Still Life

Once again through the eye of the Harinezumi,
the non-quality becomes the quality.

"Still Life" fits in lyrically, and visually with these
memories. Additional photos from Canon Powershot

I use to carry around everywhere,
making it a pretty roughed up, but handy device.

György Kepes
(October 4, 1906 – December 29, 2001)
was a Hungarian-born painter, designer, educator and art theorist. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1937, he taught design at the New Bauhaus (later the School of Design, then Institute of Design, then Illinois Institute of Design or IIT) in Chicago. In 1967 He founded the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he taught until his retirement in 1974.

Kepes grandson, Nico Stone, grew up with Mark and Omar
and we were lucky enough to stay at his Cape house last October.
An event which we gleaned much inspiration,
although having just now sharing it with you.
Omar was working on his EP to be out that spring,
and spring we wished it was.
The fire helped warm our toes,
while the atmosphere eased our minds and souls.

“György Kepes was the greatest pioneer in the marriage of

art and technology in America, if not the world.

He was a visionary, a towering intellect and a breathtaking artist.

He single-handedly created the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT and turned it into an internationally acclaimed program for the development of the finest in late 20th-century art.

His work will endure for many centuries to come,”

— Alan Brody, associate provost for the arts (MIT CAVS).

Nico Stone continues to build upon his grandfather's foundation both in additional construction of the family house in the New Bauhaus style, and the family reputation of great artistry and intelligence.
