Artist and Computer

Notes

35 computer artists in their own words — the classic 1976 survey (Whitney's Arabesque and Schwartz's Papillons on the back cover; Palyka's Self Portrait on the front; includes Edward Zajec, whose plotter works are in this collection). THIS COPY: original Creative Computing subscriber mailing — the book served as the May–Jun/Jul–Aug 1976 issues (Vol. 2, Nos. 3–4) of Creative Computing — complete with the original addressed mailer wrapper and a signed letter from publisher David H. Ahl explaining the book's unusual publication history (and apologizing to librarians about how to shelve it). Full text also free as HTML at atariarchives.org/artist. Attached PDF: rendered from the atariarchives.org full-text HTML edition (39 sections, generated 2026-07-16) — the physical copy photographed above is the primary object. Rights: David H. Ahl placed all his classic computing publications into the public domain in June 2022 (Anne Barela, Adafruit blog, 16 June 2022 — cited on his Wikipedia article). Individual third-party contributions within anthologies may retain their own authors' rights.
