Danielle Orchard explores the representation of the female form in a multi-perspectival manner. Her figures resist existing solely as psychological portraits or objects for the gaze, instead they emerge through a complex orchestration of color, line, and space. While the concept of the female nude is deeply ingrained in art history as a muse and has more recently been established as a subject of study, Orchard adds depth by infusing her own experiences, having trained, posed, and even taught in life drawing classes. In this episode, she talks about painter Milton Avery. In The Love of Art podcast, artists are invited to speak about other artists that fascinate them (musicians, writers, filmmakers, actors, designers…) in a very personal way.
