Love the creativity of the peacock feather motif.
ReplyDeleteNext time I see a real peacock I will take a closer look to spot the simularities...
ReplyDeleteIt's in the eye pattern inscribed in the crescent design above her head - the same pattern in a peacock feather.
ReplyDeleteMucha must have loved peacocks! Or he lived nearby a peacock farm. Or it's an art-nouveau style thing. Or maybe it's a secret code (like the freemasons).
ReplyDeleteRob, just out of curiosity, I checked to see if Mucha was a freemason. I did not know that he was the person responsible for restoring Czech Freemasonry.

OMG you're right! I really didn't know. Spooky stuff. I think we're onto something here...
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to have to start examining your Mucha postings more closely now.
