Julius Klinger - 1909

(Apologies for the bad reproduction quality- photographed from a book, unfortunately)

I am not a fan of centaurs, but I had not previously considered centaurs in early 1900s swimwear.

I posted the following on my personal facebook page the other day: “maybe I’ll try to do one completed drawing a day? For 40 days. LIKE JESUS. But with more nudity.”

So, yeah. I’m doing it. A completed drawing a day. This is the first. Drawing #1 for Lent. Evelyn Nesbit and John Barrymore. Beautiful, young and drunk on too much wine.

Pendant, ca. 1900  |Gold, enamel, mother-of-pearl, opal, emerald, colored stones, gold paint
This remarkable pendant marks a high point in the three-year partnership of Georges Fouquet, the renowned French jeweler, and Alphonse Mucha, the Czech graphic artist whose work has become synonymous with Art Nouveau style.
