In Sexy Sweet Clarice, the Nana is plural, protean, almost divine. She appears alternately in a bathing suit, a dress, a goddess, or transformed into a tree - like so many possible metamorphoses of the feminine. Around her, a dragon invades the composition, a figure of latent menace: “Don't let the dragon eatyou up”. The warning is clear: survive, resist, don't let yourself be devoured.
This work pays homage to Clarice Price Rivers, a close friend of the artist and one of the first inspirers of the Nanas. The first figures in the series bore first names: Elisabeth, Bénédicte, Gwendoline... real, beloved, admired women. In her words:
“As you were, Clarice, the original NANA, you can now consider yourself the model of the GREAT DEESS.”
Autumn 1966 “Lettre À Clarice”.
