The Body Beautiful...at PDX Art Museum

Talk about challenging......so here I am sitting among what is considered by all to be the epitome of beauty in art...and attempting to imitate that in a sketch! Or to at least sketch it to have the look of something recognizable. Does this seem reasonable? What was I thinking??

Anyway, here are my attempts. I eventually got to the point where it turned fun and the evening turned out pretty well overall.

A potpourri of images

The quintessential beautiful male body

I was intrigued by the simple line work of the Amphoras

I really liked this image of 'the body beautiful' from 2600-2400 BC ...I felt it put it all in place for the other works in the exhibit.

The information in the galleries was well presented but there was so much to take in.....it will need another session.
