Garbo and the Charnel House
Ink and wash on 11x14 bristol, colored in Photoshop
I was playing around with a lot of my interests on this piece. Greta Garbo of course, from a photo of her taken around 1929, her last with Ruth Harriet Louise. The picture was of her standing in front of a painting, but I didn't really like the painting. Earlier this week I was flipping through Pulp Hope again and noticed how Paul Pope incorporated Picasso a lot into his work, and Picasso is without a doubt my favorite painter. So I flipped through my collection of Picasso's work and came across 'The Charnel House' and it felt perfect for this piece. I hadn't really tried to duplicate another artist's work since high school art class and remembered how much can be learned from doing that.
