Leonardo's drawings

Leonardo's drawings.




I wonder if there were more grotesque people around in Leo's time? I have never seen anybody like the ones below.

I've wondered that too. The old timers you see are probably accurate. Little in the way of dentistry, a hard life, no retirement... They probably looked that way. That last one I wonder about, though.

That reminds me, anyone passing through San Jose in the near future may want to check out the DaVinci "500 years in the future" exhibit at The Tech.

Richard Avedon seemed to find some rather odd looking people too. Clarence Lippard for example.
