BOOMBAYAH Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The Hellenic themes (notably the references to Aphrodite ), the mixing of contemporary and classical art, the futuristic/technological themes mixed in with traditional culture…the concepts and image direction where amazing. I know the era as a whole was messy, but it really makes me appreciate when concepts where really pushed and intelligent in music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunbathinganimal Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Yeah the art direction was amazing, if only the music lived up to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miichael Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Artpop’s art direction was the definition of kitchen sink and maximalism at any cost, with a million different things all happening at once and in different ways, but I think the messiness and chaos was part of its charm and what made it such a fun era at the time.

Pop Art Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 100% agree, that era was SO ambitious and for that alone it will always be one of my all time favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlERRE Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I agree It was a mix of everything, everywhere, all at once. (Michelle Yeah promo ). But also, some of the imagery were so simple yet so effective, the announcement photo with the white glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeymoonshine Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I have to agree with the consensus that it was a chaotic mess. I really liked a lot of it but then there was stuff that I didn't like so much. I think the media would have turned on her regardless because it was just her time to be turned on but it didn't help that the era was such a mess. The album is a mixed bag too. I guess it was memorable and idk it did pretty well for a flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmo Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The fashion for ARTPOP was just breathtaking once you look at as it was, a clash, just like the album cover. Because the cover is a clash or hybrid of ideas as well.... The amazing LIddo La Maison Gaga did an article about this era and I love to read all the little details behind some of the pieces. Plus a little fun fact: It took HOURS to iron this piece before the shoot to make it look perfect because it is made out of paper. The oversized white mask is from Isabell Yalda Hellysaz’ Fall/Winter 2012 collection The series explores the interplay between women and their love-hate relationship with the stiletto heel: “As an expression of appreciation, I offer my gratitude to all women who endure the torture of wearing such heels. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed”. There are no shortcuts in Omar’s fine woodworking, the sinuous curves and waves found in his work are hand carved using an untouched block of wood, metal grinder and meticulous hand sanding. read MORE here https://lamaisongaga.com/post/167734967782/fashion-credits-lady-gaga-by-inez-vinoodh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetTalker Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 It really was amazing and it aged like fine wine. i’ve always thought MOTOMAMI’s amazing direction was in a way inspired by Artpop and it’s artistic messiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
