After studying the work of Christer Stromholm, I thought about other 'French' art that captures the decadent nature of certain cities. The founder of Art Nouveau, Alphonse Mucha has to have a mention here. The aesthetic nature of his work, showing the female form with intoxicating swirls and colours, is something that may lend itself to my project.
Job, 1896
The Precious Stones, Ruby, Amethyst, Emerald, Topaz, 1900
Lance Parfum Rodo, 1896
I find his style extraordinary for the time period. A very technical ability mixed with a graphic design, that wouldn't be out of place today.
His use of borders and flat colour is very appealing and how these relate to the main subject is something that I'd like to try and investigate for the subjects of my work.
