This is the one post that I stop talking about advertising and branding, and just share with you what I like in art. It might be a photograph or painting, any medium that inspires me.
Let me know what you think about it, and share what inspires you. I get my greatest creative energy from the people around me.
I am taking a class now about art and architecture in the Iberian peninsula. The focus is on classical architecture that is translated through a lens and than appropriated in another culture. A lot of characteristically Roman architecture was subject to this appropriation. This photograph from National Geographic is a perfect depiction of the Roman visual vocab of the column being translated centuries late. The columns (designed by Glan Lorenzo Bernini in the 16th cnetury) dwarf the pedestrians at the Piazza San Pietro.
What I also love about this photo is the candid flight of the birds and the boy playing. I prefer images that are less staged and more experience. I think thats why I gravitate to travel photos of cultures, people and animals in their natural environment. Sorry if my images graviate towards that category.
Enjoy my new installment!
