Drew this quick artwork for the cover of my next video, about Dazzle Camouflage. Inspired by the art deco paintings of c1918. Not a perfect drawing, but nice to draw something a bit different.

Drawn by a human, for humans. #Art

Georgia O’Keeffe : The Flag, 1918

Watercolor on paper
30.3 × 22.4 cm | 11-15⁄16 × 8-13⁄16 in

The painting was first publicly displayed in 1968. It is currently in the collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum.

"The Flag" represents O'Keeffe's anxiety about her brother being sent to fight in Europe during World War I. The war was particularly controversial and dangerous because of its use of new modern weapons and tactics, like the machine gun, mustard gas, naval mines and torpedoes, high-powered artillery guns, and combat aircraft. "Everything seems to be whirling or unbalanced, I'm suspended in the air, can't get my feet on the ground... I should think going to war would be a great relief from this everlasting reading about it, thinking about it, hearing talk about it, whether one believed in it or not, it is a state that exists and experiencing it in reality seems preferable to the way we are all being soaked with it second hand, it is everywhere… it's all like a bad dream." ~ Georgia O'Keeffe, in a letter to Paul Strand O'Keeffe was in a state of depression and anxiety about the war and did not paint for 3 months. While she understood why it was important militarily, she, like many Americans who initially opposed U.S. involvement, found it at odds with humanism and basic Christian beliefs. O'Keeffe's brother, Alexius, was stationed in a military camp in Texas before he shipped out for Europe during World War I. She visited him there in the fall of 1917, and was anxious about his fate. He was one of the first soldiers sent to France and did not believe that he would return to the United States alive. O'Keeffe became quite ill from influenza during the 1918 flu pandemic, which had killed an estimated 20 million people worldwide, and took a leave of absence from her teaching position at the West Texas State Normal College in early 1918 to recuperate at a friend's ranch in San Antonio, where she painted "The Flag."

Violet Oakley is counted among the principle figures of the American Renaissance, a movement of artists in the late 19thC and early 20thC who advocated for the cultural renewal and spiritual revitalisation of American life. This portrait (c1918) is of the painter William Langson Lathrop.

Illustration of a grizzly bear in a mountainous North American landscape, dated circa 1918. The bear is shown in profile, standing on rocky ground with its large, muscular body covered in thick brown fur with lighter patches around the shoulders. Its head is lowered, sniffing or investigating a rock. The background features rolling hills, grassy fields, and distant snow-capped mountains under a pale sky. The scene captures the bear's natural habitat and physical strength, emphasizing the rugged wilderness typical of grizzly bears.
