Posing 

Edwin Georgi created this work, "Posing", using oil paint applied with energetic brushstrokes. Look closely, and you can see the texture of the canvas coming through. Georgi’s technique, almost feverish in its application, seems to embrace the qualities of immediacy and movement. The vibrant colors, especially the yellows and reds, are layered in such a way that they almost vibrate on the surface. There’s a dynamism here that speaks to the fast-paced world of early 20th-century commerce, and the glamour associated with it. It's worth noting that Georgi was best known for his advertising work. By bringing the sensibility of fine art to commercial image-making, and vice versa, he blurred the lines between the rarefied world of galleries and the everyday world of marketing. This intermingling reflects a broader shift, where artistic skill becomes a tool within capitalist modes of production. Remember, the meaning of art resides not just in what is depicted, but how it is made, and to what end.
