I’ve previously written about the great Australian illustrator and war artist, Ivor Hele.
A veteran of many bloody battles, Hele’s figure studies frequently turned out to be “death” drawings rather than life drawings.
However, when he returned home to his wife Jean, Hele drew her in all sorts of domestic situations (some are NSFW):
Putting on her stockings in the morning:
Reading a book:
Reading a book wearing nothing but shoes and socks:
Sleeping:
Hele was unambiguous about his interests:
But those interests never eroded his high standards or stopped him from excellent figure drawiung.
