Anne Brigman

Anne Wardrope (Nott) Brigman (1869-1950) was an American photographer and one of the original members of the Photo-Secession movement in America. Her most famous images were taken between 1900 and 1920, and depict nude women in primordial, naturalistic contexts.
Brigman's photographs frequently focused on the female nude, dramatically situated in natural landscapes or trees. Many of her photos were taken in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in carefully selected locations and featuring elaborately staged poses. Brigman often featured herself as the subject of her images. After shooting the photographs, she would extensively touch up the negatives with paints, pencil, or superimposition.
Brigman's deliberately counter-cultural images suggested bohemianism and female liberation. Her work challenged the establishment's cultural norms and defied convention, instead embracing pagan antiquity. The raw emotional intensity and barbaric strength of her photos contrasted with the carefully calculated and composed images of Stieglitz and other modern photographers.

Sätty (Wilfried Podriech)

Sätty (Wilfried Podriech) was born in Bremen, Germany, in 1939. As a child he played in the ruins of the city, which was  heavily bombed during World War Two. After three years of apprenticeship in mechanical engineering, he worked in Canada, then moved to San Francisco in 1961. For a few years he worked as a steward on the Pacific cruise ships of the Matson Line, and later as a heating and ventilating systems designer.
In San Francisco he lived in North Beach, and associated with artists and bohemians of the Beat Generation. Since childhood he had demonstrated artistic potential.  In 1966, inspired by the openness and creativity of San Francisco's emergent Hippie culture, he began making pictorial collages. Some of these were sold as poster size prints, which were then very popular. He became a prolific artist, concerned with fine technique and with expression of the broadest range of human experience. He intended his art to engage the imagination and counteract the pernicious stimulus-response programming of media advertising.
Sätty created many colorful artworks and lithographic prints, and hundreds of black and white collages. During the 1970s many were used as illustrations in both the counter culture and establishment periodicals. He produced two collage books, The Cosmic Bicycle and Time Zone, a pictorial allegory.  He created illustrations for the comprehensive treatise, The Annotated Dracula and for The Illustrated Edgar Allan Poe, a book of stories he selected. During the late 1970s until his death in 1982, he produced numerous collages inspired by events in San Francisco's often dramatic, unruly history, from the Gold Rush to the 1890s. Many of these occasionally  bizarre images have recently been published in Visions of Frisco, by Regent Press,  Berkeley.
In a review of Sätty's art, S.F. Chronicle art critic Thomas Albright stated, "His work evidenced his Germanic roots with a somber, dreamlike realm of utopian, surrealist fantasy spiced by disarming accents of the bizarre and grotesque." His art has been exhibited in many galleries and museums, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Boston Museum of Fine Arts; the National Museum of Art, Belgrade; and the National Museum, Warsaw.

THERESA BYRNES - MEASURE OF MAN 
Leonardo Davinci's anatomical drawing THE VITRUVIAN MAN heralded the age where the perfection of man was central to all things and encouraged progress and excellence in the individual and in society. The assertion of the centrality of the human soul in the order of creation is an idea I challenge.

 

Eliane Radigue - Trilogie de la Mort

Ramakrishna et Kali

«  Un jour, j'étais en proie à une intolérable angoisse. Il me semblait qu'on me tordait le cœur comme un linge mouillé... La souffrance me déchirait. A l'idée que je n'aurai pas dans ma vie la bénédiction de cette vision divine, une frénésie terrible me saisit. Je pensai : Si cela doit être ainsi, assez de cette vie !... La grande épée pendait, dans le sanctuaire de Kâli. Mon regard tomba sur elle ; et j'eus le cerveau traversé d'un éclair. - Elle !... « Elle m'aidera à mettre fin... » Je me précipitai. Je l'empoigne, comme un fou... Et voici !... La pièce, avec toutes ses portes et fenêtres, le temple, tout s'évanouit. Il me sembla que plus rien n'existait. Et, à la place, je perçus un océan d'esprit, sans limites, éblouissant. De quelque part que je tournasse les yeux, aussi loin que je regardais, je voyais arriver d'énormes vagues de cet océan luisant. Elles se précipitaient furieusement sur moi, avec un bruit formidable, comme pour m'avaler. En un instant, elles furent sur moi, elles s'écroulèrent, elles m'engouffrèrent. Roulé par elles, je suffoquai. Je perdis toute ma conscience naturelle, et je tombai... Comment passèrent ce jour et le suivant, je ne le sais point. Au-dedans de moi roulait un océan de joie ineffable. 

Et jusqu'au fond, j'étais conscient de la présence de la Divine Mère... »
