Notations

19-5-2023

On the importance of writing things down, no.3: Elizabeth James examines a 400-year-old copy of Shakespeare’s First Folio, which was compiled by two actors from Shakespeare’s theatre company in an effort to save his works for posterity. “There are 36 plays by Shakespeare in this book and half of them had not been previously printed. So this book preserves really half of Shakespeare’s complete works — plays that would probably have been completely lost to us include the Tempest, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, many others that are among people’s favorites today.”

On the importance of writing things down, no.2: a new book, based on recently discovered letters and notebooks of collaborator Anna Cassel, suggests that some of Hilma af Klint’s work should be understood as the work of a collective of up to 13 women. More details in this interview with Hedvig Martin, who authored the essay, “Who Created The Paintings for the Temple?”
