LANGE-SØREN (TALL CHARLIE)
LANGE-SØREN is a giraffe.
He has a long career behind him. He started his
career as a children's book character.
He was then published on post cards as light blue
with dark blue spots and was sold at FORMLAND at the Herning Fair
Centre.
He was then published as a poster where he was
yellow with blue spots.
He was a model in "Barnets Bog" (Child's Book)
where he was also yellow with blue spots, and he was used to illustrate
the
height of a child.
As some people have associated his spots with
cheese, he is displayed in an original cut at ARLA in Vejle.
He was somewhat honoured when he, green with yellow
spots (and red shoes!), advertised for the shoe chain Din Grønne
Skobutik's
120 shops on 2 million plastic bags. In this connection he was also
portrayed
on posters and greetings card. And the chain's wrapping paper was green
with
yellow spots.
The height of LANGE-SØREN's career has
now been reached. He is being portrayed on miles of fabric at VEJTEX.
In
several color combinations.
The design entitled BROADWAY (or NEW YORK)
The design entitled
MONTMARTRE (or PARIS)
Montmartre is the artists' quarter in Paris.
I have been there.
So have Picasso, Matisse, Cézanne, Braque,
Gris, Miró, Max Ernst, Paul Eluard, Jean Arp, René
Magritte,
¨éger, Klee, Tolouse-Lautrec, Monet, Renoir, Sisley,
Pissarro,
Degas, Signac, Seurat, Gauguin, Chagall, Dalí, Tanguy and Van
Gogh.
In MONTMATRE they sought their inspiration.
In MONTMATRE they lived their more or less chaotic
lives.
In MONTMATRE they painted and exhibited their
famous works of art.
It was my intention that the basic picture in
the MONTMARTRE motif was to be able to stand alone as a work of art.
A work of art which, by being placed next to each
other many times, becomes a beautiful pattern.
