Olexander Wlasenko; "Nantes"



The source of inspiration for this drawing is a 1961 French film described as a "musical without music".  Anouk Aimee starred in the title role of this film entitled "Lola".  In this drawing the cabaret dancer, Lola, has a chance encounter with Roland on the streets of Nantes.  Roland and Lola share a common past, but can their bond ever be reconnected?  Having just watched an interesting documentary on Ron Galella, "Smash His Camera", another iconic image came to mind on first viewing of this piece.  Charcoal on paper.  Framed, 54" l., 27" h.  $3,100.00
