Modesty.

by Igor Shulman · Prague, CZ

In my long professional life I have had hundreds of contacts with women. They were professional models or ordinary women. Many of them posed for my paintings. Partially naked or naked, it doesn't matter. But not one of them refused to undress in front of the camera. My point is that the desire to show people their beautiful or not so beautiful bodies is inherent in all women. It's embedded in them somewhere. But each of them has her own idea of shame and modesty. It's true. It is quite another matter that during the photo session these ideas change or disappear at all. But not in this case. This work has never been put up for sale online. It happened. It's not about quality or topic at all. Paintings sometimes take on a life of their own. I just forgot about her for a while, and now I remember. For such pictures, I even started a special folder "Pictures from the storeroom". There are not many of them, but they are still there.
