Kolbe




















This lovely lady was in an otherwise rather dry exhibition of German prints at the British Museum. I like her hat, and her muscularity (reminds me of the Michelangelo paintings of women on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, who are basically just blokes with boobs.) And the fact that she is naked by the river for no apparent reason. Just shows, the most unpromising exhibition can have surprises.

By an master printmaker & etcher called Kolbe of quite staggering technical skill.
