I just saw a commercial for the "Cheltenham Mall" -shout out to all old Tyler inhabitants. Anyway let's get down to busyness. I went to the Met this past Saturday with my Impressionism class. The Impressionist movement is one of my favorites and the work in France shortly made after that period is probably my second favorite. Needless to say I was actually pumped to see some hundred year old paintings. Here are a few documents of the trip. I'm only uploading images that inform my work currently.
My interest in pattern, specifically the paisley and filigree type floral patterns is an aesthetic that is integral in all visual things I am drawn to. I never really knew why I loved Mucha and Klimt, or why my favorite pattern was paisley and why I loved henna tattoos. After working through this lace extravaganza, I still have not figured out why these patterns are like math equations in my head. But they are what I like and now I realize it is an aesthetic that spans everything in my life. Something for me to investigate further...
