From 1991-1992 Suzanne Treister made fictional video game stills using Deluxe Paint II, and took photos of them. The original floppies are corrupt(!) so only the photographs remain! Amazing example of computer art from this era, predating the glitch art of today by decades. pic.twitter.com/7XHeCm0BtP— brandon sheffield (@necrosofty) April 21, 2020

Thankyou.

The artist of the Leskov cover is Ildar Zaripov and the painting translates as Zulfiya, Kazan beauty (1975). I don't think he's well known, at least outside Russia, and I haven't been able to find reference to the painting outside the Penguin cover. I only found it out because the relevant page is on Google Books.
― Alba, Sunday, 7 August 2022 19:42 (two years ago) link
You can find a bit more about him online if you search by his name in Cyrillic: Ильдара Зарипова
― Alba, Sunday, 7 August 2022 19:44 (two years ago) link
Thankyou very much. The style looked very familiar so I just assumed I knew the artist but I didn't. And on searching Zaripov, nothing else really looks like that painting.

Noriyoshi Ohrai - Green Universe
His books aren't easy to find so I was happy to find this even though it was expensive. He might be most famous for his Goonies and Godzilla posters (I think the former was used around the world) but he did so much more. He can do just about anything Drew Struzan and Frank Frazetta can do and more. There's Star Wars, samurai and disaster movie posters; extremely realistic cigarette adverts and portraits of actors and politicians; immense battleships of sea and space; covers for Koei games, military history books, men's adventure, manly genres in general, Kazumasa Hirai (Wolf Guy and Genma Taisen), EE Doc Smith, Isaac Asimov, Dan Simmons, some book covers reminiscent of Jack Davis film posters, and some books that look remarkably like Metal Gear Solid (Hideo Kojima said his art was a big influence and got him to make a few images for MGS). I'm sure the contents of most of these books were a comedown.
My favorite thing in the book was the section on his SF Adventure magazine covers. I don't know why he did this or if it was his own idea but he taken famous women from ancient history (although I'm pretty sure one of them is Marie Curie) and made them look like glamour models doing fashion shoots, often dressing like Dejah Thoris. The color combinations are really strong and there's usually a mix of different time periods in each image, pieces of the past and a science fictional future. When you pick them apart they're really daft but I think they're probably his best work.
This book is a dazzler but he's done so much more and there's never been an english language art book and Taschen should get on that as soon as possible.

David G. Goodman - Angura: Posters Of The Japanese Avant-Garde
This is specifically posters for theatre from 60s-70s. It's a very slim book but an interesting overview of the time, along with the posters and there's photos of performances. There's a lot of focus on the rejection of modernism and designs that would be internationally accessible, because they wanted to reclaim things like the disreputable side of Kabuki and other parts of japanese culture that were getting buried. We also see what parts of western culture they were embracing.
Some of it leans towards psychedelic, some photo collage and there's several famous manga artists. My favorite is Oikawa Masamichi because of his detailed rendering style. Goodman gives commentary for each poster and he sees lots of sexual symbolism I don't. There's a bibliography at the back including plays that have been translated into english (this book is from 1999 though).
I know next to nothing about avant-garde theatre but I was intrigued by the ideas: distinctions between very different seeming things fading into chaos; a play's second act having a real bus journey that takes the audience to an apartment to interview the people who live there; a Shuji Terayama play that none of the audience gets to see the whole of, so the different segments of the audience has to share what happened in the parts they did see to construct the whole story.

Re: Heizer's City, has anyone seen any reports from anyone who has visited it? As far as I know it opened in early September, but I can't find anything except a YouTube video of some dudes who attempted to go there and skateboard on it (obv that didn't work out for them).

Questionable thread to put this in but I couldn't think of a better thread: The Last Family (2016), a biopic about Zdzislaw Beksinski and his family (his radio DJ/music critic/translator son Tomasz gets the second most attention) is great, doesn't follow the usual biopic patterns either (or I didn't notice them). Great to hear Pieter Nooten & Michael Brook in a film too, great choice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfFt9RfO9Bc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E8iRbVqF3gLovely documentary about Leonor Fini from 1987. I haven't seen many things like this for artists I'm so fond of. I have no idea what kind of percentage of her work is available online and in books in one handy place because it seems like there was probably hundreds and hundreds of stuff. She shows her phone doodles and they're mostly cat people, the cat men in wrestling pants made me laugh.

During lockdown, I got a bit addicted to Sotheby's and Christie's Youtube channels, the auctions can make you a bit queasy but before each auction livestream they often float out these short films, dedicated to the painter and painting for sale, and they can be very illuminating.
