Years ago I was introduced to of paintings of Amedeo Modigliani. At first I thought that the elongation was odd, but I'm very fond of his pieces now.Somewhere there even is a painting of me in the same style.
I notice that this girl, whom he, Amedeo, painted frequently, and"The Head" and look very similar. I wonder why I am so drawn to this look?
Before I could even read, and I had a hard time going to sleep, my dad would give me picture books, to help me settle down. It was a choice of The Red Book, or The Blue Book. Old masters, or the Renaissance painters.
Oh, how I loved "Venus Emerging from the Sea". Botticelli's maidens all seem to have curly hair, and were all blond, to my mind.
Those are my musings about paintings today.
