All my photographs are made like that ~ responding to my intuition… After all these years, I am still motivated by the radiance that light creates when it transforms an object into something magical. What the eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black-and-white image is yet another transformation. What exactly exists, we may never know.” ~Ruth Bernhard</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/28887758815http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/28887758815Tue, 07 Aug 2012 00:23:04 -0400Ruth Bernhardlifesavers<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8dap5GnE71r29ptgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Metropolis (1927)</p> <p>Fritz Lang</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/28887553960http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/28887553960Tue, 07 Aug 2012 00:19:53 -0400Metropolis1927fritz lang<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8dan5rjMJ1r29ptgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Metropolis (1927)</p> <p>Fritz Lang</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/28887476986http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/28887476986Tue, 07 Aug 2012 00:18:41 -0400Metropolisfritz lang1927<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6q3yqZOHc1r29ptgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Claes Oldenburg, Swiss Army Knife Ship Superimposed on the Guggenheim Museum</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/26611953075http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/26611953075Fri, 06 Jul 2012 01:16:02 -0400claes oldenburgswiss army knifeguggenheim museum<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6q3umUQcM1r29ptgo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><h1 class="product-name">Scissors as Monument, Claes Oldenburg</h1></p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/26611821466http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/26611821466Fri, 06 Jul 2012 01:13:34 -0400scissorsclaes oldenburgwashington DC<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4c2hkjPK11r29ptgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>endeavour space shuttle</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/23426297815http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/23426297815Sun, 20 May 2012 14:10:31 -0400endeavourspace shuttlespace<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4c2fkJYYM1r29ptgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>endeavour space shuttle’s final landing</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/23426218655http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/23426218655Sun, 20 May 2012 14:09:19 -0400endeavourspace shuttlenasa<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4c2dr5ei11r29ptgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>endeavour space shuttle</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/23426151594http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/23426151594Sun, 20 May 2012 14:08:15 -0400endeavourspace shuttlenasa<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m45n81LcAn1r29ptgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>space shuttle hubble repair team</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/23218203018http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/23218203018Thu, 17 May 2012 02:55:12 -0400spacespace shuttlehubble<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m36alpnWwd1r29ptgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Honoré Daumier<br/><u>Masks of 1831,1832</u><br/> Lithograph<br/> 21.2 X 29 cm</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/21960578558http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/21960578558Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:46:37 -0400Honoré Daumiermasks<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m36acnTSVM1r29ptgo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span class="objAccessionNumber"><strong>Le Passé–Le Présent–L’Avenir (Past, Present, Future)</strong>, January 9, 1834<br/>Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–1879)<br/>Lithograph </span></p> <p><span class="objAccessionNumber"><br/></span>Daumier, who had served a prison term for a cartoon of 1831 depicting King Louis-Philippe as Rabelais’ Gargantua, made this lithograph for the January 9, 1834, issue of <em>La Caricature</em>, a political weekly begun by Charles Philipon in 1830 and closed by the government in 1835.</p>http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/21960315754http://architectureandsuits.tumblr.com/post/21960315754Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:41:00 -0400Honoré DaumierKing Louis-Philippe<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m36a8qFQai1r29ptgo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span class="objAccessionNumber"><strong>Council of War</strong>, 1872<br/>Honoré Daumier (French, 1808–1879)<br/>Lithograph </span></p> <p>Daumier scrutinized French politics with such grim, inextinguishable hope that his cartoons symbolize any crisis anywhere.
