Brigitte Bardot: 
"I have never been a victim of sexual harassment. And I thought it was nice to be told that I was beautiful or that I had a cute little butt. This kind of compliment is charming. But there are many actresses who play naughty with producers to get a role. Then, fishing for media attention, they come to tell that they have been harassed ...
In fact, rather than to help them, it hurts them. "


Catherine Deneuve: "Rape is a crime. But insistent or clumsy seduction is not a crime, nor is gallantry a machismo aggression. "

Glenda Jackson: In my country, two women die every week at the hands of their partners. The idea that this is suddenly going to transform the lives of women is absurd. Violence against women is as old as we are. The trafficking of women isn’t going to stop because some big guy in Hollywood has to give up his company. And to think that people didn’t know it was going on. Come on.

Spike-online «Rather than bringing the sexes together with improved mutual understanding, we are in danger of driving the sexes apart. If I were a man right now, I’d lock the door of my study with the intention of satisfying myself with internet porn for the indefinite future. Real women would not seem worth the risk of destroying my career"

It does not matter whether someone is smart, stupid, beautiful or ugly, everyone who has been on the planet for a long time has become wise. Life-wise.
Where that wisdom comes from is always another story. The older a person becomes, the more interesting his story.gets

american icons RIP

1/4/2018

It can not be a coincidence that unintentional death plays an important role in the creation of icons. We admire them, we love to be inspired by them and sometimes even wish to resemble them.
But we can't ever be as famous as them,
because we do not want to end like them,
do we?

back to basics

7/2/2018

0 Comments

 
for me as an artist 'back to basics' has a double intention. Or significance, or motivation or you may even call it personal development plan (Yes, old school homework!) 
It means:
a) back to the core as far as subject is concerned: the naked human
b) back to the craft in technique: anatomic drawing of, again, the naked human.
There is no escape from it, no matter how modern I may feel, I keep crawling back to the craftmanship of the old masters

femininity is fantastic

Apart from the female solidarity in this whole #Metoo hysteria, we would better focus on self-esteem and autonomy.
If it is up to the imams, all femininity must disappear from the social platform and sadly enough many Western politicians (male and female) are cowardly helping them.
Women should be proud of their sexual attractiveness and their ability to create life and enjoy this.
​Femininity is genuinely divine and real men can appreciate this.

revaluation of the human essence

What the hell are we thinking?
'gender neutrality'
'anti-discrimination'
Let us first go back to the essence, to what is certain: We 'humans' live on the planet earth, we are mammals, of sexual reproduction and depend on the group for our survival.
That is the same for everyone.
Some of us are super feminine women, others maybe hiper macho men and most of us fall somewhere in between. We all come in different sizes and different tones.
You know the saying about colors and tastes, don't you?
So... ​
May 
everyone accept his own, love it and be happy

One does not need to be a futurologist
or space ship captain to see
the perspective of this advice.

It is a quote by the late Jack Vance,

A prolific nature makes a female artist

I love to watch creative people. They are always busy with the most diverse activities. Creativity usually comes out on different levels. Often, but not always,  they are women. Both my grandmothers were real thousandpots, my Mom is a great chef, deserving soprano, all-time gardener and so much more. 
With all respect, gentlemen, I believe that women are creative by nature. We have to be.  
Life pops out of us and it screams for our utmost attention and ingenuity.
It is the evidence itself therefore stripped of most of the glory.

Rosalyn Drexler is a good example. Just like Gina Lollobrigida, Elizabeth Lennie and why not (false modesty is no virtue) ME !
