RE: Truth Beauty book
Chris and all, > What I cannot understand, though (forgive my opinion here), is that generation's fascination with the Michallet paper that had strong vertical lines. You can tell it a mile away in a book. > Michallet paper: If I recall Judy Segal mentioned this paper several eons ago on the list. Perhaps this link will provide a visual for list members regarding this papers use by Georges Seurat: http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2007/seurat/ Specifically his use of crayon on paper. Select the tab titled "Subjects". The most interesting to are the slide shows of his 'Café Concert'. You can enlarge those images by clicking on them. Very soft and smudgy and as noted on the MoMA website - 'cinematic'. Details of the exhibit can be read here: http://press.moma.org/images/press/Press_release_archive/Seurat_Release_Fina l_Letter.pdf > I wonder if that paper is still made and if people nowadays have used it and like it? Demachy and Kasebier both printed on it, and it also looks like it made its way to Japan and Czechoslovakia as well, or maybe another brand of that same very lined paper. It, to me, just seems so out of touch with a soft focus type print...reminds me of a bad scan job one gets when one doesn't check the "descreening" option. > Based on my Google search this morning New York Central Art Supply or Talas may carry a similar paper made by Arches: http://apps.webcreate.com/ecom/catalog/product_specific.cfm?ClientID=15&Prod uctID=24141 Arches MBM.
