Lusting Ancient Athletes

Most everyone is familiar with Discobolus,Greek 5th century by Myron.


Below, is a lesser known version known as Standing Discus Thrower,
By Naukydes, circa 420-400 BC.



Its discovery was made by David Hamilton in the
Galliens-Villa on the Appian Way in 1771.

Some beautiful detail shots of a later version are shown below.

Lusting Artistic Alias

If you want to change your style, but you don't want to lose your identity on a style you've already had success with, what do you do?



Mark Beard has a possible solution; create different persona for yourself, that paint, or sculpt, in different styles!



  • Mark Beard-the real deal (1956-)

  • Bruce Sargeant, imaginary English artist (1898-1938)

  • Hippolyte-Alexandre Michallon-Sargeant imaginary teacher (1849-1930)

  • Edith Thayer Cromwell, imaginary American avant-gardeist (1893-1962)

  • Brechtolt Steeruwitz, imaginary German impressionist (1890-1973)

  • Peter Colter, imaginary contemporary artist (1948-)

To see the "artists" and examples of "their" art visit John Stevenson Gallery .
