EYEGIENE

@eyegiene

me Welcome! You've landed in the delirious realm of Eyegiene -- an electric, virtual, semiotic visual cultural studies gallery archiving materials for Eyegiene: Permutations of Subjectivity in the Televisual Age of Sex and Race, a book in its late stages of development for the University of Texas Press. Also, sometimes appearing here, you can expect retro-flashback postings that resonate with Tex[t]-Mex, my first book, and Talking #BrownTV. Other curious sources of semiotic intrigue here, here, and here.

(Original Caption) Gloria Vanderbilt stands beside her portrait painted by Miss Karin Van Leyden, talented young artist who is holding an exhibition now at the Perls Gallery here, in which the canvas is shown. Miss van Leyden has caught the dark and languorous beauty of the sitter, put it against a cloud scattered sky and a charming pastoral scene for delightful contrast. https://www.gettyimages.at/detail/nachrichtenfoto/gloria-vanderbilt-stands-beside-her-portrait-painted-nachrichtenfoto/517729828?adppopup=true
