Happy Birthday!

Born in Zurich, Switzerland on 8 November 1884, Rorschach grew up in Schaffhausen and was known to his friends as Klecks, or "inkblot" for his love of klecksography, the making of inkblot "pictures". 

He is one of my biggest artistic references next to Salvador DalĂ­ or David Batchelor. 

The way he use the art of spotty sizes to connect it with psychology it was one of the main points why I took his work into study while I was looking for my artistic language. 

Do you know who I'm talking about? 

Not yet?

Hermann Rorschach! 

I have talk about it on the facebook page but thank you to google to remind me it was his birthday, that has made me look again to his essays. I know he wasn't an artists but sometimes references are more of a theory than something esthetic. 

Stay Safe, 

C.
