My proposal for this
project is to incorporate art deco elements onto posters from Eduardo Garcia
Benito that symbolize and really emphasis the basis of sexuality and rebellion.
Art Deco is a visual arts design style that first appeared in France after
World War I, it was popular throughout the world in the 1920s- 1940s
but after World War II it lost its spark. I would like to use the Art Deco
stylization because it’s a vibrate style that combines traditional craft
motifs with Machine Age imagery and materials. I researched Art deco to find a
better description of Art Deco for all of you to understand. "The style is
often characterized by rich colors, bold geometric shapes, and lavish
ornamentation." I feel that this sort of style was different during the
Modern Era and maybe not as accepted because it was an unusual combination of
elements onto one, but of course it was popular during the dates I
mentioned earlier.
Eduardo Garcia Benito was a portrait artist turned into the lead illustrator for Vogues elite team known as the “Beaux Brummel’s of the Brush.” I believe that his Vogue covers are reverent to the topic of “sexuality and rebellion” because Eduardo always tried to empower the woman figure with his interpretation of the feminine beauty, it was not any sort of photography it was his solemn work of art. And of course his art deco stylized art work made the Vogue covers a the entire meaning of cubism an upper class feel that originally was not considered to be the tradition esthetic beauty everyone was commonly used to, which I think was a rebellious movement for Eduardo to do.
Ultimately I’d like to gather his most popular and talked about Vogue magazine covers that best describe sexuality and rebellion, display them in a gallery space in a timeline format. I’d like to basically talk about the deeper meaning of the way he used art deco, his colors, and the usage of space for each element he placed on paper and what events were occurring during the same time that may have inspired him to create his art work.
