Primal Venus Story
This graphite drawing was a finalist in the Dobell Drawing Prize #23. For Dobell Exhibition details click here.
She’s probably the most famous chunk of rock on the planet.
The ‘Venus’ de Milo should be called Aphrodite as she’s a Greek goddess and Venus is Roman. She originally had arms and, like most classical sculptures, she was probably brightly painted.
So she now looks very different to how she was created. Jonathon Jones calls her ‘an accidental surrealist masterpiece... enigmatic incompleteness has transformed an ancient work of art into a modern one’.
She has inspired the work of Dali, Cezanne, Magritte and countless other artists.
For me, she always seemed to be precariously balanced, on the verge of an
embarrassing collapse at any moment.
