Madame Bijou, 72” x 48”, latex, joint compound, water soluble crayon and pencil on hardboard, 2017. I had the honor of being escorted to the most fabulous art opening reception I have ever attended on the upper East Side of Manhattan. While at the bar, trying to decide between the champagne, 4 different wines, or any of the 8 fine Cuban rums, I couldn’t help but be entranced by the heavily made-up elderly woman in the center of the gallery who was dripping with jewels, sequins, and a tall feathered headpiece, which probably added a good 12 inches to her 5 foot frame. Attempting to hide the fact that I was studying her face, I wondered what this woman was really like. Was she happily loving life and her costume-like attire was a product of her self-confidence and whimsy? Was she sad and alone, and tragically trying to relive her once bedazzling youth? I’ll never know for sure, but her image stayed with me so I eventually decided to paint her. I never found out her name, so when the finished portrait reminded me of Brassai’s 1932 photograph, Madame Bijou in the Bar de la Lune, of a heavily jeweled Parisian bar-fly with drawn in lips and smeared mascara, whose once-upon-a-time glamour had faded and torn with age, I had to name her Madame Bijou.
