Reclining Nude with Red Ribbon by Robert Liberace
How did I come across this painting? Why was I googling images of Liberace? You have to admit he was a swell dresser and had great hair. We mere mortals can only hope to pull off a bedazzled sweater at Christmas and that man knew how to bedazzle a piano. Show some respect.
I found the artwork of Robert Liberace. He is a contemporary classicist and does a lot of figure drawing and portraits. I like the red ribbon. I like the attention to detail -- he painted the selvedge of the velvet drape. And, speaking from my extensive experience of one drawing class homework assignment, fabric drapes are really hard to do. And he got the plush and nap of the velvet. Oh, yeah, there is a nude in the painting as well.
