Alphonse Mucha's "Winter"

Nationality: Czech
Born-Died: 1860-1939

Creation Date: 1896

Media: *

Location: Private Collection

* On Wikimedia (the source of this image) the medium is listed as "Oil on panel" which doesn't seem right at all to me.  I was always under the impression that this was a lithograph.  When I saw a similar Mucha poster in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, it was definitely a print of some kind and I suspect this is a print as well.

Great Art-Bad Philosophy Week: Egon Schiele's "Standing Male Nude with Red Loincloth"

This week I'm going to showcase great works of art which reflect some sort of terrible philosophical stance. Many of these works I enjoy and respect from an artistic standpoint though I don't share the artist's philosophy.



Egon Schiele was a brilliant artist who died at 28. From my understanding of his life and views, I would guess that he was an incredibly whiney and immature individual, despite his artistic brilliance.

Margaret MacDonald's "Willowood"

I like Margaret MacDonald's fanciful and strangely designed images. The Scottish Art Nouveau artists bear a strong resemblance to the Viennese Secession artists and both movements had nice work.
