Decorative Sunday

California craftsman, artist, and arts educator Pedro J. Lemos begins his forward to the Artist’s Scrap Book with this advice: “In this age where the artist takes his place in the practical professions with the architect, the engineer, the lawyer, journalist, and musician, he also finds as a needed part of his stock in trade a reference library.” Nearly a century later, the internet has dampened the need for any individual artist to collect a libraries-worth of physical reference material. Nevertheless, we here in Special Collections aspire to encourage the next generation of artists to find inspiration in print materials.

Published in 1929 for the SchoolArts Magazine by Davis Press in Worcester, Massachusetts, the Artist’s Scrap Book collects the twelve-page forward in a portfolio with loose plates. Originally consisting of 104 plates, our copy has been missing ten plates since at least the early 70s. The plates are loaded with images, sometimes rather loosely associated with plate name (the “Busy Women” plate, for example, shows a woman busy examining herself in a hand mirror, and two women busily playing the harp). The forward contains dozens of brief descriptions of methods for utilizing the images (e.g. batik, linocut, appliqué, gesso) and examples of how an image can be utilized in a wide variety of applications (as in image ten above). Many of the images are sourced, with permission, from the Curtis Publishing Company’s roster of publications, most notably from the Ladies Home Journal.

SchoolArts Magazine, originally published under the name The Applied Arts Book, was founded in 1901 to provide arts educators with a periodical that supported arts curriculum development. Gilbert Gates Davis, already an established printer in Worcester, was approached by members of the Worcester Applied Arts Guild to contribute to the project. Davis, believing wholeheartedly in their mission, established the publishing arm of his business to support publication of the magazine. Lemos took over as editor-in-chief of the magazine in 1919 and stayed in the position until 1950. Under Lemos’ influence, Davis Publications expanded their publication of resource books, many written by Lemos himself. Davis Publications has published SchoolArts Magazine continuously since 1901, currently producing 10 issues a year. The firm has also stayed in the Davis family for five generations, currently helmed by Julian Davis, Gilbert’s great-great-grandson.

Untitled abstract 2021

Hand embroidery, canvas

94.4 x 32 cm

Lyubov Kulik (born 1945) is an artist from Grozny. For a long time she was in charge of the Department of History of Religion and Atheism at the Chechen-Ingush Museum of Local Lore, and after retirement, she began to devote all her free time to hand embroidery and woodcarving. The artist works with textile ornaments that combine traditional folk motifs and the heritage of the Russian avant-garde of the early XX century. Lyubov Kulik transforms and reinterprets the technique of decorative and applied crafts in a psychedelic way. The artist creates ornaments "for good luck", placing wishes on the back of her works. In 2021, she took part in an exhibition at the Museum of Moscow.

I saw this idea somewhere online and being a cheapskate I am (and also having gay audacity™️) I decided that I don't want to spend gods know how much money but I'd rather diy it.

So now I present to you my wonderful Friends inspired key hook that brings me joy every time I come back home! I made it out of a wooden box, craft foam, sticky metal hooks and some random bits and bobs that I had lying around my drawers. I am extremely happy with the paintjob that helped it look complete.
