TD's! Seicento Nudies!


I like how in the above Titian, which is in the middle of an Eakins/Philly sort of predicament, there appears this slim red curtain that is somehow supposed to be blocking your gaze onto Diana and her bathing Nymphs. And still Acteon feels as though he needs to pull it back and announce himself. The curtain is hanging in such a way that it isn't even an impediment to Acteon's line of sight! Every teenage boy knows better. You need to conceal yourself, lest you be turned into a stag and devoured by your hounds.

And in other Figure related news...is Julie Taymor making Eric Fischl's new sculptures, or what?
