Harry Partch was an American musician, composer, inventor and author. Partch rejected the traditional Western twelve note scales and experimented with just intonation and microtonal music. Play virtual versions of Harry Partch’s fantastic microtonal instruments and listen to him explain thier creation and function at American Mavericks: Harry Partch’s Instruments.

William-Adolphe Bouguereau - French Illusionist genre painter who often used mythological characters as subjects for his life-sized paintings. I saw his painting Young Priestess at the Memorial Art Gallery last week. I am puzzled. Why has such a talented and prolific painter faded into obscurity? Gardner’s Art Through the Ages devotes but one very small paragraph to his painting Nymphs and Satyr.
While I was in Rochester, Cody drove me by the one Frank LLoyd Wright house there, the E.E. Boynton. The Library of Congress has a nice collection of historic photos of it here.

Chris Drury is a land artist who works in nature. His work River Styx was done during a one week stay at a Beech wood at Hiram College, Ohio. Drury was aided by students from the area. I like the idea of building a work using on site materials. Drury has done this often in the past, building shelters and organic sculptures in remote locations.

Alexander Brodsky is a conceptual artist/architect whose recent works include the Klyazama house and the Vodka Cermony Pavillion. Read more about Brodsky at metropolismag.com. I am interested in Brodsky’s use of environmental elements ie. ice, trees, etc. in his constructions. I am also intrigued by the manner in which his buildings are executed from sketches as opposed to blueprints.
