Star Trek The Final Frontier, Pictures-6

Star Trek, Pictures-6

I started with scenes from Star Trek. Who wouldn't choose well-remembered clips from favourite Episodes? But as Saint-Exupéry apparently didn't say:— Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit. (See Wikiquote on the subject of unsourced [but particularly apt] quotations.)

Pictures on the Star Trek HomePage-6 were inspired by a book purchased during or shortly after Montreal's Expo 67 The Meaning and Magic of Art by Fred Gettings , first published 1963 by Paul Hamlyn Ltd. for Golden Pleasure Books and possibly wasted on the young readers it was 'devised and written for'. I chose Bruegel's The Tower of Babel rather than Children's games shown on Page 18 for the Masthead detail of this present page, but Turner's Snowstorm at Sea Page 64, and Klee's They're biting Page 55, both form important components of Gettings' storyline.
The Lawren Harris Mt Lefroy is Plate 4, Page 8 of Peter Mellen's beautiful book 'Landmarks of Canadian Art' published in 1978 by McClelland and Stewart and mentioned earlier in Quelques mots, as well as in Pictures-1.
