female figure drawings & paintings by Tom Conway

The female nude has always been a favoured subject of artists, and art lovers alike, and some examples of my paintings are shown here. Influences include classic pinup girl images by Alberto Vargas, photographs of women including the famous red velvet photo’s of Marilyn Monroe by Tom kelley, and others by Man Ray, Helmut Newton, and the black and white photography by Leonard Nimoy among others. (yes Mister Spock from Star Trek is a photographer!)

	pinup art by Alberto Vargas


	Vargas images would often portray elegantly dressed, semi-nude to nude women of idealized proportions. Vargas' artistic trait would be slender fingers and toes, with nails often painted red. Vargas girls became world renowned when published by Playboy magazine in the 1960’s. ref wikipedia

		posters of vintage pinup girls and glamour photography

My paintings typically focus on the artistic beauty and characteristics of the nude female, such as a sensual, sensitive or flirtatious nature. Some models are shown with fashion accessories such as hats , stiletto shoes, and lingerie. I hope you enjoy them.


	Girl before a mirror by Picasso.




		This painting shows two nude girls lying down. Whilst the female figures are painted in an impressionist style, the almost surreal background, and unusual positioning makes this an unsual piece of work.

‘Showgirl’ , by Tom Conway


	Contrasting examples of artworks on this page include ‘Girl before a mirror’, showing Picasso’s mistress, and Alberto Vargas’ classic pinup girls. ‘Olympia’ by Edouard Manet, was a highly controversial painting at the time it was exhibited.

Definition: nude (art) The nude has become an enduring genre of representational art, especially painting, sculpture and photography. It depicts people without clothes, usually with stylistic and staging conventions that distinguish the artistic elements (such as innocence, or similar theatrical/artistic elements) of being nude with the more provocative state of being naked. source:wikipedia

	In contrast to the pinup art style of the lady in red high heels, this painting uses body language to add an emotional dimension to the semi nude model.

Olympia by Edouard Manet .

Olympia by Manet, was controversial and shocked contemporary viewers not merely because of possible elements of adult erotica, rather because suggestions within the painting that the nude figure was a coutesan , (or mistress.)
