About This Work
A Rather Extreme Pose This graphite pencil drawing ‘Neo Deco - 04-08-25’ is a special one. A rather extreme pose or should I say an extreme picture? That was the reason I was attracted to Emmanuel Sougez’s pho-tograph. What a wonderful artist he is! Taken of a pose Assia Granatouroff struck in front of his camera in the 1930s I believe. He decided to have her leg almost touch the right side of the lens. Her head is tucked into the upper left corner. Basically, the whole lower left side con-sisted only of folds in bed sheets. I simply adore these unusual poses. Nothing more irritating than drawing or painting normal and lush ones. So many other artists already are proficient enough in depicting trifles. Not for me, I want to show more than only unnecessary beauty or aesthetics. Searching for Value to Add This having said, I did strive for adding plenty of value to the mix. First, I thought the picture was a bit too dark. My last drawing met my expectations as to opening up forms. Consequently, I had the same intention have open up for this one too. Keep it fluffy and abstain from darkening forms too much. Risk unwanted enclosures. Besides that, I wanted to create a more abstracted Assia variety. Something that would force people to look better without loosing the resemblance too much of course. Eventually I found a suitable combination of some interesting straight linear structures and curves. Long have I pondered over the bed sheet folds. Should I incorporate them or just leave them be? It became the latter because I didn’t think they were an asset to the collective. Therefor, the emphasis solely is on the cubism that brings the body in view.
