On The Tōkaidō

Perhaps the Editor is feeling generous. 

Flipped Again mentioned The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō by Ukiyo-e artist Hirosage but didn't bother to post a picture on the Toward Japonism post. 

The Tōkaidō was the main road from Shogunate-controlled Edo to the Imperial city of Kyoto.

36th station : Akasaka 1832

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright collected Hiroshige's prints. 

He described his prints as some of "the most valuable contributions ever made to the art of the world."

Iconic Photo!

LIFE magazine admonished its 

readers for remembering the picture

Flipped Again forgot to post.

"For countless people around the world, including 

photography buffs who really ought to know better,

 Smith’s Guardia Civil photograph is 

the Spanish Village essay."

Have no fear of perfection. 

You'll never reach it.

Editor's Note -- 

Happy Last Blog Post of 2013!

Flippantly Festive!

Editor's note -- Here is the lovely Carmen dell'Orefice at 15 years old as photographed by Erwin Blumenfeld. She was one of his favorite models.

Unlike Flipped Again, this blog is not critical of artistic license and certainly not that taken by Erwin Blumenfeld! 

Merry Christmas to all! 

Especially Cara H, Pansi Barbee, Tempest Nightingale LeTrope, Koni Ramm, Faycin A Croud and Rose LeMort! 

Marvelous Marge

Editor's note -- "Here is Marge Simpson as Carmen dell'Orefice jumping over a puddle in the street with an umbrella, by Richard Avedon, 1957."

At 82, Carmen dell'Orefice is known in the fashion industry as the world's oldest working model.

FLIPPANTLY FLORIDA reminds Flipped Again that this blog is older than your blog!!!

Freedom from Rockwell

Editor's note -- Here is the example of parody and satire of Norman Rockwell's iconic Freedom From Want. See Rockwell Idealism at FLIPPED AGAIN for an example of the original. 

The Simpsons is a satirical parody of a middle class American lifestyle epitomized by Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
