Lithograph on paper // Joe Tilson’s Mnemonic Device (1975) is a striking lithograph that fuses conceptual art with visual poetry. The composition, a circular diagram, integrates symbols, words, and images to explore themes of time, nature, and the classical elements: fire, earth, air, and water. Surrounding the diagram are notations referencing seasons, ancient alphabets, and mythological associations, creating a dynamic interplay between textual and visual elements. Tilson draws inspiration from ancient cosmology and cultural archetypes, presenting a multi-layered work that invites reflection on the interconnectedness of natural cycles and human understanding. The limited-edition print measures 104 x 74.5 cm and showcases Tilson’s mastery of graphic design and his affinity for blending modernist aesthetics with esoteric knowledge.

What is Kitsch?
Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
