Response to My current fetish: Michel Comte

from tom meyer (twm@mindspring.com)
"one of the reasons I like him is because he is sort of tame, compared to Newton for example"

I'd say insidious as opposed to tame. Newton is honest in his delivery, his women are deliberate participants. Comte seems more subversive in delivery of an indistinct message, those women seem inspecific as to their motivation. And unmotivated as to the specifics of their condition. Lethargic and indifferent.

I have my own assumptions, as he gives us plenty with which to work. Would you comment on the environment/feeling he creates in this portfolio? What do you see happening there? What dialog transpires in your head when you're participating in Comte's art? And I don't mean "one light, cross processed, dirty matresses, bad paint, what format? How did her nipples get that color?" photographer type thoughts... I mean (as a man, or woman) what do you think those girls are up to and why? (these questions are for anyone, not just Shawn).If we are to comnsider this as art, these are some valid questions to ask... t
