ANCIENT BASEBALL ~
The lively spirit and busy fingers of
Alfred Jarry and Rube Goldberg live-on
to this day out of the Catskills of New York
and its very own Mikhail Horowitz via
Ancient Baseball, where Mikhail has long worked
his workshop of collages. No easy-street photoshoppy
stuff here. Each collage from baseball land, includng
"Babe (Ruth) in the Manger" were done with old-school
finesse — hand wrought cut & paste w/scissors,
straight-edge razors please, and whiff the
room with paper cement.
Ah, it does make a style and grace.
