Artnet: Beautiful Girl Lying Down by Euan Uglow, 1958-1959, oil on canvas, 23,5” x 36,5”

Euan Uglow (10 March 1932 – 31 August 2000) was an English figurative painter. […] [He] is best known as a painter of the figure, particularly of female nudes, as well as portraits, still lifes and landscapes. His ostensibly simple compositions usually consist of a single figure in a setting emptied of extraneous detail; a typical still life may feature a single piece of fruit on a plain tabletop. With a meticulous method of painting directly from life, Uglow frequently took months or years to complete a painting. Planes are articulated very precisely, edges are sharply defined, and colours are differentiated with great subtlety. (wikipedia)

✖ Via California is a place: Honey Pie still photography by Zackary Canepari

About the Honey Pie project:

Her lips are full pink. Her teal green eyes are intense and inviting. Her black eyeliner accentuates her high cheekbones and her strawberry hair complements her light African skin. Her metallic halter dress holds her supple thighs and pushes on her round breast. She is the result of careful attention and workmanship. When you see her up close, you can’t help but stare. At $6000, she’s certainly not a cheap date. For creator Matt McMullen, she’s a work of art. For everyone else, she’s a Real Doll.

California is a place also produced a video of their visit to the Real Doll factory. Read an interview with Matt McMullen over at the MONK Magazine. Visit the official website of Real Doll and learn more about those on wikipedia.

✖ Via Wikipedia: “Venus Kallipygos”

“The Callipygian Venus or Venus Kallipygos, (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη Καλλίπυγος Aphrodite Kallipygos, “Aphrodite of the Beautiful Buttocks”), is a type of nude female statue of the Hellenistic era. In an example of anasyrma, it depicts a partially-draped woman, raising her light peplos to uncover her hips and buttocks, and looking back and down over her shoulder, perhaps to evaluate them.” (read more)
