Finally got off my lazy ass and did a little art. Continuing my series of little sketches of surrealist. I have a book on surrealism that has a lot of great old pictures of those wacky guys and have been filling up a little sketchbook with their portraits. I'm embarrassed to say how long it's been since I last added to the collection. I like some things about this drawing, but also have some problems with parts of it (hey, nothing's perfect). I mixed up the quality of line using fine, soft strokes for his face and heavy, looser lines for the jacket and background. Kinda like pulling focus. I know nothing about the artist, or in this case, filmmaker, Pierre Prévert, so I got some Googling to do.
OK HW
I love these guys. Pierre has the 'gaze.' I just looked back at Luis Bunuel (June 17 2010) and I want to see more. Are there any surrealist women worthy of your pen? XXOO
ReplyDeleteI can see that you're itching to get back into your art. Sounds like you're ready! Can't wait to see what you create...hopefully this weekend will inspire you a little. I'm willing to bet that, by the end of the weekend, I will have new nicknames or alter-egos associated with everyone in attendance. I know that will give me some substance to work with in my writing, at least...
