Soudan Man - Inspired by a sculpture by Cordier from The Museum D’Orsay

                                               “THE MYTHS of MAN”
                      Who are we? Who came before us to make us who we are?

    Artist Larry Aarons has created a series of emotional one of a kind pastels portraits that        bring to life in his personal way - the famous - the historic and the relevant faces of
    The Myths of Man.

    Through research and location searches from the crescent and cradle of civilizations
    his elegantly framed portrait series uses the chiaroscuro method of lighting which
    adds warmth and life like detail to the names and images that are imbedded in our 
    memory.

    These Roman, Greek and African mythological images; Zeus, Cleopatra, Apollo,
    Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Olympic Heroes among others are true classics
    he's brought to life.
