Design History Post 1 - Oct. 12, 2009

-Artist: Jules Cheret
-
Title: Pippermint
-Date: late 1800's

Desc: This piece in particular was interesting as it appears less friendlier than some of Cheret's other works. The interesting use of composition (note: shadow in the background gives appearance of either fear or death) and color (note: warmer tones with splash of pastel) also help make this piece stand out when comparing with many of Cheret's other works.
