The Living Works of Art Challenge

[JRPerrone]

Limited Engagement

I have decided to try a limited engagement reopening of the Living Works of Art Museum.

Gentlemen, I need your contributions. For those new to this, the concept is simple. Below is the image of a classic work of art featuring a male nude. Photograph yourself in your best interpretation of the work and post it here for others to enjoy.

By popular request, I am expanding the window for entries to two weeks. The subject this round is the statue of Achilles Wounded, in Corfu, Greece by Ernst Herter.

I'll do a left heel and we can be bookends H. I'm sure we can squeeze a couple of volumes between us.

Cheers

Funny art for the gift shop. Nice.

Here is my rendition of Achilles:

Nicely posed and draped. Nice setting by the fireplace too.

Here is my rendition of Achilles:

You're setting the standard pretty high--all Achilles, no heel.

Very nice JRP. I'll try and get mine done this weekend. I sourced my equipment. Just need to build the arrow and practice my sutures for the after care.

Cheers

Love this one! My gosh, I know it's art but it's very sexy.

Here we see the hero, Achilles, sulking in his tent, left off the opening day roster and optioned to the minors. His Achilles heel? The usual: unable to handle the curveball.

Very well done! Insightful and purely American interpretation of a classic. Provoked a very big smile from me . . . .
