One of the things I love about his work is that he clearly loved women. With a lot of artists, you get the sense that someone might be too this or too that to be a figure in their work, but FF seemed to like 'em thick, thin, and everything in between. All his figures, men and women, had a certain sexiness about them, and humanity, too, and drama, with just enough ease with the brush that they were more than the real thing, more ardent, more identifiable and beateous.
