Diane with Long Boots and Fire
artist: H. Studzinski
Coming on like Balthus, Studzinski plays up the Freudian symbolism of
this scene with the long leather boots, the roaring fire, and heart shaped
log stand, creating a psychosexual tension when viewed against the impenetrable
brick wall. Unlike Balthus, Studzinski left this woman's hands unfinished.
Turn over the picture and we learn her name is Diane Grabner. |
