did you heard about Nell Brinkley?
i didn't until few weeks ago when i got smitten by her amazing portrait on Pinterest.
i love to know more about people that impress me and i usually get amazed by their work or their lives.
maybe it's true that photography is able to capture the soul or the energy of people,
or perhaps people irradiates such strength and personality that it passes through the image.
this is another case i got in love of someone and her/his work,
so here is Nell Brinkley (1886-1944), she was know as the "Queen of Comics."
..
There's a beautiful book published by Fantagraphics about her: "The Brinkley Girls",
look inside the book on their flickr
habíais oído hablar de Nell Brinkley?
yo nunca, hasta hace unas semanas cuando encontré un retrato suyo en
Pinterest.
a veces me quedo pillada con la fotografía de alguien y tengo que empezar a curiosear,
suelo quedarme pillada con sus trabajos, o con sus vidas.
igual es cierto que la fotografía pueda capturar el alma o la energía de la gente,
o quizás algunas personas irradien una energía y personalidad tal que traspasa la foto.
este es otro de los casos en los que me he enamorado de alguien y de su trabajo,
así que aquí está
Nell Brinkley (1886-1944), conocida como la "Reina de los Cómics"
..
hay un libro publicado por
Fantagraphics sobre ells: "
The Brinkley Girls",

Detail of "The Brides"
"... Nell Brinkley was known for her ability to personify the 1920s move towards modernity, and to interpret Victorian tradition through the eyes of her flapper heroine, the Brinkley girl. In this inspired and tremendously fun pen and ink illustration, two Brinkley girls are seen in an all out battle to catch a bridal bouquet tossed by an unseen hand. In an ironic turn, they become so engrossed in their conflict that the flowers they are fighting for appear about to fall to the ground. The frenzied scene, with its youthful energy and sexuality suggests the ambivalence of Brinkley's new woman towards traditional marriage."
