Anton Redman Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 About 20 years ago I purchased a print / montage entitled this. The only clue that the 50 photographs were taken in France is the tractor. If anybody has knows anything more about the artist and or where an unfaded copy could be purchased I would be very grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letrangere Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 No but it's the loveliest subject for a thread, in fact I was half expecting it to be the title of a book. Why not send it (if you dare) to LF magazine? Perhaps Lucy will print it and ask readers for ideas? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furry Knickers Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Yes, this so beuatiful and heartwarming to find such a lovely subject among all the topics on sex and killing and torture of innocent creatures, and the sadness that blights the lives of some of the members and the poor hot rabbits that I read about this morning.I am looking at the leaves falling from me beautiful trees everyday, they are like tears falling to the ground, why would a thing of such beauty have to cry? will me trees ever stop crying? I hope they will! but when me trees stop crying, I shall I start to cry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bezarderie Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Oh come off it FK, you know damn well the leaves have got to come off for their life cycle to continue. Will you still be crying when they burst into life again next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you are one of those dominatrixes are you?I remember when I was a young lad in County Kildare, back then we could play dominatrix for hours on end, it was a big event in our village when the dominatrix came out! We never had much else to ammuse us. People now though would find it so boring with not enough sex and violence.I can't help crying when I see me beautiful trees become skelingtons, It is a sad sight after seeing them in all their glory throughout the summer. Wearing their shimmering red and blue overcoats, and their elegant pink gloves and their dainty little yellow shoes. I shall smile again when the springtime brings their beautiful new garments.

la bezarderie Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Sorry FK but you really are missing the point of the cycle of life. Having just returned from the days stint of picking up cider apples (3 tonne this year) and stripping the chilli pepper plants (enough to supply a small country) I'm having trouble matching your whimsicality.Not a dominatrix but defnitely grumpy old woman because my back hurts. Never mind, will be dark earlier tonight so can curl up with a seed catalogue and plan to do it all over again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I've got the print, still in the frame but stored in the garage so I can't get to it. I bought my copy from a wonderful healthfood shop and cafe in Lavender Hill, SW London, long since closed down.Always a joy to look at but I didn't think it was French but British.

letrangere Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 "Lavender Hill, SW London"Have loved the film for as long as I can remember and it has a strong French connection so I don't feel as if I'm completely hijacking the thread. Until a year or so ago I assumed it was a fictional place but then I got lost whilst trying to find my way from Barnes to Clapham and couldn't believe my eyes when I eventually spotted a sign saying, "Lavender Hill". (I was still lost but that's neither here nor there!) The shops struck me as being worth a visit and still just the sort of place to pick up the type of print you mention.

Anton Redman Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 Many thanks everybody will follow up on the museum suggestion.Bizarre coincidence but almost 50 years ago my Dad worked for Lavender Hil Dry Cleaners who were based in Battersea/ Clapham Junction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lael Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hello Adam, I'm writing to you from Canada. This is a long-shot but I'm wondering if you might be able to help. We, too, had a copy of the poster "A Year in the Life of a Walnut Tree" complete with 50 images and French tractor which I believe dated from the mid-'70s. My husband gave it to my stepson in London a number of years ago and it was treasured by him. While Oliver was moving house recently, the moving van was stolen together with many important personal items and memories including this poster. I'd love to be able to replace it for him. Were you ever able to track down the name of the artist or a copy of the poster? Sincerely, Lael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lael Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 P.S. You may wonder how I reached you. When I typed "A Year in the Life of a Walnut Tree Poster" into Google this thread was the only one that came up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Lael - Welcome to the forum, I hope Pomme's link works for you.As you'll realise this is an old thread, and I don't think any of the posters still post on here. Maybe Labezarderie (?) posts on another forum.I think Anton returned to live in the UK a few years ago.Hoping you replace your picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]I do believe that if you took time off from being grumpy that you would see the trees for the leaves?" I hope they will! but when me trees stop crying, I shall I start to cry!" You might realise that if the 'trees stopped crying' every year then they would have cried their last. If you can't leave your grumpy behind then you may try holding your posts until you can instead of diving in and looking silly [kiss][kiss]?
