Alphonse Mucha & Audrey Kawasaki

Audrey Kawasaki & Alphonse Mucha
A4 sketchbook scan of a page studying Alphonse Mucha and Audrey Kawasaki. This page is from my AS Level coursework project. These pages compare and contrast the work of these artists and also includes 3 artist copies and my own interpretation of Audrey Kawasaki's work. I chose to look at these artists as they both included women and nature in their work yet interpreted them in very different ways. Mucha's women are portrayed in a very statuesque and innocent way which differs to  Kawasaki's women which look like there is more to the women that meets the eye
