    A Metallurgical Approach to Bettie Page – 12-03-17

     

    Bettie Page was an American pin-up of the 1950s that stood for her sexual liberation in an America that yet had to face the sexual revolution of the 1960s. I always have loved her curves and her entire body true art. Therefor I drew and painted her many times already. I did this one in my own roundism style and portrayed myself in a metal ball as well. I counterbalanced the diagonal of the body with a conical curve directed to the upper right of this graphite pencil drawing.

    Bettie Page - 24-02-17

     

    Another drawing by me of Bettie Page returning to surrealism again. After scrutinizing her features and estimating what her character would have been like I came to the inescapable conclusion that eggs, rabbits, dogs and snakes cannot be dissociated with her so I immediately put myself to work.

    Bettie Page - 28-08-17

     

    Returning to Bettie Page once in a while because her body was so slender and enables me to exploit my style of roundism to the max. In this drawing I tried to keep the forms open as much as possible while the extended lines beyond the forms create new forms, even animals!
