New Project: “Hello Tiger!🐯” An artistic collaboration of ki club.cool teachers, martial- and visual artists @theresezoekende and @patrick.hattrick
“Hello Tiger!🐯 is the first art work of a series of Digital Tiger Drawings highly inspired by the fabulous 18th century Japanese art of tiger drawing.
“Hello Tiger!🐯” is inspired by the painting “Tiger Cleaning its Paw” of Matsui Keichū (1785-1819), ink and color on paper, 133.5 x 58.4 cm, Minneapolis Institute of Art.
“Tiger Cleaning Its Paw”
is a mesmerizing artwork that depicts a majestic tiger in its natural habitat, meticulously grooming its paw. The tiger is depicted in a state of repose, with its paw held up to its face as it carefully licks and cleans each individual claw.
✿
Samurai warriors
in the Medieval and Modern period loved art that depicted tigers. Tigers, for them, was a symbol of strength, which they highly valued.
✿
Shotokan karate clubs
honor the tiger symbol. The Shotokan tiger first appeared on a book that Gichin Funakoshi -the founder of Shotokan karate- wrote back in 1922. The artist Hoan Kusugi and karate student of Funakoshi enticed Funakoshi, to write a book about Karate, Hoan Kosugi told Funakoshi that if he would write the book, Kosugi would design it and provide a painting for the cover. So, when Gichin Funakoshi produced the book, Hoan Kosugi produced the now famous Shotokan tiger.
His idea for the tiger came from the expression “Tora no maki.” Tora no maki, in Japanese tradition, is the official written document of an art or system, which is used as the definitive reference source for that particular art. Since no books had ever been written about Karate, Hoan Kosugi told Funakoshi that his book was the “tora no maki” of Karate, and since “tora” also means “tiger”, he designed the tiger as a representation of Funakoshi’s art. 👍

Mezzetino was a comedy character, based on Harlequin. Introvert and with a melancholy air, he tunes his guitar, knowing that his serenading will mean nothing to the lovers and serve only to heighten his own sense of longing as he gazes upon them.

Here you see another work from my sketchboard.
In the meantime I am still working on the fascinating La Fête Galante series.
In this post I focus on the dance, one of the staples of this genre.

🪩

The painter Nicolas Lancret painted a very beautiful painting around 1730 entitled La Camargo Dancing. Nicolas Lancret was one of Antoine Watteau’s most talented followers and helped to disseminate the taste for fête-galante subjects in the eighteenth century.
🕺🏻💃
Lancret, like Watteau, was often inspired by the stage, and the female dancer depicted here is Marie-Anne de Cupis de Camargo, a ballet star of the Paris Opéra. La Camargo is dressed in a white gown embroidered with flowers, suggesting a pastoral opera. She is gracefully poised and her partner’s gestures subtly mirror her movements. Camargo, who was immensely talented, expanded the repertoire of eighteenth-century ballet with new steps that encouraged active footwork. To facilitate her movements, she shortened her skirts and may have been one of the first dancers to wear ballet slippers.
