Aries constellation
1880 - 1946
Under a speckled, cosmic sky, a stylized profile of a ram-headed figure emerges from a cloud of white, gazing over a geometric landscape of zig-zags and strange, dandelion-like flora. The bold, graphic lines and the word 'ARIES' anchored at the bottom scream Art Deco, turning an ancient astrological symbol into a modern, almost architectural design. Henri van der Stok, a Dutch artist, captured the essence of the zodiac here with a striking contrast between the deep, starry void and the bright, carved forms below. It feels like a page torn from a mystical 1920s almanac, blending ancient mythology with the sleek aesthetics of the machine age.
