For the nerds among us, there is the subset of ASCII Art - creating images using characters available on a computer keyboard. For instance, here is Michelangelo's David: http://www.textfiles.com/art/david.art. Though some images were large and elaborate, possibly even converted from actual photos, much of the art was used in email signatues; these cows were very popular: http://www.instinct.org/cows/ascii-cows1.html. --Heather Heather Cleary Digital Projects and Metadata Librarian Otis College of Art and Design 9045 Lincoln Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90045 Phone 310 665 6926 Website http://blogs.otis.edu/vrclib/ Email [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ________________________________ From: ART LIBRARIES SOCIETY DISCUSSION LIST [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Chillman, Helen Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 10:46 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] term for a type of drawing or graphic image?

Hello, I am not convinced that words like mosiac and collage should be co-opted for this specific sub-section of artwork that you are asking about. Here are my thoughts: I have studied Chinese painting and wish that I had written my thesis proving that the Chinese masters inspired the European impressionists. This work that you are describing feels like a modern take on impressionism, pointalism, and the like. Chuck Close was not the first person to create pixelated artwork (that's a way to describe it) - but he did inspire the commercial craze of creating images that are composed of smaller, individual images. Why create a word when you can just describe them that way? Please also check out the work of Ayakoh Furukawa. see the "Text Drawing" section of her website: http://www.ayakohfurukawa.net/ . This work is described by her galleries as text-based drawing. -- Sara Henderson, Assistant Director Asian American Arts Centre 111 Norfolk St. NY, NY 10002 o: 212.233.2154 c: 347.464.8398 artasiamerica.org On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 11:56 AM, Haines, Annette <[log in to unmask]> wrote: In addition to Jill's suggestions, perhaps the term mosaic?

Jill Timm Mystical Places Press www.mysticalplaces.com Publisher of Artist Book News www.artistbooknews.com -----Original Message----- I'm hoping that the collective wisdom of arlis colleagues will have an answer to this: I've been trying to find examples of images or drawings where the image, perhaps a face or figure, is made up of multiples of small images like letters, words, or figures, etc. Is there a term or label for such images? Or a more precise description for them? If you can point me to any examples, or names of artists (probably graphic artists in advertising or commercial art?), I would appreciate it.
