Hi Guys!
Andrew the Bee here with a picture from my artist buddy,
Cliff! He's been tryin' to get Wendy to
pose for him, so he whipped up this
thing to show how much
talent he's got!

| La Grande Bla-Bla, by Cliff! |
Turns out Cliff just
copied it from this French Guy,
J. A. D. Ingres, who lived so long ago that his stuff is now
public domain! Here's the
picture that Cliff was looking at:

| La Grande Odalisque, by Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres, Paris, Louvre |

The funny thing about
Ingres is that he didn't care about drawing people
right! That's why Cliff likes him so much -- He's a great
inspiration for guys who don't know
anatomy! 'Course Ingres
sure as heck knew how to
draw -- He was just
fudging things to make his people look
good!
Cliff's an alright guy, but he ain't much of an
artist. I sure hope Wendy tells him
to take a hike!

Canova was originally commissioned to depict Pauline fully clothed as the chaste goddess Diana, however Pauline insisted on posing as nude as Venus. When asked whether she was not uncomfortable being naked before the artist, Pauline replied, “Ah, but there was a fire in the room.”
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Pauline is Cliff's kind of girl, for sure. Too bad he doesn't have Canova's talent!
