“Wanna Get Nuked?” (核、喰らいたいか?)
As you know, most of us living in the Far East have been threatened with a nuclear strike, especially over the last few weeks. Of course, I know the probability of a missile-and-bomber war actually happening is still small, yet … Continue reading

“Argument I” (「口論 I」)
Below, on April 6, I showed a work-in-progress in a new direction with oil pastel, — to take advantage of the medium’s clumsiness and coarseness. Oil pastel is an effective medium when you depict some ugly, coarse sides of us, humans, or … Continue reading

絵画を視ることのビギナーの皆様へ
この記事は、下のポーズ 6のような絵をご覧になって、「なんだ、こりゃ??」と仰る方々向けのものです。 少なくてもここ、東京で展覧会などやると、今もそういった方々がいらっしゃるからですね。 4月9日、また人体クロッキー(速写画)会に行ってきました。いつもどおり、20分ずつ6ポーズです。 その6ポーズのうちの3つを、ここに示します。いずれも20分クロッキーなので、極めてラフです。 2 –> 5 –> 6 という順序で作業を進めたことに、ご注意ください。つまり、「イージー ルッキング」から始めて、ポーズ6へと進んでいったわけですね。 なぜか?その日のモデルさんは、痩せた身体で、でも素敵な若い女性でした。で、どこか鋭い張りつめた雰囲気を醸し出してらっしゃったので、その雰囲気を描きたかったのです。単に身体の曲線など描くと、たいていの若い女性の身体には、「よくある」ものになってしまいます。 ポーズ2 の時点では、まだモデルさんの雰囲気を「読んで」いましたので、単純に身体を描いていました。雰囲気を読むにしたがって、より鋭い線に移行していったわけです。 この記事が、ある種の絵画を視るうえでの手助けになれば、幸いでございます。

Why are nude models mostly young females?? / ヌードのモデルさんの大半が若い女性なのは、どうして?
