Hayv Kahraman, Fashion in the UAE 11

It was really hard to select only ten images for this post of Hayv's work, so here's another one. Visit her website.



Hermann Finsterlin, Die Insel der Sirene, 1917

One of my favorite posts is Wandering from Organ to Organ with Hermann Finsterlin. Read those quotes!




Humoristische Karte von Europa im Jahre 1870




Map caricature

I cannot remember the name of the book the above two maps come from. It was a giant 1980s German-language book on caricature.



Jan Marcin Szancer, Proj. kostiumu nr 26 do "Symfonii Fantastycznej," watercolor, gouache

Intense work from Szancer, whose children's books I featured twice before.



Mervyn Peake, illus. for The adventures of the young soldier in search of the better world by C.E.M. Joad, 1943

Recommended purchase: Mervyn Peake: The Man and His Art (I don't think anything from this odd little book is included)

Printed in an edition of 400, this seems to be harder-to-find than many of Nielsen's books

Previous dives: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

A reminder that I'm now posting images on tumblr
