Lilith and Arthur are back: Artmakessense will organize an online life drawing session inspired by the performances of Anita and Sebastian. The book Dances of Vice, Horror & Ecstasy by Berber and Droste are the daring inspiration for the poses in this session.

The Models: Arthur and Lilith ( they/them )

What a pleasure to have these art models getting in the skin of two famous people. Lilith and Arthur are creative, daring and original in their poses and themes.When we asked them who inspired them as a famous, daring art duo in the past they said : Anita Berber and Sebastian Droste. 

Arthur is a very talented photographer, his portfolio is a mix of strongly lit figurative art, intimate portraiture and the facilitation of artistic visions brought to him by models. Lilith is a fantastic art model , artist. Lilith are lovers and do great art projects together.

The inspirational artists: Anita Berber and Sebastian Droste

Sebastian Droste (1892-1927) & Anita Berber (1899-1928)

Anita Berber and Sebastian Droste were Weimar Republic cabaret performers. The content of their act seems a little silly, not unlike other cabaret acts that came before. But, whip out a dick or display a muff and you are assured of asses in seats. They managed to shock the seemingly un-shockable with their naked and kinky, but derivative stage performances. However, their real talent lay in refraction. Refracted through those with greater talent. This mismatched, headline hungry duo impacted only when caught in the orbit of an artist possessed with greater ability.
