Fauvism is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a group of early twentieth-century modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.
"Fashion Shop" (1914) by August Macke [1887-1914].

Sadly, Macke, died in France, during the early months of World War I.
A cherita is a haiku-like poem of three stanzas that tells a "story." The first stanza is one line and sets the scene. Stanza two is two lines, stanza three is three lines. A cherita terbalik is a cherita with the order of the stanzas rearranged.
Even from so long ago, "all the color that is needed" is still true today. Good statement, Diane.
ReplyDeleteSadly, hats used a lot of birds' feathers in the pursuit of fashion.
DeleteCatching up on my cheritas today. I love this one!
