Edwaaarrd, I ordered the print because I cherish beauty of the male form. Which reminds me:
We cannot know his legendary head with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso is still suffused with brilliance from inside, like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low,
gleams in all its power. Otherwise the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could a smile run through the placid hips and thighs to that dark center where procreation flared.
Otherwise this stone would seem defaced beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur:
would not, from all the borders of itself, burst like a star: for here there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.
"Archaic Torso of Apollo" by Rainer Maria Rilke translated by Stephen Mitchell
Yes, Ed, of course I know :) It's the Edwaarrd that should give it away. That's my imitation of how you said The Blonde addresses you sometimes, most assuredly when you deserve it!
I bought this Azoulay when I was 21 for my first house. At that time I had a roommate to help finance the house who found the Azoulay embarrassing, too embarrassing to have up so it was tucked away in an unused room. It was up, but not seen.
I also bought a horse. I liked they way the musculature is suggested wrongly, the guy is no whatchyacallit, anatomy ology ist, he's not that. The muscles are wrong in both human and the other one the horse, but it looks like a figure defined by isobars is caught in a spider web, the wavy lines zip off to the edges. That is the style.
He ended up with the picture. Has a new place. I noticed the Azoulay was hidden in distant 3rd story bedroom, the condos are narrow but tall, so 4 stories then with basement and all that but still very narrow and no windows on two sides. Odd, those condos, but all that is irrelevant. Now the picture of a guy's nekid butt is hung on the very first wall one encounters upon entry. Apparently it's not embarrassing anymore.

No wonder you asked me if things could be "embiggened."
LOL
Chick, I'm just not the sharpest tack in the box. All anyone has to do to see the picture more clearly is Ctrl +
Sometimes I worry about me :)
That is beautiful work. I'd like it if Palladian would stop by to discuss it.
That's what you get nude tanning in this weather - shrinkage.
Bravo, Palladian.
Dirty is in the eye of the beholder.
Figs leave nothing to the imagination.
Only girls can get away with hanging porn on the wall. If you hire a maid, that would be a hostile work environment.

Also, I would be remiss not to provide Palladian's art site:

One of these days, Ed, to the moon!
Hire a lesbian maid, bags. Upside, girlfriend won't feel any need to worry :)

But you said it was dirty...
Perhaps a little dusting and polishing?
lol!

Perhaps that's what she meant.
PS deborah, you know I'm kidding...

I don't understand why you're calling quits, deborah. :(
She'll be back.
Oh man, this reminded me of something, but first,
that man is nekid!

Don't go, Deb!

I appreciate your confidence in me. Bastard.
Love you too, Rits :)
