Au Revoir

So this time next week I shall be packing my bags to travel to Paris for the weekend. I can't wait, so much great inspiration comes from France, Monet, Moulin Rouge, Toulouse-Lautrec and the Louvre. If I could name them all we would be sitting here for hours!
One of the most influential people for me is Toulouse-Lautrec, it was through seeing a few of his pictures in my Mothers art book at a young age that I gained a real respect and understanding for art which I still pursue today. So I really feel that in Paris I can broaden my knowledge on artists in buildings such as the Louvre, to hopefully become a great Art Director through looking at different styles and effects.

I shall leave you with some paintings of the Moulin Rouge Dancers by Toulouse-Lautrec along of some of the first ever true artistic advertisements he produced in the 1880's and hopefully if you have or haven't viewed these before you can appreciate the creative skill that has gone into them.
