A Lost Art


I'm in one of those moods today. My question to you bloggers and blog readers of the world is, is this art? I think it is. Yes, I remember from art school that something you find that is artful is found art.

I found this clip of old-style handwriting at the Palm Desert Historical Society Museum. There was a huge table-sized scrapbook that detailed resort life and that was almost all handwritten. I decided that if I framed a piece of the page so that only part of the handwriting showed up in the frame it would make a cool image.

So what does all this mean a picture of a scrap of cursive? It's a throwback to a simpler era, where computers didn't make prose, people did.
