Ah Yes! Raymond Hains and Jacques de la
Villegle'.
In the 1950s this Nouveau Realistes duo began
making
photographs films and text pieces by replacing either
the
camera lens (Hypnagoscope, 1952) or their own
spectacles
(Lunettes en ver cannele', 1957) with ribbed
glass.
Hains once made the declaration:
Artists are leaving the creation of art to become
abstractions personified.
These are mostly their more collagey kind of work, but I
really like it.
there is one image from a performance, and one of the
optics inspired works,
though i think some of the collages are inspired by
wearing special lenses.

it was a pun on fauvism.. hence derain and
vlaminck..
foveal vision reminds me of those performance artists
who purposively distort
their own vision with harsh lenses helmets etc. can you
name some of the artists who have
worked by deliberately distorting their
own sensory perceptions using some kind
of instrument or peripheral. i can't think of any, but i
know there is a tradition of this.

Yes, I find that its easier for me to see changes in the
various transformations when I am working with an existing image that is
very familiar to me rather than with something new. And since I’m dealing
with issues of color here, what better source than one of the modern masters
of color, Matisse?
Faux
vision? Hm. Of course, there’s also foveal vision, which involves blurring.

I guess I was just a bit surpised
you'd left in some
recognizability, and was thinking there was something
to that. now why i
brought up the whole digitization thing is beyond me. i think in the
cluster
the wrong thought
altogether got expressed, my mind being much like a spasmodic swiss cheese
forgetting and
remembering simultaneously and the hairstyle even
reminds
me of a lautrec
image. no wait, .. I was thinking about "FAUX-VISM"
or faux-vision..
at any rate, you still have Derain and
Vlaminck..
