charcoal nude
the nude evokes many contradictory things. Historically, the nude figure has been seen as representing innocence and purity as well as sensuality and sexuality. The artistic nude can be Apollonian, showing the harmonies of sacred geometry as embodied in the human form, or it can be Dionysian, expressing unconstrained energy or emotion. Power and weakness, pride and shame, pleasure and pain: all of these are the experiences of being in the flesh, and all can be shown in the image of the flesh. #caharcoalportrait #charcoaldrawing #charcoalnude #nudecharcoal
