For this post, I combined a picture I took of a recent cover of Harpers Bazaar and combined it, using facebook, with a cover of Harper's Bazaar done in the 1930's by A.M. Cassandre. I am doing Cassandre for my second presentation so I have been researching a lot of his past art and have seen quite a few of his designs for the Harper Bazaar's covers and it just amazes me the difference between the cover design from then and now. The recent cover features an entertainment icon, singing sensation Beyonce Knowles with a relatively simple background with almost no color. The design by Cassandre is an abrstract illustration with a multitude of colors and is far from "simple."
