When you assemble a jigsaw, you study a painting in great detail and you become aware of the very lines, shapes and colors that the painting is composed of and how these elements merge to create a unified expression. Through the puzzle, you explore the artwork, examining details your eye might not have caught otherwise. Your experience of the painting is intense, aroused by the action of puzzling, but expanded and strengthened by your own fantasy.”</p> </blockquote>http://hedgesociety.tumblr.com/post/94916393http://hedgesociety.tumblr.com/post/94916393Fri, 10 Apr 2009 12:22:00 -0600<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/z25t-PQDn5A&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/z25t-PQDn5A&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Star Wars opening titles in the style of Saul Bass.<br/>56 seconds</p>http://hedgesociety.tumblr.com/post/94651392http://hedgesociety.tumblr.com/post/94651392Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:33:00 -0600<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9UU132IUU_o&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9UU132IUU_o&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><b><i>Bass on Titles</i></b><br/>1977<br/>35 m 18 s<br/><br/>A documentary on the title sequence work of graphic designer Saul Bass.
