Red hair in Paintings: A choice of different red haired women

Glauco Cambon

Hello again dear followers and drifters. Hope you are all healthy and in good spirits.

We start out with an Italian artist I never ever heard about : Glauco Cambon

Born in Trieste 1875 and died 1930 in Biella. He is not to be mixed up with an american Art professor by the same name who died 1985.Some times you can find pictures of his sold at the Italian auctionsite Stadionaste.It

This homepage also shows hundreds of other Italian artists and is a good place to find unknown pictures or forgotten artists

Theodor van Rysselberghe
Portrait of Miss Gertrude

This artist whom I showed many times is just outstanding ! He manages to add everything to a portrait, light atmosphere, feelings, color harmonies,movement, color variation and temperature and color perspective, psychological valuation of sitter You name it, Van Rysselberghe made symphonies where others just wrote plain songs . Compare with the picture below
and see the quality difference between the two similar motifs who both show half dressed women with similar expressions .

Lilacs

Sometimes one can make the hands smaller to give an impression of innocence
but this is extreme. Here one hand is small and the other normal in size ,
it looks really idiotic. The head gets huge with so small a hand !

Pablo Picasso

Picasso decided to exaggerate the size of the hands and made them huge!
And he tipped the hair so it fit into the frame.
A very funny picture!
