Description
1st Place: Contest::::: YOUR BEST BLUE COLOR DRAWING. Thank you Admin, and Thank you supporters, for this Win. I am thrilled, :)))))))))), VIVA 27/07/23
Pentimenti, ,by VIVA Anderson,charcoal nude drawing, is my Dedication and homage to the sensuous male form; fluid elegant drawing of the figure, celebrating pentimenti - the very 'finding' of the form, including lovely linear line . Celebrating the deep connection between model and artist - the "knowing".
Copyright Sir Kenneth Clarke: "....Sexuality is part of the attraction to the nude as a subject of art, stating "no nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even though it be only the faintest shadow,and if it does not do so it is bad art and false morals."
A Treasured Comment from my archives..........thank you, Omar Hafidi.
"There is so much depth and infinity in these elegant lines....epitomes of the the unbearable nothingness one feels as a prelude to a spiritual awakening, an windy- like everywhere/nowhere dichotomy, suggestive of a persistent and overwhelming presence of both hollowness and convexity, parsimony and dissipation....they potentiate a mature, intellectual activity, which brilliantly explores the dynamic boundaries between the limitless and the confined, the apprehended and the emancipated....a dimentional saga of freedom versus tyranny so masterfully intertwined ...so lyrically presented ......in the calmness and sanity of Blue...."

Jolanta, Thank You so very much. I'm so honoured by your deep&meaningful response. To elaborate, as per my description::Firstly to cite the quote published, from Sir Kenneth Clarke, which is what came to mind AFTER I did the drawing: an 'affirmation' for me, that I felt explains better than I could. And then, Omar's response, quoted: the 'affirmation' an artist sorely needs. He saw ''the limitless and the nothingness, ...read on, dear Jolanta. All about the calmess and sanity of BLUE.........as per your thoughtful response, too ! The whole experience for me, a novice artiste, then, was a revelation, of Art's powers,; my own depths/self revealed through Art. And the models: it was magic!! 'without morality' issues!!! ......Hope thatt helps your intuitive feelings for this/these insights, truths, for me, too. All the quotes came to me thorugh research, and luck: MY fulfillent affirmed..YEA !! xoxoxoVIVAxoxox....deepest gratitude, dearest, for your 'knowing' (I call it),xoVIVA
