About the Item

Love for Sheer Textures This graphite pencil drawing ‘Sheer Deco Nude – 14-10-22’ is a deepening of my love for texture of fabrics. My Last drawing of Louise Brooks also bears witness to that and the one before that as well. Surely my satin fetishes already showed but now it was time to experiment with sheer fabrics on the female form. Some time ago I saw Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet. In a particular scene at Mr Darcy’s house she is gazing at a statue with a veiled face. I found that simply fascinating. Very classic, a bit corny perhaps but I don’t mind. I already explained I am not living in the era I should have been. I certainly will not burn my art works either like Damien Hirst, that’s for sure. Instead I gladly refer to art works of eras gone by. Deco or Not? Unfortunately I don’t know the origin of the reference picture so I cannot give someone credits. It must have been in the 1920s since I was searching for art deco photography. Not at all certain deco I must confess but my added cubist styling could be though. In my art statement to ‘Art Deco Nude – 02-10-22’ I give the generally accepted definition of the style. I state it once more: “Geometric styling of naturalistic forms with a degree of abstraction and streamlining. As a natural consequence it flows from bringing them back to the essence geometricallyâ€

Art Deco Nude – 06-08-22, Drawing, Pencil/Colored Pencil on Paper
By Corne Akkers
Located in Yardley, PA
A Second One This graphite pencil drawing ‘Art Deco Nude – 06-08-22’ follows one day after the first, done with my new pencils. In fact, immediately after the completion of the first one I started the second in my studio at Brugman Art. However, finished a day later but within an hour in total. Surely this shows my enthusiasm. The Pitt Graphite Matt pencils and the Ingres paper to me are a perfect match. You have to know that I like to search for new ways to quickly put my ideas on paper. Charcoal simply is too stainy, even though it is quick and easy to correct. Pastel is also quick but falls off the Ingres paper quite easy without fixation. They are not very handy to carry around in my backpack as well. Pencils I easily can carry with my in my handy Derwent pencil folder. Deco Again This Deco title is a bit of a laugh really. Art Deco is a pre World War II art...
