Louise Brooks - 26-10-14 This is the oil version of the prestudy in pastel of Louise Brooks, silent movies actress and flapper girl from the 1920s - 1930s. I liked her eyebrows on different Heights and the ambivalent look in general. These features called for my style of cubism. Oil on linen (60 x 80 x 1 cm) Artist: Corné Akkers
1969, born in Nijmegen. My work can be seen in many countries all over the world. I employ a variety of styles that all have one thing in common: the ever search for the light on phenomena and all the shadows and light planes they block in. My favorites in doing so are oil paint, dry pastel and graphite pencil. It is not the form or the theme that counts but the way planes of certain tonal quality vary and block in the lights.
