<span style="font-family: inherit;">This episode of the podcast is an interview with artist, writer and composer Paul Rhoads. Paul has some very interesting opinions and certainly is willing to go against popular thought. Our talk is mostly about painting and culture:</span><br />

I am relaunching my podcast with an aim to make it a little more consistent. I will be interviewing individuals, mostly artists to start with, whose work I am interested in. These will be fine and sacred artists as well as comic book artists and illustrators.<br />
<br />
My first interview is with Kalman Andrasofszky. Kalman is a Toronto native, best know for his work on the relaunch of Captain Canuck. His career spans 17 years and includes card work, covers, a creator owned series for DC and a member of R.A.I.D. studios. To wrap it up we go in-depth into his work for Chapterhouse Comics. Hope you enjoy.<br />

Northern Portugal is filled with interesting figurative sculpture. Mostly in bronze, they range from 19th century pieces up to the contemporary. I am not sure how the Portuguese managed to continue this wonderful tradition while the rest of Europe fell to the curse of the postmodern but I suspect it may have to do with the strong Catholic traditions embeded in the culture while Salazar was ruling the country. From the city to small village you will find interesting and often beautiful works.<br />
<br />
To start this series lets take a look at Praça da República in Porto.The square was opened in the latter half of the 18th century. Shortly after the military headquarters was built on the north side and the area was used for military maneuvers. In 1910, upon the proclamation of the Republic, the square was further developed with the addition of flower beds and the sculptures below.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The Passion and the Resurrection of Jesus
Christ is the very heart of </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Christianity. As the Gospels and the Old
Testament must be interpreted in light of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from
the dead, so too must our lives.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The important news of the Resurrection needs to
be affirmed and confirmed. The modern world’s misunderstanding of the meaning
of the Passion and the Resurrection is profound. As predicted by St. Paul in 1,
Thessalonians 4:13: “Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those
who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men who have no hope.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">1 </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Many
around us are “without hope and without God in the world.”</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">(</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Ep
2,12). The disintegration of the family, abortion, the rise of euthanasia, and
an ever increasing desire to satisfy only the flesh are a reflection of the
denial of the redemptive power of suffering. In his Apostolic Letter, Salvifici
Doloris, Pope John Paul II offers enlightening words in this regard. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Human
suffering, has reached its culmination in the Passion of Christ and at the same
time it has entered into a completely new dimension and a new order: it has been
linked to love, to that love which creates good, also drawing it out from evil by
means of suffering, just as the supreme good of the Redemption of the world was
drawn from the Cross of Christ, and from that Cross constantly takes its beginning.
The Cross of Christ has become a source from which flow rivers of living water</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Despite tremendous advances in health care and
comfortable lives, we face something we cannot control: death. The more energy
we spend soothing ourselves, the further we move away from an understanding of
our true end and a denial of the resurrection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">And yet, the gospels speak:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">"It is true! The Lord has risen and has
appeared to Simon." Then the two told what had happened on the way, and
how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. While they were still
talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,
"Peace be with you. "They were startled and frightened, thinking they
saw a ghost. He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts
rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and
see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have." When he
had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. And while </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">they still did not believe it because of joy
and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their
presence. (Lk 24,34–43)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Myths, scattered throughout world history,
speak of resurrection. In<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Egyptian culture, concepts of an afterlife
first appear with the sun gods. Later, the myth of Osiris has him brought back
to life by Isis and become the judge of the dead. The eastern concept of
reincarnation is related to resurrection. In Mesopotamia, we hear the story of
Tammuz who was banished to the underworld but revived six months later. Attis
was reborn as an evergreen tree, an event celebrated March 25 in the Phoenician
civilization. The Greco- </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Roman world had Adonis. According to Homer when
the ancient classical world spoke of bodily resurrection they only did so to
deny it. Death could not be undone.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">3 </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Writers
of the time maintained that the dead were in fact non-existent. Plato proposed a
radically different view of resurrection. For Plato, the soul is the true form of
the person. The body is temporary while the soul is forever. When a person </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">dies his soul goes to Hades and there, judgment
is passed on him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The Judaic belief regarding life after death
fall into three categories:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Initially, there was an absence of hope for
life after death. Slowly, the idea that God’s love endures even after death
developed, indicating some kind of afterlife. The final version built on this
concept by including bodily life after death.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">4 </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Despite
such beliefs, resurrection makes few appearances in the Old Testament. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Into these worldviews Christianity was born.
The first Christians insisted that Christ did rise bodily from the dead. This
hope was at the center of Christianity. It was, at its core, a resurrection
movement and its entire theology rested upon that one event: Jesus of Nazareth
had been raised from the dead in a transformed body.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">5 </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">In
the Resurrection of Christ, myth and history meet and reality is transformed. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">As noted by by C.S. Lewis:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The heart of Christianity is a myth, which is
also a fact. The old myth of the<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">dying God, without ceasing to be myth, comes
down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history. It
happens - at a particular date in a particular place, followed by definable
historical consequences. We pass from a Balder or an Osiris, dying nobody knows
when or where, to a historical person under Pontius Pilate. By becoming fact it
does not cease to be myth: that is the miracle...this is the marriage of
Heaven: Perfect Myth and Perfect Fact, claiming not only our love and obedience,
but also our wonder and delight, addressed to the savage, the child, and the
poet in each one of us no less than to the moralist, the scholar and the
philosopher</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Details may differ and lengths vary, yet all
four gospels share the story of a visit to the tomb by Mary Magdalene on the
first day of the week. What she found was an empty tomb. Shortly thereafter,
Christ begins to make appearances. The Lord appeared first to Mary Magdalene
who did not recognize him. “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where
you have put him, and I will get him.” (Jn 20,15). It was not until Jesus spoke
her name that she recognized him. On the evening of that first day, “Jesus came
and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" After he said
this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they
saw the Lord.” (Jn 20,19–20). In Emmaus he remained unrecognized by </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">the disciples until he broke bread.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The bodily resurrection continues the love
shown by God in the Incarnation and affirms the goodness of God’s created
realm. It demonstrates the importance of this created realm and more
specifically the value of the body. It was upon this value that history was
written for the last two millennia. For art history, the body became subject
supreme as artist used it to express man’s </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">place in the world and his relationship to God.
Christ transformed body is revealed to us through the sacraments. We know from
the experiences of the apostles that this revelation is not immediately </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">visual. It takes place in the heart. “Then

