ART GOES POSTAL—ARTISTS SHARING POSTCARDS


With so many postcards archived on the website, here are a few that we think
merit attention.
                   



MARK JOHNSTONE TO BONNIE LAMBERT AND MARSHALL MAYER



Kiddies: Not this time... Lotsa stuff popping (although nothing big to notate,
only that I no longer have the use of Beth's truck, nor Beth,—catch my drift?).
I hope I can make it down in May sometime. My life runs at a casual pace
approximating land speed records. M

MARSHALL MAYER TO MARK JOHNSTONE



Mark, This is an example of my work for the book—I hope its' [sic] in one piece.
Sorry we didn't get to look at you're book stuff—we actually came looking for
you after the printer but nowhere to be located. I'll most likely be down for
the 4th with some work—I'll probably call to verify anything. I moved—[address
redacted and phone]. Just finished applying to Ferguson Grant to pay for this
book—I sure home Scott [McLeod] can do a better job—200 line screen AT LEAST. We
all want it nice. Molly's getting excited to come. Marshall

MARSHALL MAYER TO MARK JOHNSTONE



Ooops! Guess who, where, what, when and why! And if you remember what we did
after this you win the booby prize (not specified)!

BARBARA HOUGHTON TO ELLEN MANCHESTER



Tue. Dear Ellen—I certainly hope this gets to you before you leave. We're camped
out here and it's so much better than THO [Timothy H. O'Sullivan] could have
pictured it in his day. It's also a lot better than this pc. The water glows a
turquoise & the rocks are stunning cream in the day/sunlight. This sunset was
thinly overcast & it's almost dark. The water is still glowing turquoise & the
mountains opposite are purple & mauve, the sky is lilac & purple & the sage &
grasses are green & gold. Damn I'm impressed. We must come here sometime
together. Found THO's picture & have not been able to get to it/ Road is closed.
Found a Linda Connor at Thunder Mtn. I'll show you which one. The trip has been
plagued w/ bad events but we go on. Water pump went out & we went to Provo &
yesterday Jim [Houghton] broke a front tooth in half chopping wood. See you this
weekend xx B.

PETER GALASSI TO ELLEN MANCHESTER



Monday evening 9/16/74 Dear Ellen, I started work today, and I LOOOVE it. I feel
like a spoiled kid. Thanks for your great letter—to which I will respond more
fully soon. Dennis [Longwell] says hi. Diana [Edkins] is in Texas for the
opening of her Jackson show. Glad to hear your setup is working out. The foilage
weekend sounds good and I shall check it out w/ Dave [Freund] and Diana. I am in
love w/ New England again. My apt. is unbelievably huge and beautiful—and lots
of room for visitresses I just painted one wall in my LR flesh color (above) in
remembrance of Bonnie's [Lambert] beautiful body and her beautiful spirit both
of which I pine for each day. The 3 of us shall reunite ever stronger. Love,
Pete

BONNIE LAMBERT TO ANDREA JENNISON AND TOM BREEDEN



November 1, 1977 Dear Andrea & Tom, It looks like I may have gotten a real job:
photographer for a curriculum development co. But, most of their contracts are
with the gov't., so I have to get a security clearance. Will take 3-4 mos. In
the meantime I have found a crap job selling cameras (will take it if I don't
get hired at a Xerox place this week.) At the good job I would do things like
photograph a guy taking apart a rifle or defusing a land mine! Could be
interesting. Lots of travel: that's the good & bad part. Any job for you,
Andrea? How's Wyoming? love, Bonnie

details…




PETER DE LORY TO ELLEN MANCHESTER



Ellen—Mucho thanks pour all your postal assistance. I hope you win 5 days & 4
night [sic] in St. Barths [sic] with a real hunk of Greek statue type, bla, bla,
bla,bla. Andy and I will be on deck at S.P.E. See you then/meantime, building
darkroom making pix's and lots of x-mas festivities. P.S. I think you are doing
the right thing with the program. Above & beyond. My hats off to you Love Peter
de

details…




ELLEN MANCHESTER AND BONNIE LAMBERT TO DAVE FREUND



Dear Dave—this is a little "excitement" to get you to come to our fair flour
city for SPE—really hope you can make it. Our living situation is VERY cozy as
Chris [?] has moved in. I sleep in the kitchen! BUT Please stay with us—Chris
will be at her parents, [Robert] Heinecken might stay here, Gary M [Metz] can't
make it. Should be lots of laughs—bring LOTS of work! Thanks again for the bed &
board. Love Ellen & BGL

details…




ANDREA JENNISON TO DAVE FREUND



11-1-78 Hope you are enjoying your time off... Getting lots done. I am very busy
up here in old Breckenridge! It's winter already. Hope to hear from you soon.
XOXO, Andrea

details…




JUDITH GOLDEN TO BARBARA HOUGHTON



Sat—Had a GREAT day in L.A. I'm SO HIGH! They REALLY interviewed me. 1 1/2 hrs
of questions—realize biggest problem is lack of experience. They're worried
about that with 1/2 my duties working with grads! Felt good about myself—was
honest so they'll either like me or I don't belong there. Robt. [Robert
Heinecken] was fantastic. Said I'm his 1st choice still. They'll interview
Eileen [Cowin] Mon—PRAY!!! I'll let you know as soon as I know. Bad hair—I gonna
get to work! Love Jude

details…




DAVE FREUND TO ELLEN MANCHESTER



Dear Ellen—Very good to get your card(s) & hear the show looks good—really wish
I could see it. (By implication, Gary's [Metz?] prints showed up, right?) The
clothes, my god, thanks for not sending them for $22! Can't you just put them in
a box & mail 'em last class, insured? Shouldn't be more than a few $—& when it
comes I'll mail you a check for the postage. I'll surely be out sometime this
summer, somehow. How long you gonna be there? Could you send me a summer
catalog? School's out next week, & free play for the summer‚ hardly know where
to strike first. But I'll manage. See yo. Love, Dave [front of card] Hi, Bonnie
[Lambert] !!!

