Woman with peacock
by Edmond Aman-Jean
ReplyDeleteWatching a peacock open its tail feathers is a marvelous sight indeed. Very beautiful yet somehow threatening. Hard to explain.
These are wonderful art pieces, but I'm particularly intrigued by Edmond Aman-Jean's Woman with Peacock. The woman, with her bright yellow dress, totally upstages the peacock. Nice twist.
Some beautiful artwork here! By coincidence, I'll be including my own peacock photo (from the Philly Zoo) in my post tomorrow. Love that Poe quote too!
