Albert Gleizes (French, 1881-1953) :
Brooklyn Bridge, 1915

oil and sand on cardboard
58¼ x 47-3/8 in | 148.1 x 120.4 cm

Further description in the alt text 👇

Painted shortly after his arrival in New York, Gleizes's Brooklyn Bridge is a dynamic image of the iconic Manhattan landmark filled with the bustle and movement of a vibrant metropolis.

After his military service, Gleizes and his wife left France for New York. There, at a distance from the war, the influence of the New World took hold of the young idealist, and his art was immediately intoxicated by the sense of civic modernity that surrounded him, by the sheer scale of the great city. His art was filled with the landmarks and nightlife of New York, notably in several depictions of Brooklyn Bridge.

The contrast between the sweeping girders and the constant traffic traveling across the bridge were the perfect subject matter for a
Cubist interested in the interplay between people and technology.

Brooklyn Bridge, with its swirls of multicoloured structure and the concentric glare of headlights, is a raw yet lyrical image of dynamism itself. Even the scale of the work conspires to fill it with a monumentality that fully translates Gleizes's own admiration for his new surroundings.

From the minute he had landed, his presence in the United States filled his work with confidence. Brooklyn Bridge appears to be the first work in which Gleizes used sand in his painting, helping add texture to his work and making a scumbled, uneven surface reminiscent of the tarmac. He continued his dynamic compositional experiments for two years until 1917, culminating in a work entitled Huston Bridge which both in size and impact bears great similarities to the present work.

From 1917 onwards Gleizes continued with his own artistic vocabulary which had been forged in these crucial two years in America.

When I would hear about the art of Grimjack, people would always mention Tim Truman or Flint Henry, or both. No surprises there. They’re great.

What has caught me off guard reading the series is Tom Sutton. He has impressed with every single issue since he came on. This guy is fantastic.

Frederick (Rick) Jay Rubin, born March 10, 1963, is an American record producer. He is a co-founder of Def Jam Recordings, founder of American Recordings, and former co-president of Columbia Records.

Quote & career in the alt text 👇

Making art is a mystical process — a lot of people who are artists don’t understand it themselves. Especially the young ones. They feel different, but they don’t know what it is. They feel more.

Everything hurts. Everything. They’re supersensitive. They see things that other people don’t see. It can be crippling. For someone like Kurt Cobain, it can kill you.

~ Rick Rubin

In 2007, Rubin was called "the most important producer of the last 20 years" by MTV and was named on Time's 2007 list of the "100 Most Influential People in the World".

Rubin helped popularize hip hop by producing records for pioneering acts such as LL Cool J, the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, Public Enemy and Geto Boys.

He has also produced hit records for acts from a variety of other genres, such as pop (Kesha, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga), heavy metal (Danzig, Metallica, Slayer), alternative rock (The Cult, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, the Strokes, Weezer), hard rock (Audioslave, AC/DC, Aerosmith), nu metal (Linkin Park, System of a Down, Slipknot), and country (Johnny Cash, The Avett Brothers, the Chicks, Tyler Childers).

In 2021 he co-starred in the 6-part documentary miniseries McCartney 3,2,1 which explores the career of Paul McCartney.

I knew almost nothing about this Belgian comic, The Adventures of Blake & Mortimer, before picking this up at the used bookstore today, but I'm half way through & really enjoying it. I'll definitely be seeking out more of their adventures.
