Excited To Be Reminded About Leyendecker Though - Blog Posts

arcane aesthetic-like artists

Alphonse Mucha - arguably the most obvious influence with art nouveau, if you’ve seen fanart of characters in elaborate nature-themes frames that was his whole shtick

(though interestingly he considered his most important work the Slav Cycle, twenty massive paintings—i’m talking dimensions from thirteen to twenty six feet—that i have to mention because i had the pleasure of actually seeing a couple in person)

J. C. Leyendecker - couple descending staircase and couple dancing are frequently used reference images and rightfully so, he has a more grounded style than mucha but it’s still rich with detail

Erté - lots of stylization but leaning towards 1920s aesthetics and bolder colors and contrasts

(i will endeavor to add more later but right now i’m very tired so i’ll try to go sleep)
