Putting time in this weekend to clear the backlog… I have +200 #midcentury garage doors sitting in a folder waiting to be posted to IG. We GOING FOR IT!

My dream is to compile a #coffee table #book of the best door photos. There’s so much to say… how oddly personal the project has become, how we’ve watched many doors we photographed get replaced the last 2yrs. It’s IMO probably the best project I’ve ever done

Finding his way... Philip Evergood (1901-1973), "Self Portrait with Divining Rod," 1954, oil on board, private collection. A Social Realist who also became one of the leading Modernists of the 20th century, Evergood was “a figurative painter when much of the art world placed greater value on abstraction.”

For nearly 80 years after O’Keeffe’s MoMA retrospective, the museum didn’t pay her much attention. Now, it's refocusing on her penchant for repeating images as a “serial practice"—by pushing her motifs toward abstraction or exploring different materials. But does MoMA really need to reestablish O'Keeffe's Modernist bonafides?

Saw this #midcentury house on Instagram. I was thinking how it was my dream home, then noticed in the comments that it was created by AI. You can’t believe everything you see anymore 😒

I found this weather-worn hood ornament on the hood of a weather-worn junkyard Jaguar from circa the mid-1960s. Look closely and you'll see that the jaguar's tail is missing its curling tip, as well as the glorious patina of rust on the car over which the ornament keeps watch. See it in print and other forms here:

Here's a photo I took of a midcentury Kodak Duaflex IV camera from my collection in a clean, dramatic, graphic style, available in print and other forms here: https://jon-woodhams.pixels.com/featured/kodak-duaflex-iv-camera-jon-woodhams.html #Monochrome #Photography #PhotographyIsArt #AYearForArt #MastoArt #SpringIntoArt #BuyIntoArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #Midcentury #IndustrialDesign #ArtForInteriorDesign #TheArtDistrict

Who the heck bought all of that mid-century furniture when it was new, anyway? Hyperallergic takes a look. (Hint: most of the modern designers were male & white.) More complex, the meaning of these designs can be found in how the designs were advertised, how they were used to advertise other products, and how they appeared in the media. https://hyperallergic.com/639763/mid-century-modernism-racial-history/?fbclid=IwAR1dKE4Ll6m2-vzYWOAM4QfCioXa4lwTo8lCAjM6tHlmi0vOXug3cmbdU78

Lithograph for TWA [ca. 1960]

Love the mid-century aesthetic here, if not the glamorization of some of the souces of global warming/climate crisis. As ephemera, though, this one dazzles.

Stylized depiction of New York City showing layered panels of translucent bright colors over shadowed silhouettes of buildings and highrises. Starburst shapes and thin wavy lines near the bottom suggest the movement of cars, while a jetliner flies far overhead.
The poster says New York, Fly TWA.

I really dislike pinning a #quilt sandwich, but my little cat needs a sleeping pad. This pad is way to small to put on the long arm, so old school I go.

Many #jazz album covers of the 1950s & 60s became #design classics. They defined the period; they characterised what it meant to be 'cool' and 'sophisticated'. Just think of labels such as Prestige, Blue Note, Columbia, and others...

...but then along came the 1970s / 80s /90s. And things went very *very* wrong...

Did a nice hike from one end of Glen Canyon to the other (uphill) in San Francisco. It’s a beautiful natural setting in the middle of the city.

The edge of the park is bordered by very modern looking homes that were part of a postwar Redevelopment project - a rare one on completely undeveloped land. Read more about Joseph Eichler’s role in this “suburb in the middle of the city.”

Broke af years ago, digging thru a church store for vintage kitchen design to toss on eBay. I found this c '55 multi media on paper by the France-then-Mexico-city poet and proto abstract expressionist Alice Rahon (was phillipot). Friend of Frida Kahlo, Henry Miller, Andre Breton.... It was priced at just a few dollars given that it was apparently made by somebody's kid at the kitchen table and left there too long. Eventually sold it to a collector back in CDMX for several hundred. #midcentury

Oh! An #introduction you want? Uh, I'm Maia, simultaneously an elder millennial and a Boomer, purveyor of opinions about things you may never have heard of (though with all the #histodon presence I may find someone who's into more contemporary history nodding along) (in case you're wondering, I'm a #midcentury ho but my fashion sense stretches back as far as 1916). Cagey about offline life on purpose.

Also, anti-racist, pro-repro rights, pro-trans, pro #DEIB in general and am I the first to hashtag that?! Can't be. Demiromantic, probably greysexual though that could just be the trauma talking.

Distinctly unused to having this much room to talk.
