Inspiration (January 2005 - April 2010)

[m.j.]

late 80's early 90's...

I'm fascinated with this woman. After doing some Googling, I found this page with several pictures (and a video!) of her: http://www.fugandbusted.com/2008/12/eloisa-bercero-poco-gusto-y-mucho-dinero.html

that's just the rudest and funniest thing I've read in ages.. I'm not sure I still like her but I think we have enough pictures to start her a thread ..
kiddo.. classicalbang?

^^ I second that!

MulletProof, there's been some speculation as to whether or not the woman in the Sartorialist photo is actually Eloisa Bercero, so I wasn't sure if I should start a thread on her or not. If the woman in the photos is not, in fact, Eloisa, she sure has one hell of a doppelganger.

this painting inspires me...

it's of Belisarius as a beggar

 

[MulletProof]

^don't forget to credit your image, afanasi. part of our guidelines!.

classicalbang, have you read the last comments? . There seems to be some safe assurance (by her son?) that she's not Eloisa and I'm happy to believe that, since the sartorialist had previously captured her and that closer shot does not resemble Berceo at all.

[sartorialist]

this one, however, does..

Since they all look alike, I'll happily go with the intellectual/boutique-owner Parisian option. After that interview you post (I translated it for you two but wonder if it's still relevant to post?), I was feeling heartbroken that such a memorable image could've been accomplished by a majorly dumb character like Berceo, whom now I wish had stayed anonymous in my head.

Also their tastes in clothing seem to be different...
As you said MP, owning money to have style... I find kiddokiddo's photo of the woman could care less

 

[Afanasi]

Ah, sorry, the painting is by [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]François-André Vincent[/SIZE][/FONT]

 

[MulletProof]

thank you, Afanasi. That's a real-world credit, also important, but what we're aiming for.. is the site which you took the image from, for the reasons stated here.

Gius, yes! , I was trying to imagine the way in which this woman suddenly went from Gianni Versace lover to Harnden appreciator. Not that it's impossible, I just don't think a fashion designer with no seasonal front row and unwilling to pay a first-class seat to carry a suit for a client is anywhere in her priorities.

hahaha, your obsession to her is immensely charming, Mullet...Neat finds, everyone, I truly agree and happy with the idea of her not being Eloisa
Thank you for posting

I went to the Marlene Dumas exhibit at MoMA last week and can honestly say that I find her work both repulsive (for pretty obvious reasons) and yet oddly beautiful (the colors she uses and the way she mixes them is absolutely incredible). It was honestly a pretty good exhibit in the sense that it was so bizarre. One canvas would be depicting a stripper or a prostitute's gaping orifice of some sort and the next would be a portrait of a corpse in a morgue.

"Suspect" (this one was one of my favorites)

"The Kiss" and "Stripper"

"Stern" (this was another favorite)

"Turkish Girl" and "Leather Boots"

"Morning Dew"

"Measuring Your Own Grave" (my last favorite)

"High Heeled Shoes" (so NOT safe for work)

I really love Marlene Dumas. Not everything, as some of her work is a little difficult to look at sometimes. But still, she can really hit my emotions at the right moment. And she knows how to work the paint!
