Biography
John Kacere was an American artist born in 1920. His style of art focuses on photorealistic faceless portraits of idealized midsections of the female body, clothed in revealing lingerie.
His depictions of the female body are highly sexualized and alluring as they portray the romanticized slender figure of the woman. He began painting from photographs in 1963 and painted his first photorealist painting in 1969 involving the midsection of a woman dressed in lingerie.
It was often over three times it's life-size. Kacere explained his work as the celebration of the female form and used precise oil painting techniques for his large-scale depictions.
