I have a thing for headless women
Arms aren’t necessary either. Who doesn’t love Venus? She’s part of my favorite myth, Cupid and Psyche, and the illustrations and sculptures of Venus over the years are fascinating to me. She’s the representation of the perfect woman – and I love her figure in classical sculpture. I made a negative painting of Venus de Milo a while back (I don’t have a good photo of it). This one isn’t based on Venus de Milo, but on a Hellenistic female sculpture. Even though it might not have necessarily been of Venus, art historians call these types of female torso’s “Venuses” because it’s very likely most of them are of Venus. Anyway. This is my take on it. I like it.
