exploring portraiture
Monday, 1. January 2007, 18:25:15
Håkon and Karen organized once again one of their challenging New Year's Eve parties - studies in portraiture were announced, each guest being invited to dress like one of the portraits from a long list.
It is difficult to choose my personal favourites, but the pensive girl with the grey turban as well as the mysterious orange turban lady (both by Tamara de Lempicka), Elisabeth Louise Vigee-Lebrun's selfportrait (the similitude of the mouth is astonishing!), George Gordon's portrait (by Thomas Philips) and a few others not directly based on a painting, all rank at the highest places in my list.
Later I moved shy Pia and Erik to the dancefloor, Chaals put his beard at stake and the hosts festively welcomed the new year - Happy 2007!
