Have you checked out Rodin's drawings, even better!
The level of blurriness is fine. I would overexpose it, if i may suggest
Not only may, I greatly appreciate it. I´ll give it a try.
I like this, but the the model doesn't seem relaxed ... which for me adds some stress to my viewing where stress may not be wanted or warranted.
Thanks Gary. It is not suppose to be relaxed, quite the contrary. Despair and tension, surrender to an eternal pointless task. Originally intended for the "gates of Hell". Rodin´s piece I meant
the pose reminds me of Pompei vulcano eruption victims, somehow.
Interesting point. Thanks Airy
she seeme to be helping herself to more relaxation it seems
You made a good point Frank. It is "the" point for me with the original sculpture. Her agony, lack of clothes and protection, the connections with the rock -here trying to make the hair one with the black floor- and of course the posture and position of her hand, is intended to have those two meanings or readings at once. Not the first time a religious ecstasy or hellish agony have been seen as a sexual climax.
