brunswick street art #5

  

Its been awhile since I've posted pictures of the street art around the Rose St Markets, but the wait is over.

Black, white and red. Such a classic colour combination. One that has been used over and over again by so many artists and designers.

When I see this colour combination I think, Russian posters, Constructivism the Russian Art Movement, El Lissitzky's typographic works, the Bauhaus, Alexey Brodovitch...(you know what's interesting, everything I've listed is Russian, except for the Bauhaus, and all are from a similar period in history).

What does black, white and red mean to you?

brunswick street art #3

Week 3 - more art from the streets around Rose St Market.

The first week Drew saw this little girl she was sans playing cards. The next week the cards appeared. This made him smile.

Hope it makes you smile too!
