The Three Graces

Out Magazine / 2018

The Greeks depicted the Graces as 3 women and then, 1300 or so years later, the Old Masters like Botticelli, Raphael and Rubens reenvisioned the subject. Twentieth Century artists returned to the subject Picasso, Delaunay, Arp, Man Ray and contemporary artists like Sally Mann continue to depict the image of three female bathers. This portrayal was a proposition to myself to take the values of the original – three idealized figures – and re-envision them in a contemporary context. This is layered with the USA Information Service propaganda which instructs its viewers on how to do things The Right Way.