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Modern psychology denies sin and rejects the
idea of man’s fallen nature. Science disallows the possibility of resurrection
and the comfort of modern life sees little meaning in it. It is true, we do not
“believe” in the Resurrection because it is not the result of intellectual
inquiry. It is supernatural and a mystery, the place where God and humanity
overlap. Rather we come to faith in the Risen One and when we do, we discover
who we are and what it means to be human.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

I have talked about the great Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky on this blog before. His film, Andrei Rublov is the best movie about art making and perhaps my favourite movie. If you have not seen it I highly recommend it. You can watch it online here: <a href="http://sovietmoviesonline.com/en/drama/73-andrey-rublev.html">http://sovietmoviesonline.com/en/drama/73-andrey-rublev.html</a><br />
<br />
Tarkovsky's views on art are very interesting and go counter to what we are told is art in our post-modern culture. I, for one, find myself agreeing with him.<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"There is no such thing as understanding art in any period apart from the philosophy of that period. Philosophy inspires art, and art reflects philosophy. We can never tell what the art of an age is unless we know what is the thought of the age. If the thought is lofty and spiritual, art will be lofty and spiritual; if the thought is base and material, art will be base and material. If the thought is of the heavens and heavenly, art will be of the heavens and heavenly; if the thought is of the earth and earthly, art will be of the earth and earthly. In that period of Grecian history, for example, when Plato and Socrates and Aristotle were giving eternal truths to men, the clear lines of the Parthenon and the airy Ionic of the Erechtheion served as so many petrified incarnations of their thought. Closer to our own times, when Rousseau set loose this exaltation of the ego and the romanticism of sense-passion, artists were found drinking at his fountain the shallow drafts of hatred for academic tradition, a license of inspiration, and a glorification of fleshy sensibilities. And now in our own day, what is the philosophical inspiration of Futurism and its wild love of novelty and 'absolute commencements,' motion for motion's sake, but the thought of Henri Bergson? What is the philosophical inspiration of Cubism, with is unrelated blocks, but the philosophy of Pluralism, which maintains that the multiple does not imply the unit? What is the whole inspiration of modern art but a Subjectivism introduced by Kant and his school, the heritage of which is a belief that no work of art itself is beautiful, but that it is our psychic or mental states that are beautiful, either because we project these states to the object, which is the Einfühlung theory, or because they harmonize with the tastes and commandments of society, which is the sociological theory, or because they produce intersecting reactions, which is the Pragmatic theory? If modern philosophy explains modern art, medieval philosophy explains medieval art. If we are to understand why they painted and why they sculptured and why they built a certain way, we must ask ourselves how they thought, for art is the lyrical expression of philosophy. Their civilization was much different from our own; in the thirteenth century, Christendom knew but one Church. There was just one Faith, one Lord, one Baptism, one Church. Since it was one in its rule of faith, it is easy to extract those basic principles of medieval life which served as the inspiration of their art. These principles are threefold: (1) Impersonalism, (20 Dogmatism, and (3) Sacramentalism."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica";">In architecture is reflected a philosophy of
life. The philosophical basis of the contemporary world is materialism, that is,
the negation of the spirit. If, however, no other world exists, only what can
be seen, palpated and scientifically analyzed, then it is clear that there can
never be architectural ornamentation as ornamentation is a symbol of

