Old School Political Art, Circa 1830s, at the Cantor Arts Center: Visual Arts Art Review By Ben Marks | Aug 15, 2012 Honoré Daumier, The past, the present, the future, 1834. There's been a lot of buzz lately, at least among people I talk to, about a pair of exhibitions focusing on the protest art of Occupy and the graphics that accompanied the social-justice movement of the 1960s. I wrote about the connection between the artwork produced by these two movements back in March for Collectors Weekly, but after seeing When Artists Attack the King: Honoré Daumier and La Caricature, 1830–1835, now through November 11, 2012, at the Cantor Art Center on the Stanford campus, I'm beginning to think I didn't go back far enough. Honoré Daumier, Don't You Meddle with It!! On view are 50 pieces of ephemera and lithographs disseminated in journals such as La Caricature, which was a persistent thorn in the side of Louis-Philippe I of France, who assumed the throne after the Revolution of 1830. Charles Joseph Traviès de Villers, Royal Theatre of Marionettes, 1834. More on Visual Arts

untitled The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating. She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. Natsumi has a way of making us feel as though she naturally levitates throughout life. When I asked her how others react to her jumping around Tokyo, here is a funny story that she shared. "So I stopped jumping and apologized to them by saying, 'I am taking jumping photos for my wedding party's slide show.' "Then, I took one of the best levitation shots of the entire series." "We are all surrounded by social stress as we are bound by the forces of earth's gravity," Natsumi says when asked why she took on the series. Natsumi Hayashi's website

These beautifully constructed works are made up of interlacing positive and negative spaces that seem to “float” in a fabricated suspension. He begins with a drawing, this helps him create the complex range of imagery needed to make a workable design, before cutting and assembling the paper pieces.
