Horses

I had a professor once who was very well know for his photo realism art depicting the subject matter of physicality. My favorite of his work are his pictures depicting horses. He has a unique eye to capture every muscle and physical attribute to these horses through physical activities of movement such as jumping . It was absolutely magnificent to have known him and to see his work. His name is Joesph Piccillo, and he actually hung out with artists such as Cindy Sherman and Robert Longo. It's was pretty cool to hear about his stories of them too.

So I was Inpired by the stark contrast of black and white in his work and when I bought this dress by Xhileration a few years back from Target, I knew why I picked it as a wardrobe choice. It reminded me of my professor from college Joseph Piccillo. The inspiration is right there in the fabric print reminding me of his Horses.


 Here is my outfit of the day that is inspired by his artwork.
