How to make people watch Shakespeare: Just put Emma Watson in everything

From the 2020 Pirelli Calendar by Paolo Roversi

Renowned fashion photographer Paolo Roversi took inspiration from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet for the 47th edition of the Pirelli Calendar. Historically, The Cal featured provocative images of women, but recently the brand has moved away from scantily-clad models to more artistic themes. Roversi chose Claire Foy, Mia Goth, Chris Lee, Indya Moore, Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, Rosalía, Yara Shahidi, and Stella Roversi to interpret the role of Juliet for the calendar.

Speaking of his work, the Italian lensman said: "The idea of Juliet came to me because I have been exploring the themes of beauty and love for several years. I have also investigated femininity and tenderness. Juliet is all of this. When I think of a feminine ideal, I think Juliet is one of the few characters who successfully embodies it in herself." Thank God there's not a single Romeo to be found. Anyway, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the 2020 Pirelli Calendar:

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

These grotesque porcelain sculptures might give you nightmares

Art doesn't just have to be colorful flowers, sunsets and unicorns – there is artistry in the grotesque as well. Jason Briggs , a Tennessee-based nightmare creator, makes surreal and fucked-up ceramic sculptures of the human body that exist on the boundary between horror and beauty.

Japanese artist En Iwamura creates adorable ceramic sculptures

Kyoto-born artist En Iwamura is showing his latest ceramic creations in a special show on August 31 at the Ross+Kramer Gallery in East Hampton, New York. En's sculpted objects, which he describes as three-dimensional clay doodling, exudes nothing but good vibes with their quirky, playful style. He consciously uses childhood influences such as manga and anime, and draws inspiration from both American and Japanese historical and pop-cultural references along with his own life experiences. Born in 1988, En completed both his BFA and MFA in craft from Kanazawa College of Art and Craft in 2011 and 2013, respectively. His works have been shown in New York City, Seattle, Kansas City, Durham, NC, Japan, Canada, China and more. Thanks for the tip, Rachel.
