Tapestries
Description: Summer sits lethargically at the side of a pond, lounging while dipping her feet into the cool water and resting on a branch of ivy. She wears a crown of crimson poppies in her deep brunette strands of gentle curls, and her thin white robes appear to be falling off with the heat of the summer day. Her sultry and beguiling gaze draws the viewer into the intimate scene. Work by the famous Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha.
Description: Ephraim Moses Lilien was an art nouveau illustrator and printmaker particularly noted for his art on Jewish and Zionist themes. He is sometimes called the “first Zionist artist.” This 1906 depiction of a nude woman with a snake surrounded by books is sure to express your viewpoint.
