I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SIPGLS_100213_002.JPG: Philip Evergood (1901-1973) list of contacts, ca. 1947 In the late 1940s, painter Philip Evergood glued and taped together scraps of paper and business cards to create this list of services available near his New York City studio, including picture framers, art dealers, galleries, an art critic, and a camera store. Presumably, Evergood pasted on new contacts as needed. It is easy to imagine, from the pinhole at the top of this well-worn list, that Evergood tacked it up in his studio and referred to it often.
2. SIPGLS_100213_009.JPG: Harry Bertoia (1915-1978) "May-Self Rating Chart" school assignment, 1932 Sculptor and designer Harry Bertoia was just fifteen when he moved from Italy to the United States. Two years later, struggling to assimilate in school, he made this list of personal attributes as part of a class project. After high school he attended the Cranbrook Academy of Art, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where, along with his neatness and accuracy, he developed a fluid sense of sculptural form that made him a leading designer of modern furniture.
3. SIPGLS_100213_029.JPG: Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) to-do list, August 16, 1961 Finnish-born architect Eero Saarinen, designer of such structural icons as the TWA terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport (1962) in New York and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis (1965), was a great list maker. This list made just sixteen days before his death, shows him in the midst of multiple projects including his home renovation.
4. SIPGLS_100213_038.JPG: Benson Bond Moore (1882-1974) studies of ducks, undated Painter and printmaker Benson Bond Moore specialized in landscapes and animals. A native and resident of Washington DC, he often sketched at the National Zoo. Ducks were a favorite subject. Here he makes a graphic list of ducks in various poses, numbered one to twenty-six, perhaps serving as a handy how-to-draw-a-duck reference for his paintings and prints.
5. SIPGLS_100213_052.JPG: Paul Bransom (1885-1979) alphabetical list of animals, undated Bransom was known as the "dean of animal artists." During his long career, he illustrated a number of books including Jack London's The Call of the Wild (first illustrated edition, 1912), Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows (second edition, 1913), and Marlin Perkin's Zooparade (1954). This list may have been an early draft for an animal alphabet book.
6. SIPGLS_100213_060.JPG: Juta Savage (b. 1940) to Dorothy Weiss (b. 1921) letter, October 6, 1984 The Dorothy Weiss Gallery, founded by Dorothy Weiss in San Francisco and active from 1984 to 2000, specialized in contemporary clay and glass. Although Weiss favored nonfunctional pieces, every year she held a Teapot Invitation exhibition. In this letter to Weiss, Juta Savage makes an illustrated list of her teapots, showing variations of her standard forms. Weiss marks a few with an x in pencil, for possible reproduction on the announcement card for the first Teapot Invitational that opened on November 29, 1984.
7. SIPGLS_100213_070.JPG: John D. Graham (1887-1961) to-do lists, September 8 to 11, 1937 Graham, a Russian immigrant, writer, painter, collector, connoisseur, and charismatic spokesman for the avant-garde, was an incessant list maker. His 1937 pocket diary reveals the force of his imagination and his running to-do lists, which include "prepare all mail, paint, write," "cash my check," as well as names of places to visit on his upcoming trip to Oaxaca, Iguala, Juchitan, Guatemala, and San Salvador. He also itemized work to do on writing projects, including revisions of his treatise System and Dialectics of Art, published that year.
8. SIPGLS_100213_085.JPG: Janice Lowry (1946-2009) to-do list, December 2003 Janice Lowry's journals are evidence of her passion for assemblage. In each she combines verbal and visual expression with a variety of techniques and material -- ink pens, colored pencils, collage materials, stamps, and watercolors -- to create highly personal documents that embody her life-long commitment to the everyday. Her books include many to-do lists, with some tasks completed and crossed off and other migrating to subsequent to-dos.
9. SIPGLS_100213_090.JPG: Alexander Calder (1898-1976) address book, ca. 1930 In the late 1920s and early 30s, when Calder was a young man living in Paris, he created his Cirque Calder, a miniature circus fashioned from wire, string, rubber, cloth, and other found objects. He recorded his connections with other artists and members of the Parisian avant-garde in his handmade address book, which may have served as his mailing list for performances of his circus.
10. SIPGLS_100213_102.JPG: Adolf Konrad (1915-2003) packing list, ca. 1962-63 During his frequent trips abroad, realist painter Adolf Konrad filled stacks of sketchbooks with vibrant scenes of street life and picturesque landscapes. In this sketchbook from his travels through Rome and Egypt in 1962 and '63, he makes a graphic list of the things he needed to pack, as well as a drawing of himself wearing nothing but his underwear.
11. SIPGLS_100213_117.JPG: Henry Mosler (1841-1920) expenses January 23 to June 9, 1877 Henry Mosler's 1877 ledger provides a list of everyday expenditures of a successful American artist in Paris. The accounts range from the mundane ("moving wood from studio to house") to the extravagant (tickets for operas such as Orpheus in der Unterwelt and The Flying Dutchman), as well as recurring expenses for models, supplies, and studio rent.
