choosing a calendar is a way for me to set the tone and intention of my year. the passage of days will be marked this year with the art of Alphonse Mucha. (above "Dusk")
after a semester of drawing the human body, i enjoy Mucha even more. i appreciate the aloof, but profound sensuality... his use of color and strong lines, always inviting. the movements of his ever-serene women are as strong as the current pulling you away from a tropical island.
when deciding on a piece to add to this blog, i found an artist who is inspired by Mucha and who i intend to look into further. Dario Stefanou did the pure temptation apple advertising piece below...
