"Thanks to art, instead of seeing a single world, our own, we see it multiply until we have before us as many worlds as there are original artists." Marcel Proust

Welcome to my art history blog. The format is simple and the purpose is to show you a piece of art, give you a little background, and leave the rest up to you. I make my own line of jewelry that can be found at www.youngestdaughter.com. Now I have added a vintage cookbook blog because I like the pictures more than anything else.

That is so beautiful....
The picture that is. Well, the story behind it is cool, but the picture is so moving....like ya could almost feel the hug.
I had the good fortune to grow up in Wilmington, and have been visiting the Pyles at the Delaware Art Museum for years. The museum is a treasure trove of Pyle works (including many of his wonderful pen and ink drawings) and is close to another remarkable museum, the Brandywine River Museum, which houses a beautiful collection of N.C. Wyeth's paintings. Both museums have great collections of American illustration.
I've been looking at watercolor seascapes recently. Something about the voluptousness of the figures and the water is just well... Deep Breath.
The sea foam surounds them, like the edge of a dress in a twirled dance, or like that of an illuminate star; Certainly, like their passionate embrace!
I scrolled down to this, and before I saw the name, I wondered whether it was Frazetta. Besides the high romance and the copious amounts of skin, the treatment of the muscular body, and the use of blue tones to represent flesh feel like Frazetta to me.
