# Neoclassicism carries the structure. Stripped Classicism appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Neoclassicism (Style, 1760s–1830s) and its accent from Stripped Classicism (Style, 1920s–1950s). Structural cues: Hard, clear contour lines; A restrained number of colors; Ancient subjects and dress; Shallow, stage like space. Accent cues, used sparingly: The rhythm of columns stripped of ornament; A strong axis and symmetry; Smooth planes of stone; Walls without large openings. Composition: Let the horizontal work hard and place elements symmetrically.. Type and lettering: Inscriptional capitals, letterspaced wide.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Large ashlar limestone or granite, honed flat, with joints fine enough that the wall reads as one continuous surface.. Mood: Trust, Luxury, Calm. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 160 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Neoclassicism: Do not mistake simplicity for dullness. Hard contour and tense composition are both required at once.
# - Stripped Classicism: Reaching for it because it looks austere and expensive: the symmetry and the blank wall make a claim of authority whether or not you intended one.
