Iggy Pop’s Nude Drawings Compared To Michelangelo’s David

Nude drawings of Iggy Pop that the musician recently posed for as part of a new art display have been compared to Michelangelo’s David. “Even models who have been doing life drawing for years don’t quite know how to pose to best express themselves,” said Guno Park, one of the artists. “But Iggy was so natural and comfortable.

Nude drawings of Iggy Pop that the musician recently posed for as part of a new art display have been compared to Michelangelo’s David. “Even models who have been doing life drawing for years don’t quite know how to pose to best express themselves,” said Guno Park, one of the artists. “But Iggy was so natural and comfortable. He would naturally go towards the contrapostal pose of Michelangelo’s David.” Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller said of Pop: “He plays his body. The way he manipulates it, damages it, bends it and flaunts it has become his way of communicating. His body interprets the music but it’s also playing its own tune. There are hundreds of thousands of photographs of him, but very few drawings. I thought his body deserves to be looked at differently, to be taken more seriously, in a way that would connect him to art history.” The drawings are going on display at the Brooklyn museum in New York from November 4 until March 2017, all of which depict Pop naked.
