Nein............davon heute nichts. Aus verschiedenen Gründen. Keine Zeit für einen Scherenschnitt zum Beispiel. Und keinen Mut, das Selbstportrait zu veröffentlichen, welches ich tatsächlich gemacht habe (und sehr mag, da es nichts Unanständiges darauf zu sehen gibt). Ich habe mich dennoch gefragt, ob ich es der Welt zeigen sollte. Seltsam, wenn man bedenkt, dass ich neulich erst in Unterwäsche auf einer Bühne gestanden habe...! Ich denke aber, es war nicht nur die Nacktheit selbst, die mich zu der Entscheidung gebracht hat, das Bild nicht zu zeigen. Es ist die erotische Ausstrahlung des Fotos, die überraschenderweise entstanden ist, ohne viel vom Körper zu zeigen. Das war mir dann doch zu privat.
Vielleicht.....gibt es sehr große Unterschiede, Nacktheit zu zeigen. Es kann hochgradig erotisch sein, hochgradig provokativ und verstörend, oder auch vollkommen neutral, ohne jede erotische Note.
ein paar Bleistiftzeichnungen, die ich über die Jahre gemacht habe:
- Skizze der Meerjungfrau von Kopenhagen
- Skizze eines Magazinfotos
- Skizze an einem Nacktbadestrand in Südfrankreich
Danke, Patrice, für diese Aufgabe!
Yes.............I had several things in mind on that topic. A papercut of course. And a self-portrait.
No..............none of those today. For several reasons. Lack of time for cutting for instance. And lack of courage to publish a nude self-portrait, which I actually made (and totally love, as there is really nothing titillating to be seen). But I kept wondering, if I should spread it to the world. Curious, considering the fact that I recently went on stage in underwear...! I think it's not only my nudity itself that made me decide not to show the picture. It's the erotic charisma of the photo that surprisingly came out without showing much of the body. I felt it was too private.
Maybe.........there is a lot of difference in showing nudity. It can be highly erotic, highly provocative and disturbing, or totally neutral, with no erotic connotations at all.
some pencil sketches I made over the years:
- sketch of the mermaid of Kopenhagen
- sketch of a magazine picture
- sketch at a nude beach in the South of France
Thank you, Patrice, for this challenge!
lol....I too at first did a self-portrait that although blurry & showing nothing & in spite of the fact that it turned out quite nice I was not able to use it just thinking of what friends & family might think....haha...nice drawings though ....like mine some old & some new...

AntwortenLöschendoes it make any difference if i told you that

i totally understand what you say about nudity and the www
there is a lot of difference, like you say

and your drawings bring me back in time
back to the artschool-lessons i liked so much
thank you!
love

i find you have little inhibition in showing yourself in a piquante way, and i agree with you there are limits. if you sense you have reached a limit, then what better way than to keep us guessing? it is beauty in absence. n♥
AntwortenLöschenIt's been so interesting to see everyones take on Patrice's theme this week!
AntwortenLöschenI love the soft pencil sketches - like Nadine, they remind me of art school too :)
Tania, yes, there are so many ways to look and the nude body. Every eye sees differently. I decided not to put my self portrait up either. Instead it's a painting of someone nothing like myself...... well except for the pinky red skin if I had too much sun! Have a great week. xo Carole
AntwortenLöschenNice sketches.They also reminds me of the art school drawing lessons. I think it's good to keep your limits. Don't show what's too private.
AntwortenLöschenI like the shy nature of the pencil line in these sketches of yours Tania, which seems to add so much to the text of this post. I find the beach scene especially charming, with that stripy umbrella. Makes me think of beaches in the south of France (where I have never been but have imagined)!

Ah the inner censor has spoken for you today- it is really a big part of the theme this weekend right?! what an image says between the lines- what is nude and how does it make the viewer feel- we all have a different perspectives- I love the sensitivity of your sketches- they are really beautiful- and perhaps that is how you wanted to be seen today :)
AntwortenLöschenlovely sketches
AntwortenLöschenperhaps
sharing your feelings about your self portrait is a form of being naked
i think so
I understand your thoughts so well! I thought of that too. For many years I made video-works in which I played myself. I did not mind that at all. They were showed at video festivals and so on but it is something different to show it on the web…it just stays there forever. So are pictures. I totally loved those pictures of you in the burlesque style, you looked great and I can imagine that this new picture is just as great with some erotic to go with it, which is fine. But I can unstained your doubt. ( how I wish to see it, haha) I like your drawings as well, especially the last one, where so of the nudity is hidden.
AntwortenLöschenHow much power the human body has hey? We walk around in our skins (usually covered) and perhaps (as in my case) don't think much about ourself at all, until it comes time to look in the mirror and that is a whole other story/post/therapy session, and some of us are completely aware and emotionally charged about our bodies, and there is a whole gamut in between those. The amount of money made on the human body is mind-blowing and I think the number one money-maker on line are porno. sites for example. Yes, this nude idea is a powerful one. The body, or idea of the body (exposed) gets the mind (emotions) going that is for sure. I like your sketches a lot. Especially at the beach in France. They remind me of something Monet might sketch. *smiles* Norma, x
AntwortenLöschenI completely understand where you're coming from Tania. Sometimes when I think I've done something erotic and sensual and present it, and it's seen as crude. Hard to take the chance sometimes. :)
AntwortenLöschenLiebe Tania, ich kann deine Bedenken sehr gut verstanden und denke, du hast gut daran getan, dein Foto nicht zu zeigen. Man weiß nie wo das dann überall landet! Deine Zeichnungen, besonders das 2. mehr ausgearbeitete sind wunderschön und entschädigen doch für alles.

Ah, but it is not easy to show our naked body, and less in a blog!
AntwortenLöschensometimes I think it might encourage me to walk naked on a beach in summer, I guess, modesty will last, only the first 5 minutes, then you get used.
It would be easier if someone else accompany me. I feel that there are areas of the body easier to show than others, why is that? the ass, for example, would not bother me to show.:) Ok. I liked your sketches.!
Wunderbare Zeichnungen.
