Aries : 20th-century modern art

Salvador Dalí, Aries, Lithograph 1967, private collection © Maison de vente Rennes Enchères

Like the Aries, the artists of the 20th century were not afraid to disrupt the established order of artistic creation! With energy, sometimes with violence, they made the brightest colors pop. They broke the world into facets and added a touch of madness to their time. Just like you, Matisse, Picasso or Mondrian followed their instincts and did what had never been done before. Aries, it’s now your turn to walk in the steps of modern art’s pioneers!

Dear Taurus, you have many things in common with the Andean region’s cultures! You are pragmatic and down to earth. You will surely be impressed by the stability and majesty of the Aztec pyramids, whose solidity has resisted earthquakes and centuries. Your sensitivity to nature and ecology makes you particularly apt to grasp the beliefs and creations of the Inca civilizations, which were very much influenced by their environment. And for those of you who love luxury, get ready for loads of gold!
