Walter Benjamin es el coleccionista nómada que no para de adquirir y que lo va perdiendo todo

Gracias al testimonio de una compañera de huida sabemos cuál fue el último objeto de valor que conservaba Walter Benjamin: un reloj antiguo, de oro, un resto arqueológico de vida burguesa, un recuerdo de familia.

art and illustration

In 1901, for example, Bok offered reprints of Ladies Home Journal illustrations (without text) for sale to the public. The notice stated that the reproductions (by W. I. Taylor), if framed, were ‘works of art fit to hang beside any painting’. [...]

Artists and editors were conscious of vocational differences between illustrators and career painters. Nevertheless, the practices of Curtis, Bok, and Lorimer contributed to a blurring of borders between art and illustration on the part of the general public, who framed the pictures of and for whom such covers signified ‘art’.
