Torso in Blue

Torso in Blue"We will be happy if we can get around to the idea that art is not an outside and extra thing; that it is a natural outcome of a state of being; that the state of being is an important thing." Robert Henri, The Art Spirit. A beautiful and svelte pose in diffused natural light. Prominent grain textures. Curvaceous and diagonal elements. A monochromatic print in a bright, cyanish blue tone.
