“Mother and Child”
The stained glass dog art version of the famous photo taken in 1966 for LIFE Magazine of a puppy Basset Hound pulling the ear of it’s Mother. Signed by the artist Holly Klay, this Basset Hound art utilizes light opaque glass for both dogs and clear textured glass with swirls for the background.
This is a large Basset Hound art piece, measuring 20″ X 13″, and is beautifully framed using lightweight zinc with a chain that can be adjusted according to your hanging needs.
Available at Dog Art Dog, which also features art celebrating yorkies, chihuahuas, spaniels, shepherds, corgis, westies, and weimaraners.
This is the cover of a Disney book from the mid 50s (56-57), companion to a short film. I haven’t seen it myself, but I’d like to. Matt Springer describes it:
It’s one of the things that made me so interested in physics. Well, actually I suppose the cover looks more Russian Constructivist, but I’m no art critic. The interior contains a solidly Art Deco inspired Futurist aesthetic. That’s what today was supposed to look like back then. The science in the book is quite solid as well. In fact, I’d like to scan some of the pages and write a series of posts on it. It really did manage to inspire a sense of wonderment, which is pretty amazing for a book about the history and applications of atomic physics. Will we ever see that kind of optimistic vision of science again?
I think I want my next car to be a Tesla (the car car they are developing, not the sled they are marketing now). What does this say about me?
