Lusting Beauty: Time Marches On. . .

It's been quite a few years since Michelangelo faced that large cast off piece of marble. His use of it became legend and then some.


I thought it might be fun to post some art the owes all or part of its existence to the work of that ancient masterpiece. See what you think.


Some are humorous, Constance Ehrlich (above),Jeffrey Brimley (below)


Or biographical, Steve Walker


Abstracted, Erin Robertson


And even very sensual. Steven Stines

Lusting Beauty of Hands

Firm restraint,


Vessel for flowery tokens,


Godly contact,


Tender caress and embrace,


Wellspring of artistic whimsy and imagination,


Or modesty's aid; the hands.

Lusting Beautiful Bodyscapes II

The ancient master of bodyscapes says it all.


"What spirit is so empty and blind,


that it cannot recognize the fact


that the foot is more noble than the shoe,


and skin more beautiful


that the garment


with which it is clothed?"


Buonarroti Michelangelo
