Description
About the Item
George Dureau is an icon in the history of New Orleans art. He was friends with Robert Mapplethorpe, and influenced Mapplethorpe's work greatly. Dureau often drew or photographed dwarves and amputees in beautiful poses with high aesthetic quality, not for the shock value, but as a statement that beauty can take many forms. In this case, we have a more classic image of a young male. Overall the picture in its frame is 33.5" x 31.5"; the image itself inside the mat is 22.5" x 21.5". The frame is gorgeous, a sort of imitation weathered steel.
