LISTS!

I saw this book the other day and flipped open to this awesome chart by Harry Bertoia. Sight Unseen posted a few of the lists (including this one).

Lists: To-dos, Illustrated Inventories, Collected Thoughts, and Other Artists’ Enumerations from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art by Liza Kirwin. Copyright 2010 by Smithsonian Institution and reprinted with permission from Princeton Architectural Press.

Harry Bertoia “May-Self Rating Chart” School Assignment
1932
1 p. excerpted, handwritten

Sculptor and designer Harry Bertoia (1915–1978) was just fifteen years old when he moved from Italy to the United States to live with his brother, Oreste. Two years later, struggling to assimilate as a student at the Elizabeth Cleveland Intermediate High School in Detroit, he made this list of personal attributes as part of an illustrated booklet titled My Career. Though Bertoia is hard on himself — only scoring “excellent” in health, neatness, and accuracy — in My Career he states his claim to be an artist.
