"Have One On Me" comparison :

-Right location, Wrong decade-

As Joanna said in an interview, a model in a some parisian art studio around 1920 in Paris (France) is one of the inspirations for the HOOM cover photo. Here we are in the haert of the tiny articles of comparison. The parisian art stodio of Alphonse Mucha (late 1890's). The photgraphs of the parisian atelier seems a verry probable reference point for Have One On Me. It just look like Joanna and Annabel Mehran took her own pictures beind a screan at an other corner of the same space … more than 100 years ago! OK, still not the right time but the pictures speaks by themself.

And more over : The inspiration for the wedding dress of Joanna Newsom was (among other things) the Czech Art Nouveau period. Guess what : Alphonse Mucha, famous for his parisian career, was in fact Czech artist, master (if not the invintor) of the "Art Nouveau" mouvement. Are these co-incidences?

“She is at once nostalgic and modern. When we made the album photos I tried to create an environment that fit the character she is singing about on her record–a character that I think of as being decadent and self reflective. Some of the photos are very intimate feeling and others have a heavily stylized visual narrative–which to my mind is in keeping with the music.”
