Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    Giant Leap by Alan Bean Look closely at this painting. Bean started by making an impression on a board with his space suit boot and then painted over it the small picture of the astronaut taking the first step on the moon’s surface. Bean often incorporates physical impressions from equipment he brought back from the moon and also collages pieces of the gold foil that wrapped around the lower parts of the lunar lander. Some of it is seen here around the foot of the spacecraft. On occasion he has been known to cut off precious portions of his cloth badges to incorporate into a painting. He once joked that some of the paintings have probably picked up traces of the moon dust which had worked its way into his equipment.
