ITHACA

As you set out for Ithaca
hope that your journey is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.

Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
angry Poseidon – do not be afraid of them:
you’ll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare sensation
touches your spirit and your body.

Laistrygonians and Cyclops,
wild Poseidon – you won’t encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope that your journey is a long one.
May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you come into harbors seen for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind -
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to learn and learn again from those who know.

Keep Ithaca always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you’re destined for.
But do not hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so that you’re old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.

Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you would not have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaca won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you will have understood by then what these Ithacas mean.

When finding an art print for an hard to decorate room like a long hall or bathroom, be sure and look at the style and the scale of the image that is in the art print. If you have a room that you would like to liven up, try something that has big imagery perhaps an abstract with lots of color and brush strokes or texture.

If you have some area that you would like to make more intimate, try using images that might be smaller and more detailed like print reproduction of an antique advertising poster. Using the scale of the images in the art print is a very effective tool in creating the effect that you want in the room that you are decorating.

Vintage Ad Posters Taking The Place Of Paintings As Wall Art

Vintage advertising posters have been seen on walls where fine art used to hang.
This is quite a turn for posters churned out on newsprint to last a few colorful weeks on a wall or Paris kiosk to promote an event or product. As the first modern mass advertising medium, which had its heyday from the 1880s through the 1950s, the ones that survived are striking, with strong graphics aimed at delivering a punch to passers-by.

Outdoor wall art

“The great thing about posters is that they are accidental art,” said Nicholas Lowry, president of Swann Galleries. “They’re not made to be saved. It’s meant to be advertising, to be rained on, torn down or plastered over. That’s the beauty of it.”
“It’s beautiful graphic design and social history at the same time,” added Gail Chisholm, who runs Chisholm Gallery in New York. “Prices have gone up enough that I should have just stayed a collector.”
It’s the uncommon advertising posters from Art Nouveau (1890-1914) and Art Deco (1925-1940s) periods that have made huge leaps in worth over the last 10 years.

The highest price ever paid for a vintage poster was $250,000 designed by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The poster sold at Poster Auction in New York in 1999.
Lautrec’s painting, “L’Abandon ou les deux amies,” sold for $8.5 million. Artists like him also produced fine lithographic prints in limited editions for the art market.

“The artistic talent expressed in his prints is the same as that expressed in his poster design work. So posters are a relative bargain,” said Louis Bixenman, director of the International Vintage Poster Fair in New York.

Collectors usually specialize in categories including Art Nouveau, with its writhing plant forms and maidens with flowing hair; and Art Deco, with stylish, geometric graphics.
We have reproductions of early 20th century posters by Leonetto Cappiello, whose work advertised Campari, Cinzano and other products. We also have reproductions of posters by Jules Cheret,. His original posters cost $8,000 to $10,000.

Movie posters are a separate class, with even higher record prices fueled by the fan base of a celebrity rather than the art design itself.

While the originals can be found -although at high prices- the reproductions are taking over more of the market for the everyday person. They love the image, the vibrant colors, the scenery the message that the posters give, they don’t care if it is an original or not!

Here is where the reproductions come in for all of us who can’t afford the “real deal” and are more interested in the art and the look then the antique value.
