HODGEPODGE
Some define "hodgepodge" as a confused mixture. Ignore that and go with the "a heterogeneous (or diverse) mixture." As one is exposed to more art and is receptive to expanding beyond one's preconceived notions or a tight focus, ones aesthetic evolves and lets art from one period or genre overlap with another—either in complement or contrast. Over the last twenty-plus years, my primary focus on early treen has expanded to where it is hard to see the connections between a-to-z. However, if one looks at a-to-b, b-to-c, c-to-d etcetera the connections and overlaps make sense—like an evolving an expanding Venn diagram. This is not to say there is not a focus or discipline—there very much is! The catalog herein has a diverse mix for sure—but everything was deliberately chosen and vetted for the integrity of vision, craftsmanship, surface, and condition. Enjoy!

[from Wikipedia] "Miroslav Tichý was a photographer who from the 1960s until<br />
1985 took thousands of surreptitious pictures of women in his hometown of Kyjov<br />
in the Czech Republic using homemade cameras constructed of cardboard tubes,<br />
tin cans and other at-hand materials. Most of his subjects were unaware that they<br />
were being photographed. A few struck beauty-pageant poses when they sighted<br />
Tichý, perhaps not realizing that the parody of a camera he carried was real."<br />
In the 2000s a friend convinced Tichý that his work should be shown and<br />
organized an exhibit of his photography for the 2004 Biennial of Contemporary<br />
Art in Seville, Spain. Since then Tichý’s work has been recognized worldwide and<br />
has had major retrospectives at the Kunsthaus in Zurich in 2005, the Pompidou<br />
Centre in 2008, and the International Center of Photography, New York in 2010.<br />
His work is now part of most major institutional and private collections.
