Dolls
|
|
|
|
When I’m painting dolls I won’t show them as sweet toys, but as personalities. I
appreciate most antique dolls up to the 50’s, not because of their value as
collectibles, but because of their special doll character, which means to me being
something between a child and a lady and often showing a kind of erotic
appearance, only dolls are possessed of.

Doll for Nasty Children
(13.1x9.7), oil on acrylic,
1985
|
|
Dependent (17.7x11.8),
oil on acrylic, 1985
|
|
|
Melpomene (20 x 27.6), Oil on acrylic, 1978
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Okay, these first examples aren't quite charming, but they already show my tendency
to a more symbolic background. Melpomene isn't a simple doll still life, but showing
one of the muses, rather neglected as muses sometimes are...

After these paintings I stopped for nearly ten years using dolls as a
subject. Then my interest in dolls was aroused again and I began to
build up a nice collection of models, when I began to paint the 22
Major Arcana of my Doll Tarot (also shown on this website).
