2018 Beautiful Bizarre Magazine Art Prize Before I announce the winners of the Inaugural Beautiful Bizarre Magazine Art Prize I would like to to take a moment to thank all of the artists who entered, sharing their work and their artistic passion with us.

Once again, you, dear entrants, have made judging the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize an incredibly difficult task! We have received many excellent entries from countries all over the world and our Jury Panel have the huge task ahead to pick the winners. Last year, we felt that there were SO many spectacular entries, we expanded from 25 Finalists in this category to 35. This year, we are expanding this again to 50 Finalists within the Traditional Art category! This year has seen a significant increase in the cost of living within many countries around the world, the continuing COVID pandemic, the beginning of Monkey Pox, the war in Ukraine, climate emergencies, and political unrest in the USA and other countries – so, you can imagine that it has been tough for artists to find the
“St. Cecily (Cecilia)” Ezio Anichini Ezio Anichini is one of our all-time favorite artists. Working mainly in the Art Nouveau style (or Stile Liberty) of the early 20th Century, he was the master of dreamy religious portraits. Famous for his Litany of Loreto, less known are his extensive magazine covers he did for arts magazines in Italy, where he was often able to incorporate his Catholic faith into his assignments and promote Catholicism from the newsstands. In this one from 1907, Arts and Labor: Music and Musicians Illustrated Monthly Magazine, he has painted the primary Catholic Saint of music, St. Cecelia, and placed her in the hands of her angel, who is her muse, bringing her Heavenly inspiration. Muse, music, right? The word music (musica in Italian) comes from the Greek word mousike, which means "art of the Muses." There is something timeless and beautiful in Anichini's work, something we always find fresh and enjoyable. ** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border all around the image of about .5" for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11, 1.6" for 11x14, and 1.75" for 13x17". All Approx! The white space gives the framed picture a finished look without using a mat. *POSTER SIZES ARE PRINTED WITH SMALL BORDER* This is to preserve the dimensions of the original artwork. – Acid-free paper – Archival pigments, rated to last for generations. – Cardboard backer – Above story of the art – Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.
