25 Hyper-Realistic Oil Paintings by Hubert de Lartigue - Luscious Lips and Tongue

He believes it is no longer sufficient to paint women's bodies as they were painted in the 19th century. Yet his aim is to produce work in a timeless style. He uses little or no clothing, makeup, or draped fabric. As for the nude itself, it may be very sensual or very chaste. He moves deliciously between the two, thanks to the complicity he shares with his models, whom he cannot thank enough for their generosity. His precise and delicate rendering combines the French pinup aesthetic of Brénot and Aslan with the American aesthetic of Vargas, Petty, and Elvgren. At the end of the millennium, Hubert de Lartigue is among the very best of the few artists who have followed in the footsteps of the great mid-century pinup artists. He continues the quest for perfect beauty. His French pinups are the embodiment of our fondest fantasies. We hope you will like his oil paintings.
