A pair of Gorillas

#animals


Prompt:  Patchwork by Hannach Hoch One of the most famous line drawings, drawn in his early 20s. When Picasso was 32. It's a drawing of a man (or possibly a couple of men) being wrestled by a pair of giant gorillas. It was drawn in 1950, a couple of years after the biggest known group of gorillas was captured by the Congo Congo Congo wars, and put into a zoo, they were put on display, and you can see how they are bound, all weight-matched, and the gorillas are attempting to break free. Note the very human-looking gorilla, all the fur, the paint on his fur, the details, including the orange face paint and blue.   Try it
