So as requested, I'm working on an Art Nouveau spam. It'll probably be up on Friday because a) I have to edit the pictures so they're all the same size and not RIDICULOUSLY HUGE and the ones in series are all put together. Plus, it's taking an annoyingly long time to find artists. You would think they'd all be listed on Wikipedia, but no. I have some serious complaints about the Wikipedia article. Half the artists they link to are so obscure there's only a sentence written about them, and a good deal of them aren't Art Nouveau at all but Art Deco. A bunch are just... I don't even know what, but there is nothing Art Nouveau-y about them. Like Klimt. Why is Klimt listed as being Art Nouveau when he clearly is not? SHAPE UP WIKIPEDIA.
/PRETENTIOUS
Anyway, while I was taking a break and nosing around tumblr, like I do, I came across this picture of Joseph Gordon-Levitt:

NONE OF YOU THOUGHT TO ALERT ME TO THE EXISTENCE OF THIS PICTURE? NO ONE AT ALL? YOU ARE ALL FIRED. FIRED.
...aaaaaand that's really all. This entry is pretty much an excuse to drool over the above picture and also a shameless request for people to play with me. Comment party? Anyone want to talk about how great Raising Hope was last night? Slash how hard they want to ship Jimmy/Sabrina with me? Or how awesome that chick from Garfunkel and Oates is in it? Want me to convince you to watch Hawaii 5-0 so I have someone to keyboard mash to in realtime? Anybody at all? Beuller?

Date: 2010-11-24 10:59 pm (UTC)Klimt didn't only paint, is the rub. He did a lot of typography and poster art for the Vienna Secession and its publications. Some of it is extraordinarily weird (modern for the time sure and even weird now because he leaves these big ass white spaces and doesn't fill them in and it's just VISUALLY WEIRD). It's just that we remember him for his fine art.
Andre... HAS DISAPPEARED. I will let him know. He'll probably brag about it later.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-24 11:03 pm (UTC)There are certain aspects of Klimt that are Art Nouveau-y, like his commercial woodcuts, but in general he's far more abstract than Art Nouveau. I see Art Nouveau as a lead up to Art Deco and the golden age of illustration, and Klimt is just.... way in the other corner doing his own thing.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-24 11:08 pm (UTC)Of course, as I type that he goes away again.
I do get you about Klimt. He wasn't Cheret or Toulouse-Lautrec by any means. There's a reason he's not remembered for his design work like some other people he was working with. ahaha and there's a reason people remember the French (and Mucha but hey he worked in France) designers and don't think of the Austrian and German ones who were doing similar things. THEY DIDN'T DO THEM VERY LONG.
