Imagination Man - Stig Lindberg tile
Submitted by Duke on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 12:40pm
Imagination Man - Stig Lindberg tile for Gustavsberg
In thanks for the recent posting about the great Stig Lindberg, I thought I would share a pic of one of the few items I have managed to scrounge.
It is likely a unique piece, hand-signed on the front of the tile on lower right. Approx 10 inches sq.
It reminds me of the chanted lyrics to Jon Hassell's hip-hop/jazz song Sex Goddess: "Do you? Do you really want to know? Do you? Do you really want to know? Do you? Do you really want to know? USE YOUR IMAGINATION!"
UhOh - back to work packing for Cincinnati - see you explorers in a couple weeks!

Re: Imagination Man - Stig Lindberg tile
Thanks for all your comments - sorry my photo is so flawed, I'm simply not programmed to do photos.
When I was a child, my father went all-out (for us po' folk) and bought a Kodak Instamatic camera, where the photos were supposed to be ejected by the camera within seconds of taking the pic, and then needed 60 seconds to 'develop'. Well, that darn thing never produced one picture that was woth a d.... They'd come out with only a partial image, or crooked, or burnt or messed up in general in multiple ways.
One time, after numerous failed photos and even more numerous curses and exultations, he took theat camera, threw it to the ground, and literally jumped up-and-down on it and smashed it until it was in lots and lots of pieces. Ever since, I've never met a camera I liked, or one that liked me.
Thanks for lettin me tell a dumb story.

Re: Imagination Man - Stig Lindberg tile
the picture shows the tile very well. Your dad got a dud. Cameras, now, are so smart- the other day someone took my picture and the camera said, "blink detected," since i had. What is next? Pointone at a baby and it says, "coochie coo!"?
