From When Stars Fall by Rita Foster


She draws,

What's seen with out,

Then,

Adds with in,

With chalk or pen,

And thus,

Her art is born.

Face Made of Hands___by Patrick Arrasmith



Hands,
Wrists,
Forearms borne,
Gentle grip,
Or clenching hard,
Fingered lips a mouth surround,
All to form a face made of hands.

More of Mr. Arrasmith's thought provoking illustrations can be found here.

Lusting Art of Rockwell Kent


Bather

Fair wind

Skilled in simplicity, of form and message, master of black-and-white wood engravings, the art of Rockwell Kent.

Out of Order___ by Grzegorz Szczerbaciuk


Headless,
Catlike creature,
But human born,
Shaped supple muscle,
Ligature,
Bone.

Nude,
Not naked,
Uniquely complete,
Completely unadorned.

Each sees the other through different eyes,
Each hearing a varied verse,mesmerised by the poetry of the nude.

Broken Shield ___ by Giacomo Ceccarelli



Gleaming masculine torso, lustrous smoothness,
Thou art so sensuously displayed.
Beckoning my hand to touch each rise and fall,
At once knowing that each stroke will supply,
Increasing beauty, once invisible to mind's eye.

Le Sacre Du Printemps__by Paul Mellander


Like a Vision from an ancient time,
A figure balanced upon a column marble,
Below rites of spring practiced are.

He speaks,

"All hear me! Rejoice and make merry.
Arise Narcissus, return Demeter from Hades' realm,
And Let Stravinsky's music fill my ears".


More of Mr. Mellander's very classy classical style work can be seen here and here.
