Dmitri Moor

Help! 1921: The figure in this is thin, starving and the wheat stalk behind him looks ruined in reference to the agricultural aftermath of Russia's civil war in 1921. This is an extremely dramatic, moving image. Clear and striking.

What have YOU done to help the front? 1941: This reminds me very much of Uncle Sam and gives me a feeling of duty. I love how simple, yet authoritative, it is. I love the contrast and little use of color.

Workers of the World, Unite 1920: This poster is, again, dramatic and reminds me of a vector image. It has a powerful statement which grabs the attention of the audience.

From these three works, I can surmise that Moor created propaganda art. His messages are moving and direct. His art work is based on politics and economy.

Alphonse Mucha

Zodiac 1896: The zodiac symbols forming a circle around the head are eye catching.
I like the continue theme of circles throughout the image.

Bieres de la Muese 1899: Mucha's ethereal quality is extremely appealing, specifically in this image. The smaller pictures the woman is leaning on is a good concept, especially during the time period this was created.

Maud Adams as Joan of Arc 1909: I like the use of pastels and the decorated border in this image.

I'm also fascinated with the expression on the woman's face and the semi-transparent face above her.
