Erotic, beautiful, in love with the female form with no apologies to the sex-negative crowds of the left or right. Bravo! (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

This is the studio: a curtainless bay window hung with plants, through which the southern light falls in speckled patterns (Boris doesn't depend on natural light for painting. He prefers a combination of warm and cool fluorescent lights which give him a facsimile of natural light that is unmoving, unchanging).
