Typography of the San Francisco MoMA : un album sur Flickr
by sbrothier
The SFMoMA is all about creating a space for modern art to live. But there's also a meta-layer to the art experience that comes from the aesthetic and conceptual life of the space itself – the colors, the architecture, the little design touches. These elements contribute to our experience of the art inside, but often operate below our cognitive awareness.
I decided to bring one of those meta-elements to the forefront of attention – the typography used inside the museum, on anything from exhibition signage to elevator buttons to restroom signs.
Werner Bischof: In the Court of the Meiji Temple, Tokyo, Japan (59.559.4) | Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art
by sbrothier
An early member of the Magnum photo agency (he was admitted in 1949), Bischof worked mostly in Asia. His early training in applied art and graphic design imbued him with a keen formal eye, which was consistently in evidence as he worked to document newsworthy events and experiences. Here he has captured the delicate furor of a heavy snowstorm while photographing monastic life at the Meiji temple in Tokyo.

Or, more accurately for my tastes, make museums like Monocle Magazine.

Musee Virtuel de l'Absinthe - Le Monde des Antiquites d'Absinthe
by sbrothier
Absinthe...la fée verte..."The Green Fairy"...aucune autre boisson n'a la même histoire romantique -
les impressionnistes Français...Toulouse Lautrec, Degas, Manet, Van Gogh...Paris à la Belle
Époque...les cafés de Montmartre...la muse des écrivains, de Baudelaire et Rimbaud à Joyce et
Hemingway. Évidemment, il y a aussi une face cachée: aucune boisson n'a suscité de condamnation
plus fervente, et aucune autre boisson n'a été entièrement interdite comme l'absinthe le fut en 1915.
