Demur Voyeur



Here are a few examples of paintings of peoples backside, I feel like the back is so sensual, like the nape of the neck, its a manner of having nudity, expanses of exposed skin, without exposing the model, its demure, and makes the viewer feel voyeuristic without being intrusive. Its intimate, like you might spoon with the model in your interaction with her. And because there's no facial features there's more mystery, what is she thinking is she sleepy or sad, its a great way of being figurative while remaining vague in a way.
