Art Bridge

Well, I found my book of Brunelleschi, but I'm on deadline and only have time for one of his paintings for now. This is one of his early works from 1905, seeming to bridge art nouveau to art deco.

Umberto's Scheherazade


Received this image from lotusgreen in response to previous post of a similar drawing. It's a costume design for Scheherazade by Umberto Brunelleschi.

I will be posting more of Brunelleschi when I retrieve from storage.

Danseuse Orientale

Umberto Brunelleschi. Wonderful name. Full of wonder illustrator, of which a Paris critic wrote: 'His art has nothing realistic about it. He would not know how to evoke modern life with its huge factories and streets full of people. But the world of fiction, which is so much more beautiful than the world of men, that he makes real.'
