some as "America's Rodin". Hoffman is perhaps best known for her monumental bronze series, "The Races of Mankind", commissioned in 1930 by Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History.

Forget Atlantis, we want to know more about the mysterious, ancient Cucuteni-Trypillians, who were not erudite space lizards, despite their name, but Neolithic humans whose settlements were so advanced, and so vast, that they pioneered the concept of the city as we know it in Eastern Europe. The tro

Een inspirerende dosis verwondering over kunst, natuur, stijl, reizen, creativiteit en de kleine dingen van het leven.
Perhaps a common initial reaction to the sculptural work of artist Francesco Albano is fright. It isn't entirely clear what is in front of us, but it seems human and and it seems wrong. Albano's sculptures appear to be parts or whole human bodies that are some how deformed or mutilated. Certain parts and appendages are easily discernible while others are more difficult to identify. The sculptures shed some light on the idea of ugliness, how we apply it to our bodies, and a general uneasiness with our physical selves. Albano's artwork addresses more than an just a physical aesthetic but a larger anxiety over physical well being. See more of his sculptures after the jump.

The reason I like The Cure is partly because no matter what song is playing, you can tell that it's them just by their sound. This is the kind of continuity I value in my own aesthetics as well. Underlying concepts create themes, which I build upon each time I make a new collection. But no matter wh

I’m a sucker for the British period drama Call The Midwife. The show has its corny moments admittedly, but it’s fascinating to watch how pregnant women, midwives and nuns living in the poor East End of London during the 1950s dealt with safe childbirth in the era before epidurals, C-sections or even adequate sanitary conditions. So when I saw these fabric wombs dated around 1760 I was immediately transfixed and interested. Pioneering midwife Angélique Marguerite Le Boursier du Coudray created the fabric wombs as a teaching tool: In 1759 the king commissioned her to teach midwifery to rural women to reduce infant mortality. Between 1760 to 1783, she traveled rural France, sharing her knowledge with women. During this time, she is estimated to have directly trained 4,000 students. Du Coudray invented the first lifesize obstetrical mannequin, called “The Machine.” Various strings and straps serve to simulate the process of childbirth. The head of the infant mannequin has a shaped nose, stitched ears, hair drawn with ink, and an open mouth, with tongue. While they’re semi-creepy to look at, I’m sure they saved a lot of lives.

Gehard Demetz's masterfully-carved wood sculptures focus exclusively on children. But these children do not represent weakness or a sense of innocence: instead, they are powerful protagonists that look defiantly at the viewers with confrontational gazes. When we first featured Demetz in Hi-Fructose Vol. 22, he discussed the wisdom and experience he believes children carry on from their ancestors through their subconscious, which he brings out through a sense of self-awareness visible in his characters. Demetz has a solo show coming up at Beck & Eggeling in Dusseldorf, Germany where he will debut a new body of lime wood sculptures titled "Der Schnee Kommt Vom Mond," or "The Snow Comes from the Moon."

Men ziet me aan wonden naakt, Ofschoon ik door het vermogen Van mijn schepper ben gemaakt Geenszins wereldzeer te beogen, Want ik masker alleen ‘t gezicht Des schoons met een éénge stiel, Die kloven in het mensdom dicht En haar leegten vult met een ziel.
