Another interesting point regards a few articles I came across that discuss figure modeling or life drawing models. I’d like to share some of them with you by way of the following links. The first one is most interesting to me, which is a New York Times article by Carol Kino written just this past week on the 2nd of October. I relate well to this particular article because I sincerely adore the photographer who spends much of his time photographing his wife. One of my initial inspirations was from a friend Malcolm Glass and his wife as I recall one image of his wife done in a spontaneous moment of unique opportunity for which they were able to take advantage of. This article is touching because, although it is referencing the exhibition of the late artist Harry Callahan, it is done from the perspective of his wife of 63 years, Eleanor, who is now 91 years old. The article is titled “The Artist’s Wife: A Constant Muse Who Never Said No“, again, by Carol Kino of the NY Times.

Other article of interest that may be appealing to you includes this one which I thought was funny. “My 11-year-old is drawing nudes? What do I do?” Its an advice column done by a reader who writes in to Dr. Gail Saltz for help with her son who is allowed to draw the female form by his artist dad. The mom is hoping Dr. Saltz will take her side on this. See who’s side she ends up supporting on this. I’d love to hear your comments as well. Do you agree with the Dr’s. advice? Now enjoy these recent abstracts.
