Word of the day: Character's Day!! Artist of the day: Brody Neuenschwander






So much happiness for just one day!!
Character's Day, in Mariakerke.. Meeting Veruschka Gotz, a famous typography teacher in Berlin, and then Brody Neuenschwander, the calligrapher responsible for the drawings in Greenaway's "Pillows".

So much art for just one day...Overwhelmingly touching, calligraphy definitely got itself a brand new place in the postmodernist ranking I used to consider so far.

Few words to be said... still under the strong influence of a man's work of art-of text inserted into film, and published on human skin.
Transition between written word and image has been made!! And this, without depriving the primordial classical calligraphy of any of its purity... Text is image, thanks to Brody Neuenschwander and Greenaway!!!
