' Cupid and Psyche '
Jacques-Louis David
(1817)
Jacques-Louis David
(1817)
The choice of narrative moment—a libertine adolescent Cupid departs Psyche's bed with "malign joy"—was a new twist on the well-worn subject

' David with the Head of Goliath '
Andrea Vaccaro (Italian, Naples 1600 - 1670)
circa 1635
Italian painter. He belonged to a large and important family of Neapolitan painters and was one of many artists influenced by the dramatic light effects of the Caravaggisti, followers of Caravaggio. He first studied literature but at an early age turned to painting. He was probably a pupil of the late-Mannerist painter Gerolamo Imparato, though there are no known works from this period. About 1620 he became a follower of Caravaggio; he copied Caravaggio's Flagellation (Naples, Capodimonte), and his copy and the original hung in S Domenico Maggiore, Naples (copy in situ). David with the Head of Goliath (Florence, Fondazione Longhi) and Sebastian (Naples, Capodimonte) are early works indebted to Caravaggio's naturalism and chiaroscuro. After 1630 Vaccaro drew inspiration from Guido Reni, Anthony van Dyck and Pietro Novelli and made copies of their works for Neapolitan collectors and dealers such as Gaspar Roomer and Jan Vandeneyden. Abraham and the Angels (private collection) dates from this period; Reni's images of saints are the forerunners of his St Rosalia (mid-1630s; Madrid, Prado) and Penitent Magdalene (1636; Naples, Certosa di S Martino, chapel of St Martin).

Known for his figures with distorted forms and provocative nudes, Austrian painter Egon Schiele became one of the leading artists in Vienna during the early 20th century, greatly influenced by Secessionism and Austrian painter Gustav Klimt’s creations. He even lived for a short time in the southern Bohemian town of Český Krumlov, where he caused much commotion.

Clive Barker
Clive has always sought artistic expression across diverse media and has been exploring still camera photography of male nudes for more than thirty five years. He has previously had examples of his photography exhibited in galleries in the US and Europe, included within limited editions of his novels (and those of others) and within the pages of books such as Male Nude Now, edited by David Leddick.
His latest photography project focuses on the human form expressing the human imagination. Employing his painting studio as a creative ground in which his subjects can explore imaginative themes and archetypes, these images can provoke shock, allure and wonder.
