Vincent van Gogh

Posted by Journal with Cover Design on Thursday, August 2, 2018, In : Design Ranges 
Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch expressionist, sadly known for cutting his ear off after arguing with Gauguin. He suffered violent mood swings which often left him suicidal (he took his own life age 37). Other moods charged his creativity. In the 2 months prior to his death Van Gogh completed a work every single day.

Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa

Posted by Journal with Cover Design on Wednesday, August 1, 2018, In : Design Ranges 
Hokusai was a Japanese print-maker who lived in the early 19th Century and had no less than thirty different names during his lifetime! The iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa is the first print from a large series, which he created under the name Katsushika Hokusai during his sixties (when he was widely regarded to be producing his best work … so it’s never too late!).
