This Kelly self-portrait is from 1952, which so happens is my favorite year of Kelly. Oh he's had many a great year. But for me, 1952 was a year of perfect Kelly--art, characterization and story.
Coming up in my next post will be one of my very top favorite Kelly drawings, that just so happens to be from . . . wait for it . . . 1952.
My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
Don't stop! I love Kelly and I love your selections.
