Green is More Than Just a Color in the Art Business
With the emphasis on “going green” on most people’s minds these days, Nadine and Glenn’s Original Lobster Trap Art is a pioneer in their industry. Located in the Florida Keys, they take old and unusable lobster traps and recycle them, creating unique weathered picture frames from the wood. Because the traps are underwater, the wood gets very rustic from not only the water, but the marine animals that live on the trap. The wood, which varies from fisherman to fisherman, ages differently, making each frame a unique piece of art.
Most of the traps have been used for over 5 seasons in the Florida Keys lobster business. The season runs from August 6th through April 1st each year. During the off season, the lobstermen repair the broken traps and remove any old wood that will not make it through the next season. This repair wood is also used to make the picture frames. Nadine and Glenn collect the loose wood from Key West to Key Largo every year. They store the wood slats in a large warehouse until it is needed to make the picture frames. They also collect the whole lobster traps that cannot be repaired. These whole traps are dismantled, and the wood is placed with the loose wood collected during the repair season. “By recycling the lobster pots, we keep the landfills from being the final resting place for these traps” explains Nadine Lahti, co-founder of the company.
Nadine and Glenn are also both artists and they put their original paintings in these nautical frames. “It is like getting 2 pieces of artwork in one!” according to Glenn Lahti, the other partner in the company. Nadine paints mostly birds, fish, and other animals that are indigenous to the Florida Keys. Her Blue Herons, Roseate Spoonbills, Egrets, Turtles, and other game fish are very detailed. Glenn, on the other hand, paints local seascapes and landscapes usually putting in at least one palm tree, his trademark. He has also done several of the Florida Keys reef lighthouses. To see pictures of these fabulous frames, and the tropical art of Nadine and Glenn, visit their website at www.lobstertrapart.com.

Fish in Art (Hardcover) $46.9 From the Dutch artist Jacob Gillig`s many still lifes to Renoir`s The Fish Monger and Manet`s Fishing, fish have inspired artists for thousands of years. They appear in the work of the old Dutch and Flemish masters as well as in the creations of French, English, and American painters. Yet the social and cultural significance of fishes` representation in art has been overlooked. Christine E. Jackson remedies this deficiency in Fish in Art, an original perspective on the artistic legacy of fish and the fishing industry.Surveying paintings from 2000 B.C. to the present, Jackson examines how representations of fish in art have evolved. She also delves into depictions of fish in kitchenware and tableware. Alongside her analysis of these artworks, she explores the social and historical issues that have engaged artists, including religious decrees on when to eat fish, the legacies of cod wars, and the rise and fall of particular ports. Widening her scope, she considers the ethics of catching fish and the ongoing industrial changes in the canning, ice, and salt industries, grounding her artistic study in the physical conditions of fishing and the fish trade, as well as the preparation, cooking, eating, and storage of these gilled creatures. Packed with over two hundred images, Fish in Art will capture the interest of fishermen, natural historians, and art students alike. |

Word Pictures $42.95 This book is the product of the editors’ collected submissions of work from the art therapy community. The poems, works of visual art, and accompanying essays presented herein are truths that have been experienced within the art therapy context. Each of the contributing poets in this work submitted three poems for consideration. Two art therapists were selected to evaluate these poems and select ten poems to receive visual art responses. Each poet’s section begins with a biographical sketch and a picture of the art therapist. A statement is given by each poet that serves to anchor and give context to the poet’s work. Preliminary analysis of these writings suggest five modes of artistic inquiry. These modes are self-exploration and reflection, documentation of therapeutic work, a method of responsive interaction with clients, a form of spiritual practice, and a way to clarify and contain the art therapist’s feelings that surface in therapeutic work. Comments are included on motivations for writing, inspiration, the significance of works in the text, and how poetry writing is incorporated in their personal and professional lives. Word Pictures: The Poetry and Art of Art Therapists is an effort to give voice to the poetic underpinnings of an art therapist’s identity. |

The Power of Pictures $43.39 In The Power of Pictures book and companion DVD, Beth Olshansky introduces teachers to her innovative art-based approach to literacy instruction. Widely practiced in classrooms across the country, the model has been proven by research to improve literacy achievement with a wide range of learners, especially those who struggle with verbal skills. At the heart of her approach is the Artists/Writers Workshop. Through study of quality picture books and hands-on art experiences, students learn to visualize, “paint pictures with words,” and ultimately create their own extraordinary artistic and literary work. The book and DVD explain how any teacher can successfully use this process to enable all students, particularly low performers, to make dramatic gains in both reading and writing. |

Pictures of Fidelman $6.99 This is the story in art of the painter Arthur Fidelman, born in the Bronx and spending years of his life in Italy--Rome, Milan, Florence and Venice--pursuing his tumultuous career through adventure and misadventure.  What perhaps saved him from disaster (Fidelman is a comic hero whose every next step is a trap sprung by bad luck as though his luck were good) is that he kept his finger in art, perhaps without knowing it seeking "perfection of the life" as well as the work.  Six pictures of Fidelman comprise an exhibition. |
