“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”
— Helen Keller

A prolific author, lecturer and political activist, well-traveled and outspoken in her convictions, Helen Adams Keller (1880–1968) was a member of the Socialist Party of America and the Industrial Workers of the World. She campaigned for women's suffrage, labor rights, socialism, and antimilitarism. She was the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Her birthplace in Alabama, is now a museum and her June 27 birthday is commemorated as Helen Keller Day.

Inspiration: Portrait of David Hockney for @wsjmag by @jamie.hawkesworth
A pioneer of the British Pop Art movement in the 1960s, David Hockney gained recognition for his paintings on the theme of homosexual love before it was decriminalized in England in 1967. After moving to California at the end of 1963, Hockney began painting scenes of the sensual and uninhibited life of athletic young men, depicting swimming pools, palm trees, and perpetual sunshine. Experimenting with photography in the mid-1970s, Hockney went on to create his famous photocollages with Polaroids and snapshot prints arranged in a grid formation, pushing the two-dimensionality of photography to the limit, fragmenting the monocular vision of the camera and activating the viewer in the process. A versatile artist, Hockney has produced work in almost every medium—including full-scale opera set designs, prints, and drawings using cutting-edge technology such as fax machines, laser photocopiers, computers, and even iPhones and iPads. David Hockney is one of the most popular and influential British artists of the twentieth century. Jamie Hawkesworth is an English photographer, creating nuanced and empathetic portrayals of the architecture and people of England.

“To deliver anticipated, personal and relevant messages to people who want to get them. The opportunity to create remarkable products and services for a focused audience, stuff so good that people want to talk about it. This is marketing.” — @sethgodin (from “The race to the bottom”, Seth’s blog post from Sept 27, 2019)

Ash plywood, chromed steel and leather.

Richard Neutra (1892–1970) was a Jewish Austrian-American architect. He studied under Max Fabiani and Karl Mayreder at the Vienna University of Technology, and also attended the private architecture school of Adolf Loos. After World War I, Neutra went to Switzerland where he worked with the landscape architect Gustav Ammann. Neutra then moved to the United States and worked briefly for Frank Lloyd Wright before accepting an invitation from his close friend and university companion Rudolf Schindler to work and live communally in Schindler's Kings Road House in California. Neutra came to be considered among the most prominent and important modernist architects.

Inspiration: Poster for Wes Anderson’s exhibition “A Perfect Symmetry” by @paulargstudio

Cinematography of Wes Anderson includes a unique visual style, carefully selected colour palettes, quirky dialogue and an abundance of symmetrical shots with a meticulous attention to detail. His films are described as unusual, witty, richly detailed and idiosyncratic, with an instantly recognisable style. In 2018 Wes Anderson curated a 'Treasure Chamber' of Curiosities exhibition at Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum together with his partner Juman Malouf, illustrator, designer and writer. The exhibition has now been transferred to the Fondazione Prada in Milan.

Inspiration: No More, No Less by @kensukekoike and @thomas_sauvin

In 2015, French artist Thomas Sauvin acquired an album produced in the early 1980s by an unknown Shanghai University photography student. The album comprises original negatives, silver prints, manuscript comments from an anonymous professor, and shows the student’s diligence in mastering the rules applying to the conventional portrait. This volume was given a second life through the expert hands of Kensuke Koike, a Japanese artist based in Venice whose practice combines collage and found photography.
The series, “No More, No Less”, born from the encounter between Koike and Sauvin, includes new silver prints made from the album’s original negatives. These prints were then submitted to Koike’s sharp imagination, who, with a simple blade and adhesive tape, deconstructs and reinvents the images. However, these purely manual interventions all respect one single formal rule: nothing is removed, nothing is added, “No More, No Less”. In such a context that blends freedom and constraint, Koike and Sauvin meticulously explore the possibilities of an image only made up of itself.
