Conversations About Figure Drawing and Painting

Have you ever overheard conversations between people in a gallery presentation?

"Well, I don't think there will be a return to figure drawing in the foreseeable future. I mean, look at those figurative paintings plagiarized almost from the Fauves!"

One of the things creeping in from the younger generation are about the attacks on the so-called "know-it-all gallery owners" who denounce the student's mimicking the old master's.

But, take note, that today the young artist's have embraced abstraction with more passion than their peers.

Figure drawing is here to stay and will always be part of an artists' bag of forms to inspire his and others' creativity.
