Stake attention in this memory
This media file features a black and white illustration of a person from the back, wearing a hat and a long coat, holding a cane or staff. The figure is silhouetted against a lighter background, with a shadow cast on the ground. Below the illustration, there is text that appears to be a caption and descriptive passage. The caption reads: "Self-portrait (1919), Woodcut by Gordon Craig (From Edward Gordon Craig, by Janet Looper)". The accompanying text discusses a theatrical context, mentioning "Reinhardt learned from him, Copeau gave sustenance from him. The theatrical world was shaken by an intellectual dreamer. Craig more than anyone else believed that the rediscovery of the art of theater must grow out of research and experimentation, unhampered by the limitations of the commercial stage. He proposed for a school, for 'new lives—new habits—a new order of work.' In 1913 he himself founded a school at the Arena Goldoni in Florence. For one fateful year the master and some thirty students lived in an atmosphere of 'new sights and sounds . . . to breed new feelings, new thoughts . . . and open eyes.' 'After that.'" The visual style is monochromatic and illustrative, suggesting a historical or artistic context. The overall impression is one of intellectual pursuit and the development of theatrical arts. The location context "Jauro Yinu, Nigeria" is not discernible from the image itself. The time of day, weather, and emotions are not explicitly indicated.
