Black Twill with Embroidery Metallic Gold Thread Merrowed Edge Iron on Backing Exquisite corpse refers to an artistic method or game invented by the Surrealists that joins together contributions from multiple participants. A visual iteration has someone draw on a piece of paper, fold it to cover their addition, pass it on to the next person, and the next, and the next, etc., with each new person adding to the work. Once complete, the final drawing is revealed showing a collectively assembled work. The inability to see the previously drawn portions results in the creation of fantastical and nonsensical creatures, turning an innocent game into a generative artistic practice. Show off your art history chops and have a built in conversation starter at your next get together with our ‘Exquisite Corpse’ patch. Who knows - maybe you’ll even start your own game! Comes packaged with Pin Museum branded backer card, and a protective polybag.

Rubber Clasp Inspired by "JOB" by Alphonse Mucha Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was an artist and graphic designer active during the Art Nouveau period in Paris. While he started his career in the art world, he soon found commercial success through advertising posters that frequently employed the female figure. A notable example is his poster "JOB" (1896) which features a nude woman to help promote JOB brand cigarette papers. The advertisement is clearly a product of its time, as the woman’s long, flowing hair is highly stylized and mirrors the lifting smoke from her lit cigarette, evoking the decorative aesthetics of Art Nouveau.

Soft Enamel Pin Single Posted Rubber Clasp Inspired by Medusa by Caravaggio Painted on canvas attached to a round wooden shield, Caravaggio’s (1571-1610) "Medusa" takes on a doubly mythological meaning. Both versions of the work, one painted in 1596 and the other in 1597, depict the figure Medusa after she was slain by Perseus, showing her decapitated head streaming with blood. The painted shield was a conscious choice, as Perseus used a mirrored shield during his attack to avoid Medusa’s petrifying gaze. Painting in the Baroque style, Caravaggio emphasized Medusa’s shocked face and the writhing snakes of her hair, capturing her at the exact moment between life and death.

Soft Enamel Pin Single Posted Rubber Clasp Inspired by "The Ambassadors" by Hans Holbein the Younger Hans Holbein the Younger (c. 1497-1543) was a German printmaker and painter who is considered one of the most skilled portraitists of the 16th century. His 1533 painting "The Ambassadors" features two such meticulous portraits, alongside a still life of symbolic objects, including a lute, a hymn book, a glove, and a sundial — a grouping that has inspired continued debate about the painting’s larger meaning. It is most well known, however, for its anamorphic, distorted skull in the lower center of the composition. A mode of representation invented in the Early Renaissance, the skull can only be accurately perceived when viewed from a high angle on the right, or a low angle on the left. Its inclusion is typically understood as a memento mori, a symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death. Comes packaged with Pin Museum branded backer card, and a protective polybag.
