It wasn't so much finding beauty or meaning in everyday things,…mehr

A year of observation and reflection. Of snapshots, soundbites, and tiny stories. Of k¿ans, riddles, and magic tricks. Of meditations and revelations. A year of haiku. Artist, writer, designer, and musician Jeff Mellin shares his year-long project to chronicle, in both words and images, the micro-moments of day-to-day life raising his three young boys. "In a sense, writing the year of haiku was like taking photographs without a camera. I learned to see these haiku moments around me, wherever I was, because I told myself I had to. It wasn't so much finding beauty or meaning in everyday things, but knowing I could find beautiful or meaningful things everyday." Illustrated with 60 black & white photographs.

A key figure in the Pre-Raphaelite, Arts & Crafts, and Aesthetic movements, he championed traditional, anti-industrial, and decorative arts. His Le Chant d'Amour, a serendipitous match for this lyric, was actually inspired by an old Breton folk lyric: Alas, I know a love song, / Sad or happy, each in turn. He painted several versions - the earliest, oddly enough, on the inside lid of his upright piano. The nature illustrations, initials, cover, and paper are adapted from the Book of Flower Studies, a 16th-century illuminated catalog, likely a model for works for Queen Claude de France. Though the images were painted in witness to their inherent beauty, not gathered merely for their symbolism, they can, as in dreams, have meaning, if you like. Both pieces appear courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access Artworks Collection, a literal treasure trove of art and artifacts from ancient to modern, generously made available for public use, exploration, and inspiration.
