Welcome to the social design: loose lessons from the stylized representation of the social in cinema and print. A blog very often about the interior design, fashion, social manners, and music created for and reflected in vintage cinema and print. Especially from the Sixties and Seventies, especially Italian, and especially from swingin' party scenes. We're awfully big on disco hippies and the OpArt accent here. Guaranteed, of course, to wander off on the occasional tangent into (maybe?) related subject matter, with plenty of tongue-in-cheek commentary for your consideration along the way. Comments are welcome, so please consider yourself invited...

THE POUR PAINTINGS OF HOLTON ROWER

Thirsty for color? Consider the wonderfully psychedelic "pour paintings" of artist Holton Rower. Working out of New York, Rower pours on layer after layer of acrylic paint to create these lively, curvilinear compositions. Each is about as rich as one can get with fabulous color. The disco hippies crashed around your pad are definitely going to drink it up. Probably a lot like dropping acid and shopping at Paul Smith, too.
