We forget that was only a few generations ago, and it truly was the defining moment in our history. The phrase “brother against brother” is tossed around a bit today, but it was real, it was brutal and it took thousands and thousands of young men right here on our shores. If there is anything sacred left, it is the battlefields of that war and there are efforts in place to preserve them today. If a Wal-mart built where my relative dropped his musket and bled to death, I would personally picket the place."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.collectorsquest.com/blog/2011/06/13/the-painted-backdrops/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">FULL TEXT HERE</span></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1381467">Browse and purchase The Painted Backdrop HERE</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079599753203289124-4498436329730211470?l=thepaintedbackdrop.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dull Tool Dim Bulbnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079599753203289124.post-37921603689514591732011-06-11T07:40:00.001-07:002011-06-11T07:48:36.610-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xkImSfd0XoM/TfN_Qh85_yI/AAAAAAAALUk/pre6jyjvGcE/s1600/painter.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xkImSfd0XoM/TfN_Qh85_yI/AAAAAAAALUk/pre6jyjvGcE/s320/painter.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616973082229604130" border="0" /></a><br />Text of Review<a href="http://www.ululating-undulating-ungulate.com/2011/06/review-the-painted-backdrop-behind-the-sitter-in-american-tintype-photograph/"> HERE</a> on Ululating-Undulating-Ungulate<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079599753203289124-3792160368951459173?l=thepaintedbackdrop.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dull Tool Dim Bulbnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079599753203289124.post-35273918428523498592010-10-03T18:05:00.001-07:002010-10-03T18:05:56.326-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LxB5bkk8QeU/TKkobjyx6eI/AAAAAAAAH9o/4cTon2xoqP4/s1600/steamboat.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LxB5bkk8QeU/TKkobjyx6eI/AAAAAAAAH9o/4cTon2xoqP4/s400/steamboat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523990871876430306" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079599753203289124-3527391842852349859?l=thepaintedbackdrop.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dull Tool Dim Bulbnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079599753203289124.post-25802111305178697502010-09-07T06:54:00.000-07:002010-09-07T09:59:45.700-07:00<h2><a title="Permanent Link: Homespun Beauty: Jim Linderman on Folk Arts Authentic Appeal" href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/homespun-beauty-jim-linderman-on-folk-arts-authentic-appeal/">Homespun Beauty: Jim Linderman on Folk Art’s Authentic Appeal</a></h2> <span></span> <p>By Maribeth Keane and Bonnie Monte September 2010 Click above for full text.<br /></p> <p class="first-p"><em>For collector, blogger, and author Jim Linderman, beauty is all about the imperfections, which is why he’s so attracted to folk art.

Cyber-picking can be a sort of self-flagellation, but when you find a hidden jewel the payoff makes it all worth it. I sort of feel the same way with self-published books. The theory is good, with online sites like Lulu and Blurb giving us all the ability to become published authors. Unfortunately, as I've browsed through the majority of self-published titles available, most are of the "these are my best Aruba shots" photo books that, while sometimes beautiful, leave me a little unfulfilled.<br /><br />Fortunately there are others, like <a href="http://www.dulltooldimbulb.com/">Jim Linderman</a>, who look at the technology as an opportunity to expose the hidden corners of old (sometimes weird) America. Like Jimmy Allen's seminal book on lynching in America, Linderman has a knack for discovering untold stories and introducing them to a wider audience. His latest book, <a href="http://thepaintedbackdrop.blogspot.com/">The Painted Backdrop: Behind the Sitter in American Tintype Photography 1860-1920</a>, tells the previously untold story of 19th century painters who painted the backdrops of the then ubiquitous tintype photos. It's an incredibly interesting history and you suddenly find yourself looking for the subject behind the subject.<br /><br />The Painted Backdrop is one of two of Linderman's books currently in the running for a People's Choice Award in the Photography category of Blurb.com. What's great is that for a limited time you'll be able to preview and read the entire books.<br /><br />The Painted Backdrop Behind the Sitter in American Tintype Photography 1860-1920<br /><a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1381467">Click Here to preview the book and vote!</a><br /><br />Camera Club Girls Bettie Page and her Friends: The Work of Rudolph Rossi<br /><a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1256330">Click Here to preview the book and vote!</a><br /><br />If you like them (which I'm sure you will), make sure to put a vote in before August 20th!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1079599753203289124-638742665003309825?l=thepaintedbackdrop.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Dull Tool Dim Bulbnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079599753203289124.post-41677902942959506552010-08-01T20:50:00.001-07:002010-08-02T04:44:26.659-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LxB5bkk8QeU/TFavk6hvrFI/AAAAAAAAHMI/rg6ANIRntnc/s1600/paintedcov.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 164px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LxB5bkk8QeU/TFavk6hvrFI/AAAAAAAAHMI/rg6ANIRntnc/s200/paintedcov.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500777043600583762" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-size:130%;">FOR A LIMITED TIME (until August 20) TWO OF MY BOOKS are available for FULL VIEWING at Blurb.com FOR FREE!</span><br /><br />Full Text and All the Photographs!

Never before examined in detail, the book contains over 75 rare, unpublished original tintype photographs from the <a href="http://www.dulltooldimbulb.com/">Jim Linderman</a> collection. A Grammy nominated writer and collector who has been called "the perfect subject for a Harvey Pekar comic" this book is informed with Linderman's wit and continues his examination of previously overlooked art and photography subjects. 80 Pages, 8' x 10" with essays by Jim Linderman and Kate Bloomquist. Linderman's most recent photography book was <a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1256330">Camera Club Girls</a> which tells the story of the amateur photographers who met to take nude photographs during the 1950s, discovered model Bettie Page, and started a revolution in erotic art...all through the work of one never before published artist.</span><br /><br /><div id="badge" style="position:relative;

Well over 100 antique and vintage photographs collected by Linderman show the most unusual, curious and beautiful American Folk Art in location and being made long ago. The author is a Grammy-nominated artist whose photo collection was used to produce the well-known <a href="http://www.dust-digital.com/water.htm">"Take Me to the Water: Immersion Baptism in Vintage Music and Photography"</a> release still in print and soon to be a major museum exhibit in New York city. This is the third book of photographs in the <a href="http://dulltooldimbulb.blogspot.com/">Dull Tool Dim Bulb</a> series. More information on the author is available at his hub site <a href="http://www.dulltooldimbulb.com/">Dull Tool Dim Bulb</a> and on his many other art, culture and photography sites. Available as a 112 page Hardcover book with jacket, and softcover. Many of the photographs are early "Real Photo Postcards" which are over 100 years old and have not been seen before. A major collection being shown and shared for the first time. Taking the most broad definition of "Folk Art" the volume contains circus sideshow banners, religious signs, eccentric yard environments and huge sculptural objects as well as more traditional American folk art forms as the whirligig, wood carvings, and whimsical objects all collected over a 25 year period.
