He’s a brilliant artist.  A longtime favorite.  He has a gallery on POL.  Just great.

This thread has shown us the many ways artists represent the human face.  Here's another.  Patrick Nagel, an illustrator from the 80s...you may recall his work. This is my favorite... He used acrylic on canvas.

One of the more interesting threads in my view… which is why I’ve contributed to it! This last selection is quite different but so good!

A portrait of elegance - by the Russian-French artist Erte, often described as the father of Art Deco.

I like the Erte picture very much.  Great style.  But the thought occurs…if we take the size of her head and apply the normal human proportions, she’d be about 15 feet tall.  We all  know that, but our minds absorb that and willingly accept it as a beautiful stylish image.  I guess this happens a lot in art.

No artist name. Could be AI? What do you think? It’s easy for AI to do a mere face in the style of an artist.  But it can’t take things from the ether and appeal to a looker whose trait is thinking outside the box. Guess that’s coming though… tricking us that’s it’s now self aware. .   If the picture is not AI, I love it.  If it is AI, then I challenge you to a discussion (Mr AI),‘ a discussion’ about nothing in particular, something that programmers can’t teach you, except how sh.t  Noel’s House Party used to be and what was the point of it? He was  a  hairy Ant and Dec, Noel,  but not a hairy ant, savvy?
