Steven Shearer, Ragpicker’s Rainbow

"The images used in Ragpicker’s Rainbow were found in educational books from the 1970s. The books explained how to get children to make crafts that respond to a modernist aesthetic. They showed examples of ordered and balanced abstract paintings from art history that the kids were supposed to emulate. By trying to reduce kids’ wild craftsmanship to orderly design, it was kind of a failed experiment to start."
