Call for Entries. Curator to select 31 artworks. Prizes.
September 5, 2011. All visual artists are invited by BAREBRUSH founder and CEO, Ilene Skeen to submit art of the nude for the October 2011 N*des-of-the-Month calendar contest. Guest curator for the October 2011 calendar will be artist Claudia Seymour, president of the historic Salmagundi Club, the oldest art club in New York City. Ms. Seymour selected the art for Barebrush in October 2008 and recently wrote, “I'd love to do it again for you. I really enjoyed it last time.”
When asked if she would like to change her statement from 2008, Ms. Seymour said that it still works:
I think the hardest aspect is to present reality and the beauty of the human form without descending into hyper realism or caricature. A portrayal of the nude should have a certain amount of intrinsic grace yet preserve the traditional artistic requirements of value, edge, and tone. This is much easier said than done.
Ms. Skeen added:
Claudia Seymour's own work is notable for its clarity of form and its modern sense of presentation. Her work is luminous, mysterious, often with a touch of gentle humor, in a word enchanting. Claudia says that she looks and learns from all types of art. Again, I'm very pleased that Barebrush is bringing modern and traditional sensibilities together.
