Marion Johnson photographs Marion Johnson (1917 - 1998) was born in Geneva, Georgia, and moved to Atlanta in 1936, joining his sister who worked as office secretary for the Atlanta Constitution. At her suggestion, Johnson took a job doing errands for the paper. While there, he was approached by Kenneth Rogers, head of the photography department, who encouraged him to study photography in his spare time. After serving as a photographer in World War II, Johnson returned to the Atlanta Constitution and was eventually named head of the photography department, a position he held from 1951 – 1980. The collection provides documentation of the Atlanta urban environment, especially of the 1950s and 1960s, through cityscapes, aerial views, and scenes of individual buildings as the city underwent a period of building and growth.

Mail Art Participatory, democratic, personal, and expressive as a form of artwork, Mail Art is sent, given, or exchanged via the postal service. A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like- minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot-topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture. All forms of material and artistic techniques come into play. Mail Art explores the material nature of language. Rubber stamps, stickers, paint, and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items ranging from common postcards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art. In the late 1950s, he founded the New York Correspondence School , and the New York Correspondance School bunny is an image frequently collaged into works of Mail Art. The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection. Readers may also be interested in the Mail Art at the Poetry Collection website. Mail Art 289.
