December 13th, 2009 admin

Matteo Pericoli is an Italian architect, illustrator and author. His drawings have appeared in numerous publications, including The New Yorker, The New York Times, Travel and Leisure and Conde Nast Traveller . He is known for his Manhattan Unfurled project, in which he drew two 37 foot (11 meter) long scrolls with detailed skylines of the East and West sides of Manhattan. The drawings took two years and encompassed over 1,500 buildings and 19 bridges. These were collected into a book, presented as a 24 panel, 22 foot (6.7 meter) long fold-out. You can see a very small scrolling version of them on Pericoli’s web site. Pericoli also did a 397 foot (121 meter) mural called Skyline of the World for The American Airlines terminal at JFK Airport, depicting an amalgamation of many of the…

I don’t normally feature photography on Lines and Colors, not that I don’t think of photography as an art form; I just feel that it’s dealt with better on many other sites, and seems different enough to be in a separate category from the art forms I feature. But the photographs of Michael Paul Smith just charmed my socks off,...

Hey Oscar Wilde! It’s Clobberin’ Time!
It’s a common practice among contemporary comics artists to do commissioned sketches or even fully realized drawings for fans and collectors. Often collectors will commission drawings by a number of artists on a single theme, and create over time a collection of themed works by an extensive and diverse list of creators. Such is the case...

Rome After Raphael
Old master drawings are a challenge for conservators. Fragile and damaged over time simply by exposure to light, drawings cannot be placed on permanent display, or even frequent display. Every period of exposure to light must be considered, in effect, a time subtracted from the life of the drawing. Also, drawings, even those by great masters,...

If, like me, you find yourself frequently frustrated with the relatively low resolution images provided by many museums and fine art sites; and tire of the frustrating little zoom windows that they provide for a “close up”, I have a suggestion for a site that you may not have considered. This site has nice large images of museum quality...

The good news is that since I last wrote about the wonderfully expressive and brilliantly realized illustrations of Tadahiro Uesugi back in 2005, many more examples of his work have been added to his web site . The bad news is that the site is still in frames and as awkward as ever to navigate. The domain name is simply a pointer to his original...
