Creative Swipe

I love coming across connections like this. Like so many artists, this Mexican calendar artist, Jose Bribiesca, found inspiration in Andrew Loomis' Figure Drawing For All Its Worth. At least this painting from 1953, called The Dance of the Little Old Man,  succeeded as a creative swipe. 

This particular pose seems to be the most popular for swipes, as you can see if you go over to the labels, click on Andrew Loomis and scroll down to the bottom (sorry, I can't seem to make a direct link).
Jose Bribiesca - 1953

About Me

My Photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, as I don't limit myself in the process of how an image is made. Images are my life.
View my complete profile
I intend to share many of my pictorial treasures, some not terribly rare, but terribly meaningful to me. I like to zoom in on details along the way and share what has inspired me in my career as an artist. And I would like to examine the value of pictorial images, not in terms of money, but in degrees of imagination.

I refer to myself as a pictorialist, not just in my set of skills, but in my lifelong appreciation of the skills and talents of artists, illustrators, cartoonists, sculptors, photographers, typographers, and graphic designers. I'd like to share that appreciation with anyone who stumbles into my little world.

It's a good little world!
