"Enovations"...

"Enovations" was a publication for admirers of Brian Eno.

The summer/1979 edition featured the watercolor painting

"Portrait of Eno with Allusions" on it's cover, as well as

Peter Schmidt's words describing the process of creating

this painting of his friend and collaborator. This painting

has been my inspiration for assembling this raisonne

catalogue dedicated to preserving Peter's legacy. Many

thanks to Rory Walsh and Russell Mills who sent this

item to me within two hours of each other. This and another

article from "Enovations"/1981, "A Line has Two Sides",

a discussion of Peter and Russell's work can be found at

"Electrostatic Portraits", 1969

Cover of "Electrostatic Portraits"


Roland Penrose

Jasia Reichardt

Peter Schmidt

The three pictures above are from an Edition Hansjorg Mayer publication called "Electrostatic Portraits", and were created by Peter Schmidt in 1968. They were made by assembling the personal effects of the subject, and then photo copying the assemblage. Here is the cover and the "portraits" of Roland Penrose, Jasia Reichardt, and Peter Schmidt. An oblong folio of 30 pages with 16 full page illustrations in black and white, photocopies pasted on grey cloth, with a heavy rubber-like opaque cover. These 3 and 13 portraits like them were bound in an edition of 25. These will be added to the "Publications" section of http://www.peterschmidtweb.com/ in the near future.
