“A Fair Thought” — Hamlet

"Creation is the birth of something, and
something cannot come from nothing."

See as well Peter Lindbergh's short film of
Emma Watson with goat and horse.

Art Space
Detail of an image in the previous post —
This suggests a review of a post on a work of art by fashion photographer
Peter Lindbergh, made when he was younger and known as "Sultan."
The balls in the foreground relate Sultan's work to my own.
Linguistic backstory —
The art space where the pieces by Talman and by Lindbergh
were displayed is Museum Tinguely in Basel.
As the previous post notes, the etymology of "glamour" (as in
fashion photography) has been linked to "grammar" (as in
George Steiner's Grammars of Creation ). A sculpture by
Tinguely (fancifully representing Heidegger) adorns one edition
of Grammars .

Strike a Pose
Online Vogue today —
"For the first time, an exhibition at the Kunsthal Rotterdam—
'Peter Lindbergh: A Different Vision on Fashion Photography'—
will offer a robust survey of the photographer’s opus."
I find Lindbergh's early work as "Sultan" more interesting.

Grammar and Patterns
"May, / The months [sic ] of understanding" — Wallace Stevens

"If pure mathematics does spring from sub-conscious intuitions— already deep-structured as are grammatical patterns in the transformational-generative theory of language?— if the algebraic operation arises from wholly internalized pattern-weaving, how then can it, at so many points, mesh with, correspond to, the material forms of the world?"
— Steiner, George. Grammars of Creation |
Good question.
See Bedtime Story (Sept. 1, 2016).

The Lindbergh Manifesto
"Creation is the birth of something, and
something cannot come from nothing."
— Photographer Peter Lindbergh at his website
From a biography of Lindbergh —
"… it took Lindbergh awhile to find his true métier.
Born in Krefeld, Germany, in 1944….
Barely out of his teens, he became a painter who
embraced conceptual art and — for reasons he
has since forgotten — adopted the professional
name « Sultan. » Lindbergh… was a few years
short of his 30th birthday when he turned to
photography…."
— "The Man Who Loves Women," by Pamela Young,
Toronto Globe & Mail , September 19, 1996
A Lindbergh work (at right below) from his conceptual-art days —

above "Mono Type 1" of Lindbergh, see…