<span style="font-family: "helvetica";">When civilization was inspired by a more joyful philosophy, when things visible were appreciated as external expressions of
invisible things, the architecture was ennobled with countless ornaments: the
pelican feeding the children with the very blood of its veins symbolized the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ; the lion breathing life into dead offspring represented
the Resurrection; the fox, peering at the door of his den, served as a prescient
warning of Satan's traps. With his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Our Lord
said that if the men were steadfast in their faith in God, even the very stones
would proclaim His triumph. This actually came to pass in the the Gothic
cathedrals!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Off the Coast of Utopiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12025320647237757184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6841603253482241851.post-14315799856305880392016-10-20T07:31:00.000-07:002016-10-20T07:32:34.377-07:00A Recipe for Tempera Putrido <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<i>Tempera putrido</i> is like 'white-out' for oil painters<i>. </i>It is a white that can be used for corrections in a painting where you have to paint a light over a dark. The putrido will dry quickly and will not become transparent over time as a regular white would.<br />
<br />
This recipe came to me via John Angel who had a tube of it in his fridge back in the early 2000's. I was responsible for moving his home to a new apartment and I forgot the tube of putrido. It worked wonderfully and so I am not sure if I will ever live it down.<br />
<br />
You will need both tempera white and oil white:<br />
<br />
Tempera white - Mix together: 1 part egg yolk, 1 part water and 1 part pigment.<br />
<br />
Oil white - white pigment ground thickly into stand oil.<br />
<br />
The pigment can be titanium white or lead white although lead pigment is highly toxic if breathed in.<br />
<br />
Then: one part oil white ground in one part tempera white will give you <i>tempera putrido</i>. Tube it and store it in the fridge.<br />
<br />
Here is an old BBC video of Pietro Annigoni, John Angel's <i>maestro</i>, mixing tempera colours for his painting.<br />

I just started playing around with some new video software and have put together some videos on the painting process, mostly aimed at helping my students.<br />
<br />
Here is one on the steps in the production of a painting:<br />

Dr. Elizabeth Lev is one of my favourite art historians. An American based out of Rome, she speaks about art history with one foot thoroughly planted in the theology of the Catholic Church. <br />
She recently did a TEDtalk about the Sistine Chapel in which she describes it as, "..a great statement about how beauty truly can speak to us all, through time and through geographic space."<br />

As we have seen, Caravaggio developed a system of painting that allowed him to be extremely efficient in the period before his death. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The wash drawing is executed to a high degree of finish. The flesh is under painted with white and drapery is painted directly. Then, when dry, the overpainting of the flesh is started.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9FpVfShOPu4/VmCTCcRQaII/AAAAAAAABx8/tzTQjuhLxSc/s1600/81.Caravaggio%2BSteps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="95" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9FpVfShOPu4/VmCTCcRQaII/AAAAAAAABx8/tzTQjuhLxSc/s400/81.Caravaggio%2BSteps.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Caravaggio's basic palette included lead white, red
and yellow ocher, lead-tin yellow, vermilion (cinnbar),
malachite, carbon black and earth colors, plus madder
lake and copper resinate glazes. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I use a variation of a palette organized by John Angel and used at the Angel Academy. I have tried many different palettes and this one is perfect for copying Caravaggio.</span></div>
<div class="page" title="Page 3">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From left to right: Lead white, Zecchi roman ochre, Zecchi vermillion, Old Holland persian red, Old Holland red umber, Michael Harding burnt umber, Michael Harding raw umber, Old Holland green umber and ivory black.</span></div>

