<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgan1878, post: 590338, member: 17869&quot;]So..back from the bike ride..did a little digging.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This whole discussion started when I stated that Arizona Jack incorrectly labeled the SLQ as Art Deco. I stated that it was Neo-Classical. We&#039;re both wrong. It&#039;s Art Nouveau..which gapped Neo-classicism and Art Deco.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you hadn&#039;t been as persistent in pounding a few facts my way..I would know less about the art movements in this period than I do now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One of the things I learned about the SLQ was that the first design in 1916 incited a fair amount of public outraqe due to the exposure of Liberty&#039;s breast. A re-design in 1917 covered her up..to her neck..in chain mail. Also, the eagle on the reverse was modified. You probably know all of this, but to me, it&#039;s a revelation. But then again, I haven&#039;t been around coin collecting that long.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What I do have, however is a long term passion for art. I&#039;ve painted for many years. My style is influenced by the southwest light of Georgia O&#039;Keeffe and to some extent the surrealism of Dali. A great hobby in the Northwest when the weather precludes outdoor activities. At times in the past, I&#039;ve done product photography (bicycling industry) as well as graphic design and layout. A year ago, I finished tiling our fireplace in the family room. Other than the grouting, it was fun. I&#039;m currently working on a 3&#039; x 4&#039; canvas which is about 90% complete. As Picasso once said &quot;There&#039;s no such thing as a finished painting, only an abandoned one&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
