MELA KOEHLER

Fashion Illustration

My school text books mentioned Hoffmann and Moser in connection with Art Noveau and barely mentioned the Wiener Werkstatte and certianly didnt mention the many women associated with this group who were excellent designers illustrators and crafters such as Mela Koehler.

This is one of her works! Enjoy!

WIENER WERKSTATTE

I love the style

This is a book I don't own myself but borrow from the library 2 or 3 times a year for inspiration and reference. I highly recommend it!

My favorite book on the wiener werkstatte

ENJOY!

TINA BLAU

AUSTRIAN
IMPRESSIONIST
PAINTER

While I was doing for images of Wiener Werkstatte artists and designers I came across the works of Tina Blau.

We think of hte Impressionists as being French but we forget about the INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE of the Impressionism movement.

Landscape by Tina blau

She didnt juut do landscapes though.

This is one of the few male nudes I've seen painted by a female artist BEFORE the 20th century. Remember this is 19th century art.

Tina Blau

Another landscape. Or a churchscape?

Conservative compared to Monet or Renoir but think of Manet and why he was considered radical?

Finally the artist herself

Enjoy!

The Greatest Easter Painting is ?

The greatest Easter Painting is ...

well my nomination would go to Grunewald's Isenheim Altarpiece as its images capture both the Horror and Joy of Easter and his Resurrection well !
