Van Gogh and I

Some more Marie Soleil drawings…

There are simply some studies of the old – very old! – theme of the artist and his model… and at least one has some more readable scribblings (I think, Susan…)

I write those mainly to make conterpoints (rappels) to other directions, lines, etc. But also to note my thoughts of the day (or of the moment). No big deal. Just graffitis…

There is also a story behind this drawings… The “artist” there is Andre, a long time collegue for the nude drawings sessions. I cannot say he’s a friend of mine (I make friends quite easily but, usually, I do not insist and have more like an ermit strike (drive?)… But I know all the same he’s quite sick and probably force himself to have the energy to come and draw… I certaily hope it does him good and that he will defeat sickness. There is no doubt a certain contrast between his sickness steaken face and body and the seal-like healthy sensual body of Marie Soleil, obviously not sick… But what can one do? That’s life. There is a time for health and fornication and there is a time for sickness and worst…
