Tony Tuckson, (what humanity!)
I have always loved this oil portrait of
his wife. Simple, so simplified actually, at least in a painter's vocabulary. But, what humanity! One really cannot teach this sort of thing.

Tony Tuckson: pencil forever!
Here is a really wonderful drawing by Tony Tuckson, who was both a very interesting Australian painter and a Curator at the Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. Some of his early portraits are very, very fine.

Rodin, Le Remarquable!
I find that I always go back to these drawings/washes, especially when I have been exposed to the dreadful things I see being done today in the name of art. Ha ha...
One rarely sees abstraction, or form in the world of what I can only call 'illustration' and what is passed off as 'craft'. Rodin, like all really great artists had a sense for 'unity' of the pictorial plane.
