For two years, we've been supporting the Assonance Choir<\/a> in its communication. From creating the visual identity<\/a>\u00a0to designing the concert posters<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Here is our latest poster work\u00a0for\u00a0Dvo\u0159\u00e1k<\/a>'s Stabat Mater<\/a>. Usually we\u00a0use classic painting pictures, but this time a sculpture\u00a0caught our attention. This is a study of the \"Piet\u00e0<\/a>\" by Michelangelo (1499).<\/span><\/p>\n What strikes us the most\u00a0about this work is\u00a0the unusually young age of the Virgin. Unlike other Piet\u00e0, Michelangelo gives more importance to the beauty of the Virgin than to her pain. This mix between\u00a0pagan beauty and religion is\u00a0frequently found in\u00a0Michelangelo's work. This is why this work seemed particularly relevant with the subject of the Stabat Mater, a work evoking the suffering of Mary at the crucifixion of her son.<\/span><\/p>\n To make the subject more contemporary, we chose a\u00a0duotone\u00a0treatment, royal blue\u00a0associated with canary\u00a0yellow.<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u00a0are the other proposals we'd\u00a0made. In this other direction, we based our study on an historical anecdote. Indeed, this musical score came to Dvo\u0159\u00e1k while he was mourning his daughter. Following this tragic event, the Czech composer plunged into the composition of his only religious work.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Other directions<\/h2>\n
\n<\/span>We worked with the \"Descent from the Cross\" by Bronzino<\/a> (1545), a paint showcased\u00a0at the Museum of Fine Arts in Besan\u00e7on. Here, a vivid colors\u00a0contrast\u00a0strengthens the composition's\u00a0tension.
