Dancer Ilfat41 viewsThis spanish Dancing woman is turning and showing her upskirt. Probably discovering beautiful legs ! During the phase of multiple painting restauration I decided to put a black colour around several paintings
This colour was able to move to the border of the painting giving a better effect as I have also discussed in another painting. Therefore a new photograph has to be taken and displayed on the site.

Dancer I37 viewsThe original, painted in 1965 was not satisfactory and was repainted to increase the feeling of rotation during dance.
This new photograph also includes a black edge around the support of conglomarated wood increasing the presentation of the painting.
This painting was later copied and modified to give birth to the Oriental Dancer in 2006.
Stored in a psychiatric surgery in Paris. As there is (as usual) no signature on this painting, any new consultant entering the room returns the painting to look for the name of the painter !
I was said that it was non exception after three years of display !

37 viewsPortrait of a young girl with long black hairs. Here the calligraphy is made of fast stokes of a scalpel clearly visible on the left of the figure.
The figure is extracted from a bachground of green colour which is quite surprising for the description of skin
The support in laminated plaque of fibers covered by plastic.
This is not a new version but just the result of photography with a different lighting equipment
A philosophic statement can be made about the way the eye and brain works in the analysis of pieces of Art (to be discussed later).

38 viewsDetail of the head of the Girl seen in Barcelona on the
Ramblas des Cortes
Note the thick layer of paste forming the background of the painting, "Full paste" technique. The first drawing was made by moving the pencil inside this paste followed by drawing curves in the furrow so created
This was copied from the previous description but the Photography was different

45 viewsThis is the present stage (March 2007) of the time consuming BBB. The red calligraphic lines are barely visible. Gold reinforcements around the "gentleman" are also poorly reproduced by the photographic process.

Meditation97 viewsThis is one of the Californian paintings. This time the inspiration is the same as the FCP but the drawing was originally studied on a piece of paper
The red dot was necessary for the balance of the graph. This painting is not finished but I did not have enough time go to the next step which has been already put on the painting but not photographied.

Egypt Escape at Night78 viewsThis is the counerpart of the Egypt escape during the day time already on the Website
The drawing of Moses has been made without lokking at the original !
At the beginning this painting was too dark and was not appropriate for photography
There is an amusing story to explain why I got the idea for that painting. I will tell you that later...

Blessing84 viewsThis is one of the Californian series now finished. However, the photographic numeric process has added a slight pink color on most of the background which fits perfectly well with the painting. Therefore I will have to add physically this slight change on this painting. During my last visit in California in 05/08 I added some more work introducing a different blue color and an additional graph in the background. I am not sure if that was correct. I will discuss that later...

Portrait of Charles Beaudelaire8 viewsThis was a drawing from another drawing ?
or a photograph ?

Supplication19 viewsA young woman is imploring. She might have done something bad and she will be spanked for that. She is imploring to escape this painful experience...
I do not know the origin of this drawing. It is not from nature ! It should be a photograph or a previous drawing !

The Photograph30 viewsThis is the portrait of a poor old
artistic photograph of
the beginning of the previous century.

This painting has recently been repaired of a rupture of canvas by glued patch.

Femina Red40 viewsAnother photo of this nice girl on a red background which usually impressed women !
What do you think ?

37 viewsThe Egypt escape is here photographied in my garden in full sun
Many visitors asked for presentation of paintings in a living environement rather than hanging on a wall with a frame restricted to limit of the painting.

31 viewsFemina Green 64
This painting pertains again to the series of femina paintings...
It illustrates that the photography with or without flash mzay give a different result.
However, as for any of these paintings the presentation of the photography is far from the direct view of the original painting;
It is possible to visit the place where all of these paintings are displayed on a special request...

Aristocrat and Bird30 viewsThis painting is now presented in the Paris studio. Some visitors prefer to see the painting in there close environement than in the regular presentation of paintings in virtual galleries. This was the "before the last" painting of the first period.
I have discovered another painting on the back "Duckling getting out of its Egg" not yet photographied
|
|

Aristocrat and Bird34 viewsAristocrat and Bird This painting was very well preserved and no restauration was necessary. It is presented in the workshop for photography only. This is obviously a tribute to the painting style of Bernard Buffet. I like the very serious attitude of this old gentlman who is tight in his education, culture, dressing as opposed to the bird which can represent freedom !

52 viewsThis is the second Calligraphic Wire Sculpture in the shape of a bird. This is not the best photo. I think that another one is needed, taken from a different angle.
This sculpture is more elaborated, from a drawing, before to start assembling the wires.

AuversReal34 viewsThis is the actual view of the Eglise d'Auvers photographied in August 2008
The view is taken from the place where VG put his easel. However, if you compare with the painting you can deduce that he finished the painting at home because in the painting the lower part of the small building in the corner of the church is not on the same plane !

Artist and painting93 viewsThe candelabre and solar timer is presented on this image. Note the reflection of the Flash light. Therefore a better image is seen on another photo of this year. In that cases there is no reflection but the angle of the picture is far from perpendicularity which is the common way of presenting paintings in virtual galleries. This painting was displayed in my office in hospital Jean Rostand (Ivry) and now in La Salpêtrière (Paris).