When studying late Caravaggio paintings, one gets an idea of his working method in this period.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--vzvdi2VCjY/Vlb6fwUEqFI/AAAAAAAABxo/GNy89vTXFuo/s1600/the-death-of-the-virgin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/--vzvdi2VCjY/Vlb6fwUEqFI/AAAAAAAABxo/GNy89vTXFuo/s200/the-death-of-the-virgin.jpg" width="130" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He is working very efficiently, leaving the mid-tone ground to act as shadows and thinner application of umber to describe darker tones while the lights are painted with few colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">In the Martrydom of St. Ursula, notice the flesh in the figure of St. Ursula, on the right. It is painted with an opaque white which is pulled thinner as the form moves away from the light. This gives us an idea of his underpainting process.</span></div>

Continuing on from the last blog entry, once the wash drawing has dried, the lights are rendered using a white. Caravaggio would have used a lead white but titanium works as well. If using titanium, add in a little bit of calcium carbonate to give the paint some body, opacity and to help it dry a little faster. Where the flesh is lightest, the paint is applied thickly. As the flesh darkens the paint is pulled thinner, resulting in the illusion of the three dimensional form.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: -24px;">In his later years Caravaggio developed a process which allowed him to work very efficiently - important as he was on the run for much of his last years.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left; text-indent: -24px;">I teach this method at the Angel Academy in Florence, Italy. For more info:</span></div>

The drawing is then rendered with umbers. The paint should be applied thinly, varying opacity where needed. The goal is to use 2 or 3 values to describe the image:</div>

There is a lovely little film about the Nerdrum School that recently debuted on youtube.<br />
The film focuses on Nerdrum alumnus Luke Hillestad and his experience at the Nerdrum school in Stavern, Norway. Based on my time with the master, this film captures the experience well - Nerdrum in his studio, the student studio and shots of Memorosa (the Nerdrum family home and studio). The glimpse of Nerdrum with his students is particularly special. Here we see Nerdrum at ease in his studio and at his most charismatic - we understand why he has enchanted so many.<br />
Enjoy the film here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBXaj4lMz0o">The Nerdrum School</a><br />

Having spent some time in Portugal has allowed me to make friends with a number of artists living and working there. One of these, the painter Antonio Macedo, invited me into his studio recently where we talked about his experience as an artist. Working professionally for 40 years, the conversation will be of interest to young artists just starting out as Antonio shares his ideas of what painting should be.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also known
as the "Glorification of the Renaissance". Completed by the Hungarian
painter Mihaly Munkacsy in 1888, this ceiling painting from
the Kunsthistoriches Museum in Vienna is a representation of the
atelier of the Renaissance Masters. In the bottom left we see Raphael and
Leonardo conversing with Veronese working on a large canvas just behind them. In the centre is Titian
instructing a young student working from the model. Just below and to the
right is Michelangelo with hammer, leaning on a balustrade. In the loggia above is in
Pope Julius II whose papacy was marked by ambitious building projects and
patronage for the arts. The goddess could be Ozwiena, the
Slavic goddess of Fame and Glory or the Allegory of Peace and Prosperity.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
Just above the reclining female is the self-portrait of Munkacsy, considered one of the most important painters of 19th century Hungary.</div>

Students worked from a combination of life and photographs to incorporate the best of both in one painting. Essentially students used the photo for the drawing stage and the model to check colours and values. The goal was to make an interesting painting and so students worked within a traditional system used by master artists. A variety of examples of systems were explained and shared and students choose one they liked.</div>

I have finally gotten around to uploading a series of videos taken of me by friend Luccio Parillo during my workshop, 'Methods of Contemporary Portrait Painters' at the Angel Academy in June of 2014. Each video is a short slice (around 1 - 2 minutes) of my 3 hour demo painting well known model Rony Cadavid.<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">November 6 - 17, Richmond B.C - Methods of the Masters: Caravaggio</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";">In this 60-hour workshop, students will gain
hands-on familiarity with the techniques of one of the great masters of sacred
art, Michelangelo Merisi, also called Caravaggio. Known for dramatic compositions
using light and dark, called chiaroscuro, Caravaggio developed a very specific
and efficient way of working. Using a high-quality reproduction, students will
have the opportunity to thoroughly study how Caravaggio created his
masterpieces. Beginning with the drawing stage through to the final glazes, all
stages of Caravaggio’s painting process will be discussed and practiced.</span><span style="font-family: "times";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Odd Nerdrum is one of the most interesting and important artists alive today. Nerdrum's pictures reflect the spiritual malaise which overwhelms post-modern man. His paintings are timeless, yet radically traditional.<br />
The figures of Nerdrum's (seemingly) post-apocolyptic landscapes reflect a clear belief in the manipulation of anatomy to express a mood or an idea. The master himself talks about this:<br />
<b>"The highest level you could think about is when you make a picture where you can't say when it was made. You have to make small heads, big hands, long stomachs, so the whole figure is moving upwards".</b> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUrP2cvtFJ4#t=21m34s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUrP2cvtFJ4#t=21m34s</a>)<br />

