Daily Aldo:
It may come as a surprise for those who know how naughty I am, ;-) but it's the very first time I drew him naked.
While
there are plenty of Photos depicting JFK shirtless or just with a bathing
short, I didn't see one Photo of Aldo Moro that isn't a model of chastity yet : Not even
a single button left open. It may sound odd, but I feel a bit like a rapist for
forcing him to show in the nude. But then, that's art for you: Merciless.
Lusty.
At least
I left him a little hanky to cover the essentials. We will go on gently.
One
would think that his anatomy can just be guessed because of the available photograph
pool I mentioned. Well,
not exactly. There is a very accurate and "scientific" drawing of his
corpse on the autopsy table.
Believe
me, I really would have preferred a nude picture of him being alive and kicking.
It's very
clear he didn't had the body of a young man anymore. Very thin legs and arms
and a bit more rounded torso. The typical shape of old Gentlemen. But the
skinny body parts, such as the extremely thin hands and fingers may also have been
a symptom of the maligner tumor that was discovered inside him at the autopsy.
