Name That Artist, mk.2 |
Lead | |
|
There is an artist who does 19th century style portrait paintings of women, who are all wearing very little -- lingerie, bottoms -- or are nude. Their bodies are misshapen, to reflect dysmorphic self-perception. Who is it?

i think the painter you are asking about it John Currin, but i can't be sure. google him and see if thats the guy you're thinking of

You thug are you still going to be in Europe Zone on the 13th?
(Yeah, I thought maybe it was John Currin... but I thought it was -a woman who done it -less whimsical than his other work, i.e. super-depressing He was in the collection around when I saw it, so it makes sense. I hunger for taller trees.) |

Currin? | ||

We are so close, but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
It might be a period of John Currin's when he was more obsessed with weight. The whole artist's statement drill was that the girls were misshapen because this is how they perceived themselves. The portraiture was more disturbing than kitschy -- the girls looked horrifying. Nothing cheesecake about it. Thanx for all your help tho. I may never find out who it was. In other news: I may never understand girls' secrets. |

I'm dropping us a production level here, but food actively killing women (in Daniela Edburg's stuff) is better than the total downage I'm talking about.