Nerdrum works exclusively from life, with multiple sittings from multiple models. He selects those features he needs, distorting and interpreting to create the characters that populate his landscapes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As an example of this, in my time studying with Nerdrum, I was asked to pose for one of the figures in a painting, that of an old wizard. The model for the wizard was a well-built older gentleman with a healthy head of hair while the figure in the painting was bald. My head came in handy as I was the only bald student around.</div>

This quote from the website <a href="http://saudadecrux.blogspot.pt/2007/09/in-my-childhood-i-preferred-darkness.html" target="_blank">sine qua non</a> sums up Nerdrum's work beautifully:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"In Nerdrum's work the body and its natural functions - erections, defecation, even aging- are used to jolt us out of our tidy complacency. His blighted landscapes also do much to increase the overall disquiet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But at the core, the essence, Nerdrum's paintings violate with one final traumatic twinge: that of almost unbearable beauty"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19px;">Koji </span>Morimoto is one of Japan's premiere anime artist/directors but his work is not well known outside of his homeland. I was never a huge manga or anime fan but I happened to see a show of drawings and paintings from various anime projects while I was in Madrid a couple of years ago. It lead me to look into Morimoto's work. </span></div>

What is "artistic anatomy"? It is the deliberate distortion of anatomy in order to make an artistic statement which may (or may not) support a philosophical idea. Artistic anatomy is the "...practical application of learned anatomy for heightened dramatic effect and maximum visual impact. Just as the most elegant words have no effectiveness unless they are used properly in a sentence, anatomical expertise without intelligent and judicious application will fail to communicate even the finest draughtsman's attention."* In today's academies, students are taught fidelity to nature and accuracy of seeing which makes for excellent work which however can sometimes be a little sterile. Interpretation and distortion for the sake of expression is often overlooked when drawing and painting figures.<br />
<br />
For much of the 20th century, particularly in the dark days of the 60's and 70's, comic books were where much of the figurative tradition lived. Comic books are a great way to start of a series of posts on artistic anatomy considering that the simplification and distortion of anatomy is key to the art form.<br />
<br />
The greatest comic artist of all time, Jack Kirby, is a example of an artist using artistic anatomy,<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TsHgcTKn2DI/VDBlJtGFOBI/AAAAAAAABMg/a1KlWo0q4Kg/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2014-10-04%2Bat%2B10.22.00%2BPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TsHgcTKn2DI/VDBlJtGFOBI/AAAAAAAABMg/a1KlWo0q4Kg/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2014-10-04%2Bat%2B10.22.00%2BPM.png" height="290" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kirby's early work showed a mastery of anatomy but by the end of his career he had developed a short hand for anatomy that was distinctly his. Squiggly lines and sharp, straight lines interplay across the surface of his figures lending a sense of action and urgency to them. This is the essence of artistic anatomy in the comic medium - "the amplification of anatomy to the point of impossibility and beyond."*</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also typical of Kirby are the oversized hands, bodies at 8 heads or more tall and exaggerated musculature. A hallmark of figures in heroic art:</div>

Jim Steranko was a young graphic designer who had a short but fantastic run on a series of Marvel Comics in the 1960's. He took Kirby's language and made it his own:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later, in his self published magazine Media Scene, he wrote an article titled: The Laws of Action" in which he describes how an artist can bring energy, expression and grace to a figure. It is a manifesto that is useful for all figurative artists. Let me know what you think.</div>

In my on-going attempt to improve my artistic anatomy I thought I would share some of the recent sketches in my sketchbook. The sources come form a variety of places - wherever I see a beautifully designed body. Fine art, comics and illustration, drawing manuals as well as photographs. I am trying to absorb the mechanics of the body, to memorize the forms and understand how various artists distort the figure for a particular effect.</div>
