Cities


                                               

               I saw this post on Instagram and I thought it was cool and I think we all can relate to it. Inspiration can come from anywhere. For example, cities can inspire you. What captured my attention was the first sentence on the post: "The city is a walking mood board".

The artist,  Germaine Richier,   wanted to depict the subject of the chess game and its parts in this artwork. The stumpy supports of the little figures were converted into much taller individual bases of different heights on a larger scale, giving the figurines a greater sense of potential motion.  The King, the Queen, the Bishop, the Knight, and the Castle are the five main chess pieces found on the Chessboard. The Castle is the only piece that has three legs and is the most abstract of the figures. Each one of the chess pieces is a roughly humanoid figure that stands on two legs. The Castle's body is a long collection of horizontal and vertical surfaces that rise upward in the form of four stick-like p
