I found this gorgeous Japanese-inspired piece by Van Gogh today.. a friend showed it to me, and I fell in love with it instantly. It's not one of his most popular works but it should be!

Well, in fact this is not an artwork in the classical sense but it "evolved" over hundreds of years and one still doesn't know much about how old it is exactly. I find it rather fascinating!

I use alot of art as fashion inspiration, so much of my favorite work is figure based.
Right now I'm obsessed with Hans Bellmer

lady writing a letter with her maid by jan vermeer

dl.ket.org

the girl standing by the window is not a maid at all but a pregnant lady. the lady writing the letter is possibly writing something concerning the baby to come. also, in the painting behind, it depicts the story of the rescue of baby moses by pharaoh's daughter.
i just found out some very interesting things on vermeer's composition at vermeersriddlerevealed.com

Is there a reason for the pentagram?

 

[Gloria01]

^That has something to do with the symmetry.

Polaroid Self Portrait
90 Polaroids, 2007[/FONT]

In this project, Polaroids are removed from their case in a darkroom, laid flat and exposed as a single, light sensitive array. After they are exposed, they are reinserted into the pack and –with the lens now covered- can be processed by simply pressing the camera's shutter and processing the film by ejecting it from the camera. By separating one-step photography into two irreducible steps of photochemical photography: exposure and chemical process, I disrupt the authority and authenticity inherent to Polaroid imaging. I am able to disorient an audience's preconceived understanding of how the world around them works.

„Cotton candy stand”
ARGENTINA, Buenos Aires
Self-welded sales stand approx. two metres high in the pedestrian zone. Old parasol stand onto which four square tubes have been welded at regular intervals, into which the sticks of pink cotton candy are placed. Cotton candy in transparent plastic bags, so that it stays fresh for longer. The base of the stand is welded together from tyre irons.
