I found a kind of photoshopped image of a woman on a horse advertising I think 'godiva chocolates' or something along those lines...it's stuck in my sketchbook, but I might take a picture if i remember later, I'm sure I got it from a Vogue mag...people may have seen it.

This picture of Natalia Vodianova reminds me of "The Kiss"


Gustav Klimt

and Jessica Stam's face reminds me of Botticelli faces

yeah, a bit. It's the prominent eye lids, curled lips and pronounced chin.

Okay, this isn't really modeling but here's a screenshot of Uma Thurman playing Venus in one of her early movies:

I think she has a very painterly face.

^ As do I although it refers to America, and morover an America of the past. I have no other access to this world other than through, like Raymond Chandler novels or TS Eliot poems. Still that is what is nice about the paintings. They feel so cut off like a little capsule of a world.

 

[saribrett]

yes like how he portrays the loneliness and vacuity of a big city (new york), i guess thats what makes it feel cut off
