THE RUBENESQUE HEDDA HOPPER
THE RUBENESQUE HEDDA HOPPER is an 8x6 signed print on heavy paper. It is related to mixed media work I did centered on a b&w cabinet card of a circus performer from the late 1800s. The 36x36 painting is still for sale on Artspan, peterjketchum.com. Shameless plug.
For this print version, the colors and background were changed and Cora became Hedda. She sits in front of a tableau of Paraguay postage stamps featuring Peter Paul Rubens’ work. Hedda is full-figured. Boteroesque. And above all, Rubenesque. #fatlady #circus #ruben #paraguay #postagestamps #freak #sideshow #fullfigured #ketchum
