Camila Batmanghelidjh by Dean Marsh

Camila Batmanghelidjh by Dean Marsh. In the National Portrait GalleryBritain. I think this was a study for another, larger painting. Even though the technique, angle and unfinished headgear make this study appear to be from the 1600s or so it is unmistakably modern. I'm trying to figure out why; it might simply be that she plucks her eyebrows.

No sexist, racist and offensive slurs, threats or violent rhetoric. Though this is not a "safe space," you must be respectful to others. Disagreement, though, is encouraged. Finally, I don't want to spend my time re-inventing the wheel, so this blog *begins* with the assumption that various social oppressions are real and valid; that art movements post-1880 are, in fact, "art;" and that any artist who has taken the time and expense to plan, make, market and show their art-- no matter how shocking, expensive, or crude in appearance-- is deserving of consideration. This is not up for debate. Have fun!
