About the Item

A New Year and Resolutions This graphite pencil drawing ˜Neo Deco “ 05-01-23 is the first of 2023. Last year I concluded with another work in the roundism style and now its time to move on. Lets see if I can combine styles and come up with something new. However, I am not such a person sticking to New Years resolutions necessarily. Its just that I feel like changing. Surely it has something to do with a statement I made last year. That is bringing the spotlight back on craft and aesthetics. Another One Last Christmas I made one under the same title and I was quite content with it. Not in the least because of the hefty dark and light distribution in the reference picture. It also felt as cheating a bit though. There was only so little I could add to the mix but a straight cubist styling. Not bad for spending a Christmas Day at your parents home but it tasted like more. I happened to have one more smashing reference picture. Unfortunately I can give no one credit for the photograph even though I google searched for it. Obviously its from the 1930s given the hairdo. Fortunately there are tons of art deco-ish pictures to be found on the internet. Style Naming Doubts Art Deco and also Jugenstil or Art Nouveau in french almost have become an obsession to me. Hence I read books in bed before sleeping, just to sharpen my mind. Now there are a couple of things bothering me. Sheer copying the style seems daft so I desperately try to relate the styling to modern times. See if I can drive a wedge in todays modern art. Another aspect is the decorative side. I dont really see me drawing and painting such patterns or even inventing them. I do not consider myself another Alphonse Mucha. Bleh, perhaps its better to call the whole naming thing off and forget about it. Except for the fact I already wrote down the title in this work. Constructional As to the actual execution of this piece, I tried to determine simple geometric shapes in the female form. I render them even ostentatiously, yet the overall impression of the light and dark is realistic. It is yet another attempt to force a cross-over in the eyes of the beholder. There is nothing more I want than to show something essential. Its that beauty and even emotions are constructed by an abundance of more simple forms. Pareidolian Deco?
