The Alphabet in Art

Hopefully nobody assumed I was going to just put up letters from the alphabet and call it a day. That wouldn't be any fun. Today's content revolves around using the alphabet as art. The links below all have to do with artists and art that somehow relates to the alphabet. There's more out ther than this, but that will be saved for a later time.

The above image contains a work by Heidi Cody, an artist from Brooklyn that is known for using corporate logos to create art. Her most popular work, "American Alphabet" uses letters from common brand logos to create the alphabet.

"The Alphabet as Art" is an exhibit of many different artists using letters from the alphabet as the inspiration.

"Alphabet" is a collection of paintings by Jonathan Weinberg centered around words.

The Alphabet Synthesis Machine is interactive online artwork. Visitors can create their own "nonsensical alphabets" and submit them to the site to be displayed for everyone.

Another online exhibit, titled "the alphabet", takes photographs from a magazine and then cuts them into shapes that resemble letters from the alphabet.
