cmsa; unpacking and came across these from a family trip in 2010. Left the family playing ping pong in luxemburg park and spent the day drawing marble in the musee d'orsay. Three things made a lasting impression; 1. How the feminine ideal changes as seen through the eyes of the men who adored their form through the years, from the straight forward, strong ,highly structured functionality of the green drawings figure, to the sprightly, delicate , "feminine" figure in the purple drawing. Sort of polar opposites, i liked that. 2. How the heck did they get marble to look so much like warm soft living flesh, that i could easily talk myself into believing that i caught a few of the marbles breathing out of the corner of my eye? 3. Maybe i'm just overthinking it, i was amused at the time to think if someone had to name this collection the name would have to be "Female Butts Through the Ages, and the Men Who Adored Them"
