At that time in my early 20th as I pretend to be a grown-up...
back then I worked as a tracer at a company which build structual works
for producing hollow glas in China... I drew elevation plans of buildings, detailing drawings and for machine installation etc. ...
...and at finishing time my plotting table were placed horizontal and cups were filled... more often glasses... or we barbecued on the roof-top terrace.
In that year I bought my first reflex camera...
(I have told you about her end at last week)... and exposed plenty of films... one year later I strived to a study of communication-design...
come to know the Blaue Reiter (the Blue Rider)... and besides Wassily Kandinsky the German expressionist painter Gabriele Münter and with her... the reverse glass painting.(I have told you about her end at last week)... and exposed plenty of films... one year later I strived to a study of communication-design...
This week's host of the dc is dear Susan with her theme glass. I create a reserve glass painting of a scene from Friday waterside.
... and of course... I own many glass ... for example:
And: For more glass of amazing artist around the world

Oh those days long ago when we thought we were grown up and had so much more growing to do! Beautiful glass. xo Carole
AntwortenLöschenGreat story Ariane
AntwortenLöschenI love that look into the unknown in your eyes in the top pic. I worked for an architect too.... and some of the vases look exactly like ones that I have. Its lovely to see and read your story we have a lit of similar taste and commonality.
Have a wonderful weekend
Helen :)
connecting past and present, time translucent like glass, some things a little vague, others like lighted, reflections,
AntwortenLöschenfun idea to try out an old technique,and not an easy one i suppose(have to try it once),
and thanks of bringing Gabriele Münter back to my memory
your photos always get me dreaming dear, x
Dear Renilde,
Löschentrying that old technique wasn't easy, for sure. I didn't use the right colour, oil would be the better choice... maybe next time.
Besides Gabriele Münter do you know Marianne Werefkin? Even a great artist!
Have a dreaming day
x A.
vor 20 jahren war ich das erstemal im gabriele münter-haus in murnau und war begeistert von den wunderschönen holzbemalungen und den hinterglasmalereien. sie sind wirklich fantastisch!
AntwortenLöschendein jugendfoto ist es auch, ebenso deine beeindruckende glassammlung.
liebe grüße, mano
Hi Ariane, interesting story. You had barbecue on the terrace in the days of work?. that would be a fun way to break the routine right?
AntwortenLöschennice to see your face, because you're usually behind a camera!
:)))))))))
Looking at the past though glass...
AntwortenLöschenglass is one of my favourite materials ( along with wood)
sounds like an interesting youth to me Arianne : )
All the pretty and colorful glass! I love your painting. I've have never tried this.
AntwortenLöschenAnd you in your early 20s. Such a great photo with your knowing and confident look.
I just spent time catching up with you! Where have I been? Here, just not on my computer!
I'm looking forward to next week's drawing challenge. I won't be so ambitious as to host, but will do my best to participate.
Love from California,
Rachel
What a collection of glass images and rose colors, too. O thank you for sharing Gabriele MUnter's work; it is refreshing to have a new abstract expressionist to show my painters—especially a woman. Your (self_ Portrait at the start of this post is elegant!
AntwortenLöschenAh, Ariane, you amaze me yet again with your stunning photos. I am interested to learn that you worked as a draftsman, which I have also done for many years. I must get my art history book out and revisit Gabriele Munter. happy week to you, dear Rose, sus
AntwortenLöschen...die Steinmischung in der Wasserkanne nennt sich übrigens Balancemischung, u.a. Rosenquarz. Nein, der Rand stört mich gar nicht ;)
AntwortenLöschenDas Foto von Dir ganz oben ist so schön!
x Stefanie
Damals hast du aber noch streng aus der Wäsche geguckt - mir gefällst du jetzt besser.
AntwortenLöschenDeine Glassammlung ist überwältigend. Man, dass hätte ich eher wissen müssen, ich hätte da auch noch ein paar... na, egal.
Barbara
Dear Ariane! How nice it is to get a glimpse into your creative and beautiful past...of your creative spirit soaring into dynamic projects, to hear of drinking glasses with friends on a rooftop.
AntwortenLöschenKandinsky is one of my favourite artists.
Your collection of pink and purple glass vases is stunning!
And, reverse glass painting is magic too. I have a book of Russian reverse glass painting of icons. It is pretty awesome.
Well, this post was pregnant with beauty. I enjoyed it tons. Hugs, Norma, x
reverse glass painting? i have not heard of it, can't imagine how it is done. intrigued i am.
AntwortenLöschenlovely to see you like this, in a different setting, in the past...

Hinterglasmalerei klingt spannend. Ich mag ja Transparenz und durchscheinendes Licht.
AntwortenLöschenUnd auch Deine Rückschau ist spannend...gucke immer so gern alte Bilder und atme den Geist der vergangenen Zeit!
