Sewellisms # 19: Bronzed Bodies

‘nude women bathed, nude boys drew swords from scabbards, and nude Nubians stood guard. The small bronze was, it seems, a genre of art in which the nude, male and female, could abandon modesty and its futile wisps of drapery and stand full frontal at eye-level on the mantelpiece.’

‘it is at its best with nude male figures, either singly or performing some ghastly ritual of death or torment on some other male.’

  • Brian Sewell, ‘Beautiful Bronzes from Ancient Rome’, Evening Standard, 27 May 2010, <http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/arts/review-23839088-beautiful-bronzes-from-ancient-rome.do>

AW:  Sewell really brings to life the beauty of boys bronzes.

Life drawling class

Adult Drawing
A Zoppa Brothers Production

Recorded April 18th, 2009

The Zoppa Brothers’ Adult Drawing event features a collection of eclectic and exotic models posing for artists in a hip setting with excellent house music. This is not your grandmother’s Art Student’s League sketch class! Featuring the Girls of Burning Angel & Special Guests!

AW: Guys, seriously! Its hard enough as it is to look studious in an art drawing class. Sexing it up just makes it harder. You may as well just take a sketch pad to a lap dancing club. Just remember, the only thing you are allowed to stroke is your beard.
