Les Amours de Pierrot

Raphael Kirchner created a series of paintings for Flo Ziegfeld's Century Theatre lobby called Les Amours de Pierrot, depicting Ziegfeld showgirls as the various loves of Pierrot. Pierrot's dream follows a series of temptresses representing the Deadly Sins and a final one called Expiation, where he pays for his dalliances with his head on Salome's platter.

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, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
