Alfred Wallis, St. Ives (1928)

From the Tate Britain: Wallis had worked as seaman, ice cream vendor and scrap merchant before he taught himself to paint after retiring. Here, he shows the white-washed walls of the town known for fishing and later for its artists’ community. Wallis made his paintings from memory rather than observation, using his deep knowledge of St Ives, the harbour and its connection to the sea.

Leandro Katz:

Uxmal, the House of the Doves (1993)

Uxmal, after Catherwood [House of the Nuns, Southeast Corner], (1985)

Tulúm, after Catherwood [The Castle] (1985)

Labná Arch, after Catherwood [East Façade] (1991)

Kabah, after Catherwood [Temple of the Masks] (1985)

In the 1830s, John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood were the first English-speaking explorers to study the Mayan regions in what is now southern Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras. Catherwood's detailed lithographs, published in two popular books, made the sites famous in the Western world. Argentine artist Leandro Katz began traveling to the Yucatán in 1984 to reconstruct Stephens and Catherwood's expeditions (text from MoMA).

Reminded me of Gabriele Basilico's photographs of sites in Rome engraved by Piranesi (though Katz came first!).
