MERMAIDS

Mermaids have been the chosen subjects of artists as diverse as Munch, Waterhouse, Beardsley, Pyle, Rubens, and Bosch.
Even Magritte could not resist a version of the mermaid--though he switched ends placing a fish's head on a woman's body.
Writers, too, have yielded to the call of the sirens. Shakespeare mentioned mermaids and sirens repeatedly in his work, while Yeats, Eliot, Wilde, Barry, and Baum welcomed them into their own colorful poems and tales.

Following in this imaginative and whimsical tradition are the mermaids of David Delamare.
