Crumb nude. There is a large selection in the large coffee table book that chronicles his life in art. Quite interesting in its own right to be sure.<br />The rest of the posted pieces are fantastic, as are all of the art posts here. If I want to learn, this is the place.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br /><br />PeaceSpadomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781369901345409341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-87811081136055161882009-12-14T00:29:10.498-05:002009-12-14T00:29:10.498-05:00Just once in my life I got to see an exhibition of...Just once in my life I got to see an exhibition of Dulac's paintings at a special show at the RISD Museum. I'd only ever had access to his prints before but the real ones blew me away and I practically had to be dragged out. I only wish my work was a tenth as good but I really appreciate your wonderful comparison.. and those of my other friends here who agreed. <br /><br />I loved seeing the Crumb. We got a copy of his rendition of The Book of Genesis as soon as it was released and it is wonderful. Good choice Spadoman.<br /><br />All of your entries this time were great and I love that you asked for suggestions.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-55913865451652828222009-12-13T19:30:02.661-05:002009-12-13T19:30:02.661-05:00CR: SG1 does have similar fine features like that...CR: SG1 does have similar fine features like that. I'm glad you enjoy the art. It's a form of therapy for me.<br /><br />MP: Yes, I did say photos were fine. I have no objection to your request. Whatever I said in the post was just jesting. It sure beats the pants off (pun intended) of a picture I saw once of a girl in camo underwear, holding a Thompson machine gun. It's not so much that I objected to it, as I don't really care about stuff like that. It was the expression on her face, like she was ready to take out an entire village.

"Te...Well, you did say photographs were okay.<br /><br />"Tennis Girl" never graced my wall, either. But it is an iconic image and, as it was the most purchased poster of the 1970s, a major example of "the peoples' art." As a student of folk traditions I respect the taste of "the man in the street." And, anyway, it has a lot more in common with the great works of Renaissance art than most contemporary art pieces. And it's more tasteful. Tennis Girl only shows us her butt.

However, neither tennis girl is my type, really. <br /><br />I'm not convinced that Picasso didn't like women, so much as he saw them in a very different way. Maybe experienced is a better word than "saw".<br /><br />I have nothing to go on there except perception. I know he was not a nice person. Otherwise I don't know that much about his life. That type of reading is what I'm looking forward to this summer.

I agree that the Dulac's are in the same vein as Susan's work, and that Susan's work could stand beside them. I love the Valloton, and the Bernard; those are probably my favorites in this set. The Crumb reminds me of Picasso, the way the lower half of Eve is proportioned. It seems right for the mother of the whole human race. In other ways, of course, it's quite different from Picasso - Crumb plainly LIKES women... And the tennis shots made me grin. They're both beautiful figures, but the first one seems more womanly to me. I think that's what I find off-putting about the current fashion in female models - they're too boyish for my taste.Steve Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628329561652344403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-49766385460824305762009-12-12T13:46:51.435-05:002009-12-12T13:46:51.435-05:00Dianne: I'll have you know that the Valloton ...Dianne: I'll have you know that the Valloton I posted for you is one of my personal favorites. :-) And it's not just cuz I am a D-cup. ;-)<br /><br />Ditto to the "wonderful", my friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-9406161386573247642009-12-12T13:23:43.143-05:002009-12-12T13:23:43.143-05:00I love "mine" !!!
