Vanitas vanitatum, omnia vanitas
|
Vanitas vanitatum et omnia vanitas
In all we do, and hear, and see,
part of the poem "Vanitas Vanitatum, Omnia Vanitas."
In the arts, vanitas is a type of symbolic still life painting especially associated with Northern European painters in Flanders and the Netherlands in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The word is Latin, meaning "emptiness" and loosely translated corresponds to the meaninglessness of earthly life and the transient nature of vanity.
By the 16th century flowers would appear (again) as symbols of the seasons. Starting in Roman times is the tradition of the use symbols of mortality, transience and earthly remains. These so called vanitas images have been re-interpreted through the last 400 years of art history, starting with Dutch painters around 1600. It is from these paintings that the Gardener took his inspiration for this Garden of Adin Vanitas Vanitatum. |

Adin's Rorschachtest 01
|
|
The Garden of Adin's Chief psychoanalyst Mr Elkan Wijnberg announced a ground-breaking development based on the so called Rorschach test.
Mr Wijnberg proudly informed us about this spectacular development in psycho-analyses. He said: "By adding a piece of antique jewellery to the inkblots we are now able to determine the taste of the test persons." Rumour has it that Mr Wijnberg will be nominated for the Nobel prize for this discovery. |

The Garden of Adin Newsflash:
23 new living species discovered so far this year!
 |
|
Among those 23: a tree named after Leonardo DiCaprio, a millipede named after Taylor Swift and most spectacular of all, a new species of mantis that has been discovered in the Garden of Adin! According to Mr. Elkan Wijnberg, Chief Taxonomist at the Garden of Adin, its elongated body has no wings, but its shape set with diamonds and onyx is typically for the Art Deco era, hence the name this species has been given: "Mantidae Adinus Artdecoa". It seems that this species is evolutionary adapted to impress in both a vertical and horizontal posture and has the ability to remain stationary while wearing. |

Vintage Jewellery and Visual ArtsSince our last post, we’ve allowed ourselves at Adin to go further down the wondrous rabbit hole of photography as we’ve received another interesting tip: the work of photographer Yasuhiro Ishimoto. Therefore, we purchased his book 'HANA', which is the Japanese word for 'flower'. What a discovery this was for us! With this picture, we hope to have caught a glimpse of his brilliance and combined it with some of our sparkles. As photography professionals among you will notice, spending too much time on photo tests isn’t a luxury that’s given to us at Adin, specifically because our main work is fortunately in dealing with our luxurious jewellery collection. Nevertheless and even after more than 30 years of jewellery photography, we will always find joy in getting inspired by artists as Yasushiro Ishimoto in a similar way as jewellery inspires us. |

Inspired by Robert Mapplethorpe

Vintage Jewellery and Visual ArtsRecently, we received the compliment that some of our jewellery pictures resemble the work of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe -or at least that we would appreciate his work. Even though his oeuvre in general is known to us, we decided to dive into his latest publication of flower photographs. What a feast for our eyes, what a source of inspiration for our brains and what respect for nature’s perfection through his lens! For almost 26 years of online representation of our jewellery collection through various types of imagery and once again with this photo, we’ve tried to incorporate the idea of the ultimate portrayal of the jewel as the subject of our work -in the spirit of Robert Mapplethorpe. |
