Speedy Graphito's work in this "Neo History" collection incorporates references to several classical artists and movements, reinterpreting them in a contemporary way.


Here’s what I could identify in this piece:


Joan Miró: His abstract shapes, black lines, and simplified patterns that resemble constellations reference the dreamlike and poetic universe of Miró.
Pieter Paul Rubens or Titian: The theme of The Toilet of Venus directly recalls classical Baroque works where Venus is often depicted in scenes of bathing or nudity, possibly referencing Rubens or Titian, both famous for their depictions of goddesses and mythological scenes. Here, the central figure seems to deconstruct this classical image.
Vasarely or the Op Art movement: The background with 3D geometric patterns and white cubes evokes Op Art, particularly Victor Vasarely, a pioneer in the field. This movement is distinguished by its visual illusions and sense of depth, used here to create a strong contrast with the other elements.
Roy Lichtenstein: The vibrant color palette and thick outlines of some motifs may evoke the aesthetics of Pop Art, especially the works of Roy Lichtenstein, who often referenced comic books and popular icons.
Baroque motif: The golden floral pattern in the background on the right may recall elements of Baroque art, possibly referencing artists like Jean-Honoré Fragonard or François Boucher, both known for their mythological scenes and decorative opulence.
