# Anachronistic Artwork Joanna Kustra's ‘Paintings' Photo Series By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2009-05-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joanna-kustra-paintings References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/p-a-i-n-t-i-n-g-s/215913) Joanna Kustra's 'Paintings' photo series sends you back in time to the French Revolution era of dramatic portraiture, infusing it along the way with a heavy dose of the [punk-influenced present](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms). Each model photographed for Joanna Kustra's 'Paintings' series retains the pose, elegance and decadence associated with [centuries-old grandeur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix), but there's no denying that these models belong to the modern era. **Implications** - Joanna Kustra’s ‘Paintings’ Photo Series certainly does evoke a [nostalgic feeling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii) in the viewer. I am captivated by how the series can transport back to a completely different time.
