| August 11th, 2009 | Cuban Modern Artistry in the Last Century |
Cuban-style art is a diverse ethnic merging of American, African and European aesthetic design telegraphing the diverse population make-up of Cuba. Cuban creatives espoused European modernism and the 1920-1950 era saw an increase in Cuban modernist trends; these movements were characterized by a potpourri of contemporary artistic genres. Some of the more celebrated 20th century Cuban artists were likely to hail from the early part of the 20th century. Arguably the most well-known art (of sorts) to hail from the island of Cuba was THAT picture of a certain Che Guevara (photo by Alberto Korda) which actually became possibly one of the most distinctive photos of the previous century. The indigenous Cuban artist movement accumulated momentum following the opening of the the art academy (San Alejandro) back in 1818, which was constructed to fulfil the European penchant of the bourgeoisie population of Cuba. Towards the end of the 1800s, landscape paintings were very representative within the Cuban art movement and classicism prevailed as the main art genre. Nonetheless, the pioneering Cuban modern artists of the 1920s had spurned the academic norms of Cuba’s national art academy. In their genesis, many artists had resided in Paris, where they studied and assimilated the founding rules of surrealism, cubism, and modernist primitivism. Once back in Cuba, they became committed to ground-breaking artistic methods and were keen to merge this new aesthetic leaning with a Cuban twist. The vanguardia artists achieved global acclaim back in 2003 when the MOMA presented the the Modern Cuban Painting show. Posted in Being Creative | Comments Off

| April 24th, 2008 | Molding Leather Armor |
In order to mould leather armor, soak it in water until it becomes pliable and soft. Then place it in the mould until it dries and hardens. Cuir Bouilli The application of heat will make the leather harder. If you were making a cover for a shield, for example, or other pieces of leather amour, the leather would be dipped quickly in boiling water before being moulded. This is called ‘cuir bouilli’, a process employed in making leather armor. Using vegetable tanned leather with at least a weight of 8 ounces, soak the piece in cold water. This will ensure a uniform absorption when the leather armor is placed in the boiling water. Heat a pot of water to 180 degrees Fahrenheit, then immerse the wet leather for approximately thirty seconds to a minute, until it darkens and begins to curl. Remove the leather from the water and stretch it around the mould you have prepared, tacking it in place. Allow for shrinkage if you are cutting the leather armor from a pattern. Of course you can water-harden a larger piece of leather, flatten it under a cutting board, and then cut out the individual pieces of leather armor you want, and then mould them to the desired shape. At this stage it will be very stretchy. The boiling process makes the leather armor thicker and harder, with a degree of shrinkage dependent upon the leather itself and the amount of immersion time. The longer it remains in the water, the more pronounced the effects. A twenty second immersion can result in a shrinkage of 7/8s, with a thickening of 25%, while a forty second immersion results in a 2/3rds shrinkage and a doubling of the thickness. As in any aspect of leather working, it is best to experiment with scrap pieces of leather first to get the effect you want. Types of Moulds / Single Mould Moulds can consist of one or more pieces. Folding the leather around the actual object for which a cover is being made, where the mould is the object, is an option when making a case for a gun, an arm guard in archery, a sheaf for a knife or eye-caps for binoculars. Use tacks to hold it in place while it dries. A Two-piece Mould A two-piece mould acts like two slices of bread, with the leather being the sandwich filling. In this way, leather armor shields were made. The leather armor is left in the mould until it dries. A Three-piece Mould A three-piece mould allows the creation of items like bags and eyeglass cases without using a gusset. The leather is sewn on three sides. Two pieces of the mould are inserted on either side of the interior of the wet leather, and then a wedge is driven between the middle. The forms are left until the leather is dried. Tools to Use * Wooden mould * Brass or steel tacks Summary * Make a mould to form the leather to the desired shape * Wet the leather * One piece mould: fit the wet leather armor over the mould * Two piece mould: sandwich the leather between the mould * Three piece mould: fit the pieces inside the leather * Leave the leather armor to dry before removing Hey!
