Andrew Wyeth had a unique talent for capturing the quiet, majestic solitude of rural farm life. His watercolors and oils showcase his understanding of light, shadows, temperature and atmosphere placing the viewer immediately in the setting he painted. His eye never missed a single detail, subtle color shift or texture in the natural world that inspired him.
Supreme ambition, discipline, focus, drive and a childhood with alot of window shopping time with mom and Dad helped shape Vera Wang's appreciation for fashion and the fantasy for a glamorous life. Her job as a Vogue editor in the70's and a Design Director at Ralph Lauren in the 80's led her to create a Bridal Line after not finding a dress for her own wedding....and the rest is history.
From a wide eyed, baby faced brunette at 14 to a white hot, foxy, white haired grand dame, Carmen is a one of a kind modeling legend. With her hyper stylized proportions, wonderfully sculpted bone structure,grace and mastery of the art of posing, she's as close to looking like a classic fashion sketch as a human being can get. But the stark contrast of her practical, down to earth and disciplined nature to the fantasy of the Haute Glamour she is most famous for projecting is fascinating....and charming.
The exquisitely passionate sculptures of Mexican Artist Javier Marin celebrates the romantic, dramatic,earthy, sensuous physicality of the human form.
His magical hands turns mere clay ( and wax and bronze) into monumental, mesmerizing, voluptuous flesh.
I met him at a reception for his work in Monterrey Mexico and have been a ( gushing!) fan ever since.
