"Tahitian Eve" by Nick N. Borrow
|
|
Legend has it that Borrow abandoned his post as a submarine sailor during WW2 to lead the wild life of a painter in Tahiti. As is usual for this type of character, he quickly idealized Tahitian women as "noble savages" and set about recording their "natural, fertile" features onto black velvet, a medieval technique. While the man and most of his oeuvre have been lost, the legend lives on in thousands of untalented imitations. Originals, when they surface, fetch hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. |
