RE: Nudity in Art

in #nudity7 years ago

I find it interesting that the ideal male body has not changed much over the centuries. Always muscular, tall, lean---of course it varies from culture to culture. Though during Middle Age Europe, a plump man was seen as sign of status. Now... we're back to the Greek God body goals lol.

I have noticed this as well. Status and wealth is the draw of many but the body of a worker is the ideal form in art. It is something to think about.

Also, the female body is another interesting topic altogether. The ideal female body has changed drastically throughout ancient Greek Art. Not to mention that ideal body shapes were quick to change in the last century. Hmmm.
