About the Item

Return to Stardom This grapite pencil drawing ‘Sans Titre – 27-07-023’ is a return to stardom once more. Veronica Lake was the last one in the series. Lulus I consider a series and world in her own right. Of course a star as well. Audrey however I drew only once, almost a decade ago. In fact, it’s one of those drawing I started my new cubism revolution with. Wouldn’t you agree it was about time I’d do another portrait of her? You know, my cubist style has evolved throughout the years. See what my roundism style could do this time. Forms and Ideas Somehow I keep returning to this almost hazy vision of keeping things fluffy and airy lately. I think I succeeded doing (or keeping) that in my drawing of Veronika. Surely I have described this feeling a couple of times before. It’s a quality I always have honored Cézanne for. I sum it up concisely for those who haven’t read previous art statement on the topic. Transparency and forms unfinished I consider a kind of start of an open discussion with spectators. They have to complete them in their minds. My theory entails a more comprehensive definition of what reality is, something more meaningful perhaps. Things with names attached are nothing more than forms. By half completing them this will trigger more imagination because that is what reality basically is. Airy and Openess Consequently it’s birth of kind of überrealism, way beyond the extent of photorealism. By showing less there’s more imagination and thus more than meets the eye. As to the depiction itself initially I didn’t know what to do with the turtleneck she’s wearing. I was afraid of hatching the attire to a complete blackness and also doing that with the hair. That only would make both structures to appear lumpy. Hence I kept forms open and made all forms only partially dark. In order to have her communicate with the white negative space I kept forms open. The result is you have the feel of travelling through her, finding entries and exits throught the whole paper. My Fair Lady Personally I hope the swirly and straight forms secretly say something essential about My Fair Lady. By the way, did you know she’s actually is half-dutch? As a fellow countryman I’m proud of that. I have watched a couples of interviews with her and she speaks our language perfectly. Her accent sounds old-fashioned though. Just like people sounded in the 1950s or how our former Queen Beatrix still speaks. Looking at her pictures she seems so young though. As if those pictures have been taken only yesterday. It proves that all things pass by so quickly. Only paintings and drawings last a little bit longer, remnants of ages gone by. So Audrey lives on a bit longer but now you watchers are creating her.

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...

Untitled
By Edmund Daniel Kinzinger
Located in Dallas, TX
Edmund D. Kinzinger was born in 1888, in Pforzhein, Germany. In Munich he studied at the Kirr Schule and the Staatliche Akademie, and pursued graduate studies at the Academie Modern, Paris. Before serving in the German Army, Kinzinger was a master student of Adolph Holzel at the Staatcliche Akademie, Stuttgart; he returned to study under Henrich Waldschmidt after nearly five years of artillery service. Several of Kinzinger’s fellow students in Germany, such as Johannes Itten, would go on to be associated with the Bauhaus school. Coming into contact with all manner of artistic influences in Europe after World War One, Kinzinger’s work may be viewed as a “synthesis” of modernist styles. The influences of Abstract Expressionist, Cubist, and Futurist styles in Kinzinger’s work at this time are symptomatic of his contact with the likes of Hans Hofmann, Pablo Picasso, and Alexander Archipenko. About this period of Kinzinger's work, Philip Van Keuren...
