Chair
In the Cubist Style for the PG101 "Artsy" Theme
For this creation I started with a simple photo of an art deco chair taken in the Orsay Museum in Paris (original in discussion). After I did levels and basic adjustments on the chair, I used the marquee tool to select a rectangular area, copy, and paste, thus creating a separate layer with that portion of the picture. I put an edge and texture on the selection, and then transformed, rotated and positioned it. I repeated the process for each rectangle in the final work. Finally I merged the layers, did more levels work to the whole, and applied a texture layer (actually from a stucco wall) and multiply blend mode to the whole.
