I have to pick a portrait of a woman to copy in art class. I really like the painting Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse, but my art teacher said that the background was too hard and suggested that I do something different. I’m wondering if there are perhaps portraits similar in mood. I want something that’s more about darkness and light…metaphorically and physically speaking.
What about Whistler’s painting of his mother? Also known as arrangement in Grey and Black http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistler’s_Mother
Or Picasso’s Girl facing a Mirror – two sides of her personality – light and dark, innocent girl, wordly woman shown in this pic. described at http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=78311
