This piece, the fifth anatomical drawing for my independent study project 'Art Embodied,' is based on my studies of Realism and Impressionism. While the aesthetic of this drawing may seem more impressionistic than realistic, conceptually it is founded in Realism. The female figure holds a picture frame to her torso to represent the Realist artist's committment to depicting everyday life accurately. The Realist's aim was to translate the physical world to the canvas in a streamlined, honest and occassionally simplified way. In this drawing the process of transposition is taken to an efficient extreme — the real-life subject is simultaneously the work of art.
