I went kind of wild gathering new photos of nudes and the photographer of that one escaped me. I'm glad the nudes warmed you up!<BR/><BR/>Linda: the young woman with me in the photo is actually my younger girl, SG2. Thank you. I don't like most photographs of me but that one is a very happy me (us) so I like it. You always bring such warmth with you when you comment. (hug)<BR/><BR/>Steve: the Man Ray is my favorite. Perhaps because if you look at it enough, you see different things in it. It's just such an original picture. I'm maybe less fond of his paintings but I sometimes change my mind about an artist when I really explore all of the work, seem some up-close and personal and become more acquainted with how the artist perceives his/her own work. Maybe a Man Ray Artist of the Week?<BR/><BR/> Kenju: very good! It does appear that the tree is holding the model in its ancient arms. <BR/><BR/>Bobbie: It is a gorgeous photograph. I have to look for others by Ritz.<BR/><BR/>Betmo: Thanks, Bet! I always look forward the comments for the Friday nudes, including yours! <BR/><BR/>Peace and love to all of you - among my favorite people on the blogs!

The ManRay makes me think. This is an interesting game to play. When I get so I'm walking away from my figure drawing sessions with drawings on my watercolor paper, then I'm going to have some fun...<BR/><BR/>And the Ritz - like Linda, I love the hair. And I think the artist was inspired to create this image by the way the root echoes the figure's pose.<BR/><BR/>I would love to have a chance to draw the model in the Koppitz - a dancer, I bet. That is a magnificent image - and even the bare ankles of the supporting figures, seen at the bottom of the photo, are important elements in the balance.<BR/><BR/>Pagan - thanks so much for sharing these! Now I've got to go look at your Sol LeWitt post!Steve Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628329561652344403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-72440570162761492002009-01-16T20:10:00.000-05:002009-01-16T20:10:00.000-05:00oh dear pagan, you have outdone yourself with thes...oh dear pagan, you have outdone yourself with these beauties! wow, they are all so beautiful but I think I like the last two the very best but not much!
