| an art deco poster. |
[Mar. 29th, 2007|01:29 am] |
The picture at left depicts a very Art Nouveau poster by an artist named T. Privat-Livemont, who I've been able to discover rather little about... except that he died in 1936, and because of that, his art, like that poster on the left, entered the public domain as of January 1 of this year. I wouldn't have gone to the effort to have made that page and found some of his works if I hadn't seen the date in that little book of Art Nouveau that Carin had. Here we see an excellent example of absinthe culture. Drugs back then were so much more interesting, y'know?
After work, I pretty much lounged around all evening. Carin had a biology exam, and was very, very stressed out about it (she did fine), but I was still soaking up that vacation-week vibe, and was able to wait on her a bit, which helped. It's a small thing for me, but it makes a big difference between the two of us. I should be nice more often.
No comments today; I was abusing Google Image search into finding me obscure turn of the century posters instead of being thoughtful and insightful. |
