Alison Lapper
Art Appreciation
British artist Alison Lapper is known for incorporating her disability in photography, digital imaging, and painting. She was born on April 7, 1965 with a medical condition called phocomelia.
An article in The Guardian, which you can read here, tells of her struggles growing up with the disability. At seven weeks old, she was sent to a children's home with other children with various impairments.
At a young age, she got involved in art. She enrolled in Heatherley School of Fine Arts, an independent art school in London, then the Faculty of Art and Architecture at the University of Brighton, where she graduated first class honors in Fine Arts in 1994.
After the birth of her son, she produced work that aimed to challenge society's preconceptions about motherhood and disability. In 2003, she won a Woman of the Year award and awarded an MBE, a British order of chivalry, for services in the arts.
In 2019, her son, Parys, died of a sudden suspected accidental drug overdose. In an interview, Lapper mentioned her son had been bullied at school over her disability which led to his mental illness.

Lidia Savoderova
Modeling Appreciation
How do I start this blog entry? *thinking* 🤔
I have a huge crush on Lidia Savoderova. Plain and simple.
I follow several professional photographers. It was when I noticed a collection of photographs by Ivan Warhammer of Lidia Savoderova when my heart stopped. I needed more of her.
The sought-after Russian model began her career in 2013. She posed for the adult website, Femjoy, early in her career.
The 5'7" model was born on April 5, 1991. And just in case you are wondering, yup, she's a natural 34D.
Back to crushing on Lidia.

Maurice de Vlaminck
French painter Maurice de Vlaminck is considered one of the principal figures in the Fauve movement. Fauvism is a style of painting using intense bold colors incorporated by a group of early 20th century artists, such as Henri Matisse and André Derain.
Born on April 4, 1876, De Vlaminck met Derain in 1900 during a train accident on their way to Paris. The two became lifelong friends.
Derain had an influence on the self-taught artist de Vlaminck. Derain introduced de Vlaminck to Matisse. After that, de Vlaminck became using intense colors and applying thick daubs.
A few years later, de Vlaminck exhibited his work with Matisse and Derain at the Salon des Indépendants and at the Salon d'Automne.
In 1942, he published a tirade against Picasso and Cubism -- supposedly, he felt resentment towards Picasso's Cubism art movement overtaking Fauvism.
