There are also many who have red hair, but they are old or perhaps fat
or age has carved out the scull trough their skin
Or they might be young, but their looks are not
the romantic ideal of a slim curvy figure and an outstanding facial beauty with long curly hair.
Not many artists aimed their brush at this group of women!
But the paintings are not less appealing or lack importance.
I would say they are perhaps even more interesting!
It is my opinion that character is more attractive than beauty!
When I look at Otto Dix' portraits where he always pulls forward the least appealing in each person,
he also at the same time manage to focus on what is the models vulnerability.
After looking at tons of beauties
It is so good when finally a person in a picture expresses
Yes this is what there is.... You see me...?
