For reasons that are probably unworthy, I get an additional layer of enjoyment from an artist's nude treatment of their spouse. Kley's depiction of himself at home with his nude wife, or Archibald Motley's portraits of his wife-- first chastely dressed in hat, dress and furs of the era, then stripped of everything-- seem to be letting us in on a special secret.<br /><br />Frances Rowell-- I wasn't familiar with Cacho. Thanks for writing.<br /><br />Gianmaria Caschetto-- Hah, yes Crumb is not at all shy about his preferences. Serpieri as well, although Crumb puts more of his genetic makeup into his drawings than Serpieri does. <br /><br />As we talk about these examples, it occurs to me that it is easy to come up with a list of male artists who distort images that way, but I'm having trouble coming up with female artists who do the same. Can anyone suggest a few?David Apatoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293486149879229016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-11946649277065079532018-10-04T07:30:09.601-04:002018-10-04T07:30:09.601-04:00I'm fascinated by Robert Crumb's ladies, o...I'm fascinated by Robert Crumb's ladies, often portrayed with meaty, robust lower limbs. If I'm not mistaken, Crumb admitted his predilection for women with such legs.<br />Another cartoonist, italian Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri, who drew his character of Druuna as a prosperous, plumpy brunette, stated he doesn't even look at skinny models.<br />I have personally have other preferences, but isn't this part of the enjoyment in looking figurative art? Seeing the subject through the artist's unique perspective and state of mind and connecting to his or her taste, preferences or idiosyncrasies?

Do you know Gabino Amaya Cacho? He is a great painter from Spain, he is one of those who has inspired me to devote myself to art, to oil painting. If anyone knows tricks to improve the technique would be grateful to be informed.<br />Frances Rowellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-51971631369245268362018-10-03T06:55:18.097-04:002018-10-03T06:55:18.097-04:00I have always thought a lot of Frank Bellamy's...I have always thought a lot of Frank Bellamy's women are based on the model he had available at home - <a href="https://frankbellamy.blogspot.com/2016/06/news-frank-bellamy-kettering-exhibition.html" rel="nofollow">his wife Nancy</a> even down to the shape of her breasts!Norman Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15786362698394605291noreply@blogger.com
