what is the best source for information on georges lafayette?
Dear Anon,
that is a wonderful question! You will shoot me a message, if you found the answer, yes? :-)
But all jokes aside, it is a little tricky to find information on Georges due to several reasons. He never wrote his own Memoirs, he has always very gladly occupied his fathers shadow and no historian has yet decided to dedicate their professional life to Georges. If you just search for the term “Georges Lafayette” most results will deal with the relation between George Washington and La Fayette. Still, there are some resources I can recommend if you want to do some research.
Lafayette in America in 1824 and 1825, Volume 1 and Lafayette in America in 1824 and 1825, Volume 2. Both books were written by La Fayette’s secretary Auguste Levasseur and give great insight into La Fayette’s Tour of 1824/25 – including Georges, who accompanied his father.
Recollections of the Private Life of General Lafayette by Jules Germain Cloquet. Cloquet was the family’s physician and a friend. The focus of this books lies once again with the older La Fayette but nonetheless offers a view of Georges and his position within the family.
Life of Madame de Lafayette by Virginie, Marquise de Lasteyrie du Sallant is primarily concerned with Adrienne but, for example, details Georges’ whereabouts and “journeys” during Adrienne’s imprisonment in France.
The best thing there is, are letters. Sadly, Georges’ letters have never been compiled and published but that does not have to stop us! Founders Online has a number of letters about and by Georges (here and here). The letters that are written about Georges are mainly between Alexander Hamilton and George Washington during the early 1790’s when Georges was in America and later between La Fayette and Thomas Jeffersons (but also James Madison and others) when they updated each other regularly about their families. The Library of Congress has a few handwritten letters by Georges to George Washington (and a few others). Georges Washington’s Mount Vernon also had a few letters from Georges to members of the Washington-Parke-Custis-family, but as far as I knew they are only partially digitalized.
The University of Chicago has a number of letters by Georges La Fayette – quite the treasure chest. Same goes for the Archives départementales de Seine-et-Marne. The family’s manor La Grange is located in this department and the archives have a webpage and a great PDF-file on the family. Again, La Fayette is placed in the spotlight but there are also a few but highly interesting tidbits about Georges.
Then we have the Paris Archives, État civil reconstitué (XVIe-1859) in France. There you find documents like birth-, marriage- and death-certificates.
Last but not least, Georges’ political opinions are partially documented in the Archives Parlementaires (huge thank-you to @echo-bleu for helping me finding these.)
I hope you are able to find the information you are looking for and I hope you have/had a lovely day!

back from a week away from the lab for family reasons, not really feeling up to rigorous work…last week made me really want to quit my job and find something closer to home and focus on family but i need to remind myself that that feeling is temporary and heavily influenced by my current circumstances. i need to remember to make time for myself too :(
anyways i went to lab to take care of some managerial stuff this morning but i finished basically all of it within an hour so i walked down the street to get a nice coffee and enjoy the ~coffee shop vibes~

Eva Hesse
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hesse's work fits into a more minimalist, neo-surrealistic style and she likes to work in a large scale, often with installation type works. Hermove to sculpture was a later development in her life after she married a sculptor, Tom Doyle, and started experimenting in a 3D space as 2D felt limiting.
Her use of latex and natural fibres inspiredmy sculpture greatly. The natural yellows and browns give a worn and old skin look which I tried to experiment with in my own work and the draping of ropes and fibres gives an eery underlying theme whcih seems to creep into her work porbably as a result of her childhood history of being exiled to the USA and the suicide of her mother when she was young.
An interesting site to read about her and her life:

This was for a competition the Gallery hosted and it shows how the medical workers have adjusted from being behind the scenes to being on the Front Line, having to risk their lives to save others, like militants do in any combat war. you can even see greying skies and men down as they try to battle this invisible assailant. It’s a very accurate depiction of what it must be like, mentally and emotionally.

Truck Design Exploration + Research: LO1 + LO2
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Deciding to look back into food trucks and pop up shops, I found these three examples which i found to be really interesting. I noticed similarities between the three of them, which was branded merchandise, some sort of branded beverage or food, and flyers.
I wanted to gather design inspiration to start moving forward with the designing process, looking at what visual information they provide and where its applied.
What I gathered is the bus itself usually just holds the branding with very little information, aside from the brand name or title drawing you in. The information is provided more with the items on display, or the flyers.

I then started to initiate my own design process, thinking of ways of applying the branding I had made into a bus. I played around with a couple of visual concepts, however felt they looked too much like a food truck, and not a skin company. I asked my family for their thoughts, where they agreed with my observation.
Tumblr media
In order to take this idea further, I think i need to think about the specific information i am dispersing, and that will help me design the bus itself. This will allow me to see what visual information is needed + where, thinking about the audiences experience.
