Graffix

Here is a graphic I did for the daily. I was inspired by the way Matisse emphasizes movement and human form through the use of curvilinear forms (or what my prof calls the Arabesque). Interestingly, the onset of modern art was brought about by the turn towards the primitive by Western "avant-garde" artists appropriating the racial other. This has absolutely nothing to do about this graphic. Anyway, just an art historical thought for the day.
