Craft and Kitsch - So Good That It's BAD
Stalin - a failed novice priest turned utilitarian economist, ( and Freud and Hitler- a failed artist ) were all in Loos's city at the same time.
Amazing work.
Thank you Dr. Salahub. Your concluding question is fantastic. I am a clothing designer, among other things, and have always shunned unnecessary bejewelment and buttons, zippers, etc. Unless absolutely critical to the functionality of the garment, I avoid 'ornaments'. The actual textile is 'the ornament'.
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you for sharing to all these craft artists!
Karen, you're every bit the inspiration I remember. I'm very happy to have watched this video.
I really enjoyed watching this. Thank you!
