These retro mixed-media collages by Vivian Strauss are right up my alley! I'm a big collector of vintage advertisements (and vintage cameras, and vintage typewriters, and vintage....). I love the funky way she puts her collages together. Such creativity and spontaneity goes into each piece!
Here's a little bit more about the artist taken from her Etsy profile page:
"Vivienne Strauss has a degree in Philosophy but has had no formal training in the arts. She is primarily a painter but also likes to work with collage. She is inspired by classic films, both foreign and American, vintage photographs and fashion as well as by what she reads or hears. Often a well written phrase or an interesting sounding name will develop into a painting or even a a whole series of them. Vivienne fills her watercolor paintings with whimsical details and humorous stories. Her characters seem to write their own dialogue as she creates them in paint. She has shown her work in Manchester, UK, NYC, Portsmouth, NH, Seattle, WA, and Tokyo. She currently has work showing with Three Ravens Gallery in Ardmore, PA, and Sebastian Foster Gallery in Austin, TX."
You can also find Vivienne's work online as well as in her other Etsy shops!
