Ethnography -- “the study and systematic recording of human
cultures” of Rubber Stamp Artists
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page report discusses
ethnography and serves as an ethnographic report of the unique
“social world” of artists who create their art with rubber
stamps. The ethnographic review of one person’s particular
“social world” can be considerably simplified when one thinks
more of the many passions most people hold and those in which
they participate in that passion with a group of fellow
enthusiasts, fans, creators, collectors. Or, they are members of
distinct ethnic, religious, cultural, or social groups. In other
words, people who are brought together and connected in ways that
they have chosen rather than groups of people who are born into a
certain group. Such factors as a common activity, unique
vocabulary, socialization, identities, and relationships are
considered in the context of rubber stamp artists. Bibliography
lists 6 sources.

Graphic Artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the art of this graphic designer. The quadrille was but one of the components of the lively Paris nightlife found in Montmartre at the end of the 19th century. It provided Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) with a beginning point for public display of his artwork in the form of posters for Moulin Rouge, Jane Avril, May Belfort, Chocolat, La Goulue, and Yvette Guilbert. In return, Toulouse-Lautrec gave Montmartre and its performers a taste of immortality while giving rise to the “can-can,” the American Burlesque version of the risqué quadrille forms performed in Paris nightclubs during the “gay 90s,” the final decade of the 19th century. Along the way, he created advertising art that persists more as art than as advertising more than a century after his death. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
