Something about the distorted, deranged elegance of egon schielle's work reminds me of ccp. does poell acknowledge schiele as an influence?
"He described this initial impetus as like discovering that they both were looking at the same intriguing specific tropical fish, with attempts to understand it leading to a huge ferocious formalism he characterizes as a shark that leapt out of the tank."

I think it's more of a word-of-mouth common knowledge, although there maybe something at www.mak.atFashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Yes^ I am almost positive that in the publications section there is an article from around 2004(?) that shows one of his designs sketches bearing a striking resemblance to Egon's figures both in style and proportion. I believe that the sketch has also been posted either here or on tfs but am uncertain.Originally posted by AVALANCHEis this an example of how not to wear ccp?

I think I found the sketch, on page 3."He described this initial impetus as like discovering that they both were looking at the same intriguing specific tropical fish, with attempts to understand it leading to a huge ferocious formalism he characterizes as a shark that leapt out of the tank."

The comparison (and the sketch) is well-known indeed, but i don't think there is a single declaration from Poell or a reported explicit statement that Schiele and the whole viennese group are an influence for his work. Beyond the mere formal resemblance, to be able to draw a legitimate comparison, you have to ask yourself: what are the ideas and feelings conveyed by Schiele's work and by Poell's work? Do they share anything in common? What?
I would be very interested to read what people here have to say on this actually...pix

the article with the image of the sketch is what I scanned for mak.
and there is nothing that mentions a name of schiele there.
though long ago I said something about schiele, using that sketch, it's just an atbirary interpretation and is not anything official, just to make it clear.
also as far as I know, schiele has not ever been mentioned in connection with ccp in any official way.
when he was asked about any influence of art on him, he didn't answer by reason of its being personal.
( instead, about fashion, answered he found the 60's the most impressive )

but why 'arbitrary' interpretation? it might be motivated, even if it is not taken from an official declaration of the man, don't you think?pix

Carol's work is definitely one of the very very few things out there where the wearer may be annoyed by things such as dye transfer onto brighter clothing/hands/body but will just adapt by wearing darker clothing or was their hands more after wearing.

on a different note, watched Rape of Europa this weekend and was intrigued to find out that Schiele entered Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna in 1906. The same institution that one year later rejected a young Hitler (and then again in 1908).www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs
