From Charlie Parker to Jackson Pollock to Ducati
Posted by: Kitch Design on 13th Nov 2009 in Opinion
Thank you to all of you who attended my CPD lecture at KLC School Of Design in Chelsea last night. For those of you who couldn't make it, here's a selection of the images, in no particular order, to give you a flavour...
1.
Oi music industry! Stop going on about how radical punk was! Can you imagine what it must have been like to hear the likes of Charlie Parker's Ornithology or Yardbird Suite for the first time? And that was in the mid 1940's!
2.
On the left is a monument to the human condition, the true meanings of which will forever remain a mystery. On the right are some examples of beautiful architecture, stunning in their simplicity...
3.
The above is a good example of successful industrial design. Easy to understand, easy to operate and good value for money.
4.
I'll give you 10 points if you can tell me what is going on in this picture of home-grown British street fashion, and a further 10 bonus points if you can tell me the make and model of the machine on which all those lamps sit.
5.
From the profound to the profane, Michelangelo and Jeff Koons.
6.
This is a new piece of sculpture and for my money a potential Turner Prize winner.
7.
It is very wonderful world indeed, especially for having had this man open up the floodgates of human expression through music.
8.
Like Charlie Parker, Jackson Pollock turned it all upside-down. Action paintings and bebop retain their radical power in perpetuum
9.
This is not a motorcycle. It is an exquisite piece of sculpture.
10.
How to do a portrait. A 'Pooch Card' from Robert Connolly's Dumb Animal series, and Henry V by an unknown artist.
11.
A very fast piece of sculpture translated into a collectable toy.
12.
Harmon Kardon and Barbara Hepworth. Form really does follow function in both examples.

Charlie Parker graffiti around the time of his death: "Bird Lives!"
