About the Item

Art-Deco-ish This graphite pencil drawing Darja Collin - 20-09-22 follows Art Deco Nude - 16-09-22. Still Deco-ish but I decided to grant her a series of her own. Years ago Hans, a student of mine, showed me her picture. It was an unbelievable photo of her in a smashing overstretched position, leaning back-wards. It was the incentive to do a first drawing that became Roundism - 10-09-14. It was followed by Sans Titre - 05-05-17 a couple years later. This one I rendered rather cubistic in order to have it match the Art Deco Nude series. Besides that, the previous two drawing of her I already did roun-distically. Incredible Life Story Darja never left my mind ever since and finally I got to read her life story. An incredible tale I must say. She was a ballet dancer and married to Jan Slauerhoff, if only for 5 tumultous years. Modern for her time she also was know to be the first celebrity with star airs. So there she is, an incredible woman of prickly character but also an eye-charmer, in and out of relationships. Then Europe found itself on the eve of World War II and she was on tour at the Côte d’Azur. She managed to escape through Africa to the Dutch East-Indies. She also escaped Japanese concentration camp by fleeing on a boat to Australia in 142 where she performed for the troops. A story to make a movie of, I think. Natural Phenomenon One of her lovers, poet A. Den Doolaard, described as an elusive natural phenomenon that can’t be grasped like water. Not for me though. I got hold of her resemblance quite easy. Maybe because I was motivated to capture her beauty and her star airs allowed me to do. On the reference picture there was an unattractive white negative space to the left. I decided to make that one dark too, forcing the viewer to focus only on her side view.

Nina – 09-08-23, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
A New Model This graphite pencil drawing ‘Nina – 09-08-23’ marks something new. Not the style though. That more or less is my newly found neo deco. It’s all about the model. About two weeks ago somebody on replied to my last oil ‘Neo Deco – 30-07-23’. That person happened to be a model under the name ‘NinaErotique’. You know by now I’m not into sleazy, unartistic nudes. I’m here on earth to celebrate nudity forged by higher beings as the pinnacle of beauty. Not my words but communis opinio amongst artists at the turn of the 20th century. Apparently she happens to think the same way. The result is a beautiful array of tasteful pictures. Some are nudes, other are about fashion and a bit of glamour on the side. I certainly would recommend you to click that link or visit her website. Clothed She has a lovely body and appearance. However, first I was touched by a photo of her sitting wearing a sheer negligee...
