Leftover Art

Today I'm posting ten art works that were leftover from more tightly themed sets.

We start with an unnamed piect by Pierro-Auguste Cot from 1865.

 

Cain

Julius Paulsen painted Cain in 1891.

I think he is being marked as a murderer here.

 

Godard

This academic drawing by Rene-Jules Godard is from about 1906.

 

Charon

Pierre Subleyras painted Charon Ferrying the Shades in 1738.

Talk about your rosy cheeks!

 

 

Spartacus

German artist Willi Geiger painted Spartacus in 1940, but because of his anti-Nazi politics it wasn't exhibited until after the war.  Herr Geiger was fired from his job as an art professor shortly after the Nazis took power, but he laid low, survived the war, and made a comeback in 1946.

 

Visconti

Eliseu Visconti did this drawing in 1889, and it's my favorite of the day.

Below we see his self portrait made a few years later.

Disclosure:  I removed heavy yellowing from the upper image.

 

Unknown

All I have on this one is a date, 1890.

 

Phaeton

Domenico Riccio painted Phaeton Driving the Chariot of the Sun in 1558.

 

Rixens

This academit work is by Jean-Andre Rixens.  The model here appears 

in a considerable number of drawing and paintings from around 1868 to 1875.

 

Eckersberg

All I know about our last piece of leftover art is that it is 

by Christoffer Eckersberg, an early 19th Century Danish painter.

 

Camera Man Day

Today's theme is men with cameras, and we start with the least exciting photo of the lot.

 

Equipment

Volleyball court

A volleyball court with a primitive scorekeeping dial is the setting for this one.

 

Beach II

Here's a different beach guy from a different angle.

 

Snapshot of a snapshot

Here we have an amateur snapshot of an amateur taking a snapshot.

I'd love to see the rest of the photos from this outing.

 

Happy Photographer

Ladder

The bush factor is high for this cameraman on a ladder.

 

W&B?

This looks like it might have been taken from a Wyngate and Bevins magazine.

 

Blond

Repeat

This last one is a repeat from the first weeks of this blog,

so some of you many not have seen it.

 

Underwear Day, Part 1 - Civilians

It's underwear day on the blog, and it's a two parter.  We start the civilian component of the show with two cuddly guys.  And yes, a T-shirt is considered underwear in some circumstances.

 

The morning after

"Did we do what I think we did last night?  God, were we ever drunk."

 

Hairy

I think this hairy dude is working out in his undies.

 

Posers

Mr. Scumbeast sent me this with the caption: 

 Bob and Ted prevail upon a passer-by to take photographs of their romantic tryst.

 

Come hither

Whether he knows it or not, this guy is giving us a come hither look.

 

Underwear Day Intermission - Ads

"No, no.  It's really this long.  These damn underpants just make it look small."

 

Hmmmm . . .

I wonder if there were enough guys concerned about their low hangers 

knocking into their knees to keep this company in business.

 

Underwear Day, Part 2 - Military Men

The second half of the men in underwear set features military men.  I don't know why this guy bothered to roll down his tightie whities to get more sun.  He's probably on a ship in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of other guys who are quite used to nudity.

 

Drinking buddies

I think the two clothed guys may be working at getting Mr. Middle drunk 

so they can take advantage of him.  They've already got him down to his underwear.

 

For some reason the two men in the bunks are intensely interested in the guy taking off his pants.

 

Eye contact

The guy in the door of the tent looks like he's shaking the sand out of his pants.

 

Quartet

The last underwear post of the day shows four sailors, probably here in Hawaii.

One of them seems to be in a swim suit, and they all seem quite friendly.
