MIST0424/AXB-ESCHER

Mistigram: this #ANSIart take on #MCEscher's 1935 lithograph #HandWithReflectingSphere (or #SelfPortraitInSphericalMirror) was drawn by axbmusic. Slow but steady, he kept drawing underground computer artworks inspired by works of fine art over the four years since our last artpack on the subject, gradually motivating us to curate another one, culminating in the new MIST0424 collection.

MIST0424/NI-WAPP

Mistigram: The first #ANSIart screen we profile from the new #fineart-themed MIST0424 artpack collection is this composition by _n1tr0n, a juxtaposition of #sailboat racing with the neo-plasticism of #DeStijl painter #PietMondrian. The artist/sailor states he depicts: "my favorite moment in a boat race, the approach to the windward mark... the mondrian colors are supposed to reflect the elements of the scene, the sea, the sun, the sky, the racing spirit of the crew in red... I drew that ANSI the day I decided to sell the boat, actually."

This image is secretly responsible for the specific timing of the release of our fine art collection, as tracking down the specific fate of a particular Nitron guest submission resulted in the discovery of an entire trove of worthwhile artworks on this theme that had been carefully stashed away and then forgotten about.
