The iconic female.
Here are 4 versions of the artist's response to the female figure. The first is a blockprint from a model I did a few years ago, the second a 1000 year old Aztec textile showing the birth and death cycle of female nature, below and to the left a recent John Chamberlain sculpture in foam and lastly a painting from a model I did last year.
All 4 represent a degree of cultural and personal bias and as such are open to interpretation and criticism both feminist and artistic. The DeCordova class on tuesday has a model next week and offers a unique opportunity to deal with your version of these issues. The model is 7 months pregnant. Newart Center classes had a model the week of Feb. 13. Take a moment and check the John Chamberlain retrospective, "Choices", that just opened at The Guggenheim Museum and runs through May 13. See you next week, john.
