Derrière Artistique

  As soon as we saw this 1907 French postcard, we knew we had to print it large scale. The original is small and great but we wanted to really show off the shapely buttocks bursting out of their ornate picture frame! No 3-D glasses required!  With a nod to Degas (or is it a wink?) our Derrière Artistique archival pigment print on heavyweight 100% cotton Moab paper is both classical and audacious. The rosey pink stamp (dated June 3, 1907) adds a je ne sais quoi.  Read more Barbara Levine, PROJECT B Limited Edition Prints, Vintage French postcards, vintage postcard

Tattered Love

Collection of PROJECT B / Barbara Levine This tattered vintage snapshot from 1939, exemplifies the wonderful and mysterious ways photography intersects with people's lives and their private domestic rituals. Vigorously ripped up, repeatedly folded or accidentally left in a pocket and put in the wash, the photo remained precious to its owner and was carefully taped back together. While we will never know if their love lasted, the worn voice of the photograph remains preserved. Read more Barbara Levine, Collecting found photographs, vernacular photography, vintage photographs

Wearable Photographs

  Every thought about wearing photographs of people you love or like the look of? Almost as soon as photography was invented people made jewelry with their personal photos. From Victorian mourning brooches, rings and cufflinks to buttons promoting political candidates, photo jewelry came in all sizes and shapes. Especially popular in the 1920s and 30s was the pinback photo button. From the Project B rare originals collection is this hand colored photograph of a young girl in the 1920s that was made into a photo button. It measures 1 3/4 x 1", has a pin on the back and is especially charming (we love her glasses!). How would you wear your photographs?!  Read more Barbara Levine, Photo Jewelry, Photographica, PROJECT B, PROJECT B Rare Originals, Vintage pinback buttons
