BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN.

Debatable.
What is NOT is the straight up epic-ness of these paintings. In the midst of her hippie street style obsession Your Main Girl came across these Johanne Corno paintings at Opera GalleryYour Main Girl loves the sketchy style, aggressive poses, and mostly the peace signs. Corno's style shows emotion and expression by use of thick brush strokes. 

The girls in these paintings may be 1D but YMG thinks you can learn a thing or two from them.

THE NUDIE: AN ART POST

"I'VE NEVER SEEN A PAINTING OF A NAKED WOMAN BEFORE"
"The Pale", 36" x 48", oil on canvas. 2012
Well not like this anyways. The artworks of painter Aaron Nagel, are on show at the exhibit titled Soverign, currently on display at the Lyons Wier Gallery in Chelsea. YMG thinks these paintings are pretty awesome for a number reasons; she will tell you them now. 

YMG doesn't want to state the obvious, but what is depicted here is an array of beautiful naked women. The female form has been drawn and painted and sculpted and collaged and drawn and filmed and drawn and painted throughout the history of fine art. Unlike the art you might have seen when your mom dragged you to The Metropolitan Museum of Art these are modern women. Being from this era Your Main Girl might be biased, but she thinks the female form has only been improving.
