Welcome to my blog!


If this is the first time you are viewing it, I strongly recommend to start from "About Us," and then go to the very beginning (August 2011, Post 1). Otherwise, you may still enjoy the drawings, but the whole idea won't make much sense (I truly hope it does make sense if you read it in the proper order).

55. The Art of Dance.

This drawing called "A Dancing God" Victor made awhile ago, and I always liked it and wanted to post in this blog, but somehow it didn't fit any topic. Finally, just a couple of days ago he sent me two more dance drawings, and now this makes a little series. By the way, if I am not mistaken, he made this one learning how to use and experimenting with his new Chinese calligraphy set.
 
"A Dancing God"
"Танцующий Бог"
 
 

"Dance"
"Танец"
 
 
"Tango"
"Танго"
 
If someone wonders why this man has a strange mask, it's a rear case where I can provide an explanation. Not why he wears it, but where it came from. Victor drew him after visiting the Museum of African Art in Washington DC. He had always dreamed about it, and we had talked how African art influenced many artists, such as Picasso and Modigliani. So I guess, he decided to demonstrate this influence right away. (I am kidding here. He never decides anything about his drawings. They decide on their own.)
 
 
 
This last drawing is not really a dance (or is it?), at least this was not the original idea of it (but once again, I never know Victor's original ideas...). And I don't remember enough about chemistry to insist that there must be a connection. But the word "chemistry" has that second meaning, at least, in English, that kind of justifies that this lady belongs here as well. Even though it's a solo dance.

"Валентность"
