Wauw! Prachtige illustraties van de meest invloedrijke vrouwen ter wereld

Soms kom je van die dingen tegen op het internet, waar je gewoon kippenvel van krijgt. Deze illustraties van Vix Harris zijn daar een perfect voorbeeld van. Vix maakt illustraties van vrouwen die veel invloed hebben gehad op onze maatschappij en noemt haar kunstcollectie #50RebelWomen.

Deze vrouwen (en rebels zijn ze zeker, op een goede manier) hebben laten zien hoeveel power zij in zich hebben zitten. Een ode aan deze helden en iconen:

4. Josephine Baker: zangeres, danseres en actrice

Just want to say hi to all my new followers! Thanks for coming along for the ride. ?? . Here’s a little info about my art: all of my pieces are drawn by hand, not on a computer, and I make the designs up as I go along so none of them are planned beforehand. I use Micron pens for the outline and Sharpies and Copic markers for the colour. I choose images of strong women, mainly women of colour, to reflect my strong support of intersectional feminism. If you have any questions, just pop them in the comments. ??❤ . #art #artist #artwork #vixharrisart #artistprocess #artistoninstagram #josephinebaker #inspiration #intersectionalfeminism #strongwomen #inspirationalwomen #drawnbyhand #illustration #freehand #handdrawn #copic #sharpie #micron