MARK JOHNSTONE TO MARSHALL MAYER



Marsh—Rec'd books fr. Bonnie/many thanks. Suggestion re: OBSCURA (which I still
haven't received in the mail)=document whole procedure + send to attention of
NEA Visual Arts [it's the only kind of feedback they get re: programs, and is
important] Best, Mark

details…




SUSAN MORGAN TO MARK JOHNSTONE



Dear Mark Johnstone, Yippeee! I've now seen the CoLA show & received my
catalogues & they both look great. I am very pleased. thank you. yours, Susan
Morgan

details…




SUSAN RANKAITIS TO MARK JOHNSTONE



Saturday, Dear Mark—Thanks so much for the letter & photo. It sounds like you're
doing well. Hope that the problem that you caught in Texas is now over also. I'm
getting anxious to get out of school—it doesn't seem to have much relation to
doing art. Both of us are totally working now. I'm broke and anxious to get some
kind of an income other than my meager teaching salary. I'm glad that you're
looking towards California. It's a nice place to be although photographers photo
scene seems slate [stale?]. Artists using photo however are doing some very
interesting things. Keep in touch & thanks for writing. Susan PS—Please don't
give our address or phone # out to any students (I don't know if we every asked
you this)

details…




ELLEN MANCHESTER TO BONNIE LAMBERT



Dear Bon—The best thing about NOT travelling with you is sending you cards! Of
course I'm having a fantastic time—god—I almost want to go back to school! Hear
that Victor [Schraeger] is out of town—LEAVE your stuff for him to see. Love,
Ellen

details…




PETER GALASSI TO BONNIE LAMBERT



8 April 77 NYC [In case you didn't guess, this pic is about love] Dear
Bonnie—You made it into Light Gallery sooner than you thought; as a subject in a
Dave Freund picture (you're seen mostly from behind—but unmistakably you—and a
girl cut in half on a porch on the right). The show is not bad—that VERY
delicate sensibility; my only objection is that technically they're a little
sloppy: fuzzy & grainy which is bad for all the delicate stuff. But still pretty
good. Dave seems happy & we had a nice talk at the openning [sic], and that
Harold [Jones] produced some sort of elegant demonstration. Does the show look
good? Nice frames? The [Robert] Rauschenberg show here is marvelous—what's
terrific is that he was willing to try anything. Jonnie & Susan, back from
England, send love. P.

KEN ABBOTT TO MARK JOHNSTONE



8/12 Hi Mark & Robbi, I'm in Montana, on the Gallatin River, on my way to
Yellowstone. Finished a bike tour (no, not the Harley to Sturgis, my pedal-type
bike) last week—from Helena to Billings via Yellowstone. Much fun. Back to
Yellowstone to see if I can make pictures of campers & such. We'll see. Enjoyed
seeing Haynes' photos today in Helena. I'm on to Idaho next. Then San Fran, but
back to Denver after that—think I'll try to get to LA in winter. Hey—Jennifer
and I are getting married (gulp!) December 29. Come on out & do some skiing &
join us! Hee Hee, what fun! Ken

details…




JIM STONE TO MARK JOHNSTONE



Dear Mark—The PRC isn't doing too well at importing California talent but we
will keep trying. Hope all is well with you & R & we see you sometime soon.
March I guess if not before. Your pal, Stone

details…




JUDITH GOLDEN TO BARBARA HOUGHTON



Fri—Feeling low—just got REJECTED from SIU! Really surprised—was sure we'd both
make this one! Seemed made for our stuff. Hope you're in. [heart] Love Jude

details…




THOS. K. MEYER TO MARK JOHNSTONE



Merry Xmas. Thanks for the CDs. More from me to follow Love & mush T.K

details…




MARK JOHNSTONE TO ERIC MINUTH



The dry spell endeth so poureth forth from the lips of the fugitive from fiction
sweet words encircling hard + pointed words thrusting, deceptive words
entrapping, all is written so in the PURSUIT OF PULCHRITUDE

details…




ROBBERT FLICK TO MARK JOHNSTONE



Mark, What a wonderfully sensitive & promising essay in the landscape book
[Midwest Diary]. When we have an hour would like to talk about some of the
hidden (hinted at) issues. Bob

details…




SUE ROBINSON TO BARBARA HOUGHTON



Dear Babs—have decided to formalize our womens group for resume purposes. We can
call ourselves Colorado Women in Photography! I think you should be secretary
because you have SUCH NEAT hand writing (ha ha) (Vidi [?] is Sgt at Arms because
she's the biggest!) Our Motto: To Fight the Rising Tide of Male Stupidity Don't
laugh! I'm serious! As of now, you are a "Founding Member"—love Sue

details…




ANDREA JENNISON TO BARBARA HOUGHTON



Dear Barbara—Vidie [?] called today & asked if we wanted to share a room at SPE.
She just got her forms. Tom [Breeden] & I said "yes" & thought of the
possibility that you might want to share too. We are reserving a RUSTIC
(hopefully, rather than DELUXE (2nd choice room for 3-4 people. $50 incl. 3
nites & 8 meals. The deluxe is $12 more which for Tom & me is $24 more (enough
to board Togie [their dog]!) If you want to go in w/ us on this, great! I'll try
to call you at Metro Mon. Jan. 30 or Wed. Feb 1st at 12:50 pm our time—2:50 your
time. Hope you can be at Lightwork then. XOXO Andrea * If you or I can't get
together on the phone, please write immediately after you get thiks.
