Rachel II- 5 min. pose

Rachel II - 5 min. pose, charcoal, red and white pastel.

I've read in LES 200 PLUS BEAU DESSINS DU MONDE (The 200 most beautiful drawings in the world) by Jean-Luc Chahumeau, (translation mine): " The drawing grasps the present better than any other  form of expression. It's the drawing that delivers the artist from all the heaviness around her/him. ... It's us, the painters, the real heirs, we who continue painting. We are the heirs of Rembrandt, Velasquez, Cezanne, Matisse" and I add Rosalba Carriera, Elizabeth Vigee-Le Brun, Mary Cassatt, Georgia O'Keefe. "A painter always has a father and a mother, we are not born orphans..."
He leido en Los 200 dibujos mas hermosos del mundo, autor Jean-Luc Chahumeau: "El dibujo representa el presente mejor que ninguna otra forma de expresion. Es el dibujo lo que alivia al artista de la pesadez a su alrededor. Somos nosotras, las pintoras/pintores las verdaderas herederas, las que continuamos dibujando/pintando..... Somos las herederas de Rembrandt, Velasquez, Cezanne, Matisse" y yo agrego: Rosalba Carriera, Elizabeth Vigee-Le Brun, Mary Cassatt, Georgia O'Keefe. "Una pintora siempre tiene un padre y una madre, no somos huerfanas..."
