Portraits, portraits! Images of identities :)
When someone said to Picasso, about his portrait of Gertrude Stein, that she does not look like it, "That does not make any difference", he answered, "She will". ;)
Picasso probably never said that, but it's not important. I'm just thinking about portraits and images, in the age of communication. I drew a little digital portrait of Steevc, some days ago, and I looked back at all the portraits I did in the last years. I'm also working on a project I will do in november, consisting of an installation maken by hundreds of little portraits of people I know.
Faces and portraits are somehow becoming central in my art, it seems.
Here are some portraits and a selfportrait I did some years ago:
Portrait of Hugo Pratt, pencil on paper.
Portrait of Robert Musil, pencil on paper.
Portrait of Elias Canetti charcoal and chalk on paper.
Self-portrait in a book, tempera on cardboard, cm 60x80, 2013.
This is some amazing work!
thx! :)
Good post!
Wow, nice portraits. I like that you used a book on cardboard for your self portrait.
thx! :=)
