    Key Features of the Painting:

  1. Style and Technique: Foujita utilized delicate line work and a subtle, creamy palette, which gave his nudes an almost porcelain-like quality. His backgrounds are often simple, to keep the focus on the subject.
  2. Subject: This nude portrays a Japanese woman reclining in a serene and introspective pose, displaying both a physical beauty and an emotional depth. Foujita loved depicting his models with a mixture of sensuality and vulnerability.
  3. Influence: Foujita’s art reflects the traditional Japanese art style of ukiyo-e prints, particularly through the clarity and fluidity of his lines, meanwhile he happily applie shading techniques and soft textures drawn from European traditions.

Calendar Girls Pinups is a phrase commonly associated with the beautiful style of art and photography featuring glamorous, playful, and often slightly risqué images of women. Historically popularized in the mid-20th century, they have never gone out of popular demand. These pinup images were used in calendars, posters, and other forms of mass media, blending artistic allure with accessible charm.

Calendar Pinup Girls

I recall the days when
      calendars of pinup girls
were casually displayed
      in auto repair shops,
      back offices, locker rooms
      and warehouses,
each month featured a new,
      glamorous example
      of nude or semi-nude
      American women
      in risqué poses
twelve pulchritudinous females
      a year, with sometimes a bonus.

Today, sitting in a car repair’s
      waiting “lounge,”
the ubiquitous tv is all you see
      stuck to Fox News
      spewing its misinformation
      and lies into American brains
      turning men, especially,
      into dumb-downed sheep.

I so much prefer the honesty
      of a classic pinup girl,
acknowledging my horniness
      and hopes for
      a Saturday Night Date!
