Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Marge goes on a crusade against porn but then is confronted by the hypocrisy of her zeal when Michelangelo's David fit's the same definition.

I remember a kindergarden teachers comment about field trips to the museum - the tykes will oggle the appendages of a Venus or David for a few seconds then move on to the far more interesting dinosaur exhibit.

I don't believe our sexual orientation dictates our likeness towards forms, there are many male forms that males find appealing as well, in the creation of role models of physique especially.

I would disagree on pulling in classical art into this, what you are talking about is the classical view of the perfected man. The best example is Michelangelo's own statue of David. If you look at that piece you will find that it's entirely manipulated to create an appealing form. The head, arms and hands are enlarged, the physique is manipulated as well as the genitalia itself, the entire body follows golden ratio principles. It's basically a facade of reality.

Furthermore my response was mostly to do with adressing Pinky's question of why we don't see men exploited in this way. We do in the chip n' dale dancers but you will find their standards of form are more restrictive then say female strip clubs. Because as I said the base male form is not as appealing as the female form.

Farhad - sorry, but I disagree. Your and my sexual attraction to the female shape informs our conception of beauty. Michelangelo would also heartily disagree with you on the male form.
>> ^Farhad2000:
The reason we don't have men with sliver ding dongs attached to their penises dancing around is because the male body is ugly.
The female body on the other hand looks like it was designed by Italians, all curves and smooth lines. While the male body looks like it was stamp pressed in some oppressive Eastern European nation trying desperately to join the EU.

Yeah, well, Michelangelo liked weiners.


That's my point. His concept of beauty was formed by his sexuality - and reflected in his artwork. Though admittedly - You don't have to be gay to think David is beautiful.

This makes me realise that I really am curious about the statue. The video hints that the statue revolutionised the art form, and that leaves me wondering, what do they mean by that? What did michaelangelo do that was SO different with this statue? What did he figure out?
Hmmm....


Before Michelangelo, David is usually depicted after his battle with Goliath, usually standing on the beast's severed head. Michelangelo depicts David not in victory, but at a moment prefiguring that victory: in the instant between conscious choice and conscious action, the moment when an individual makes a choice--and commits to act on that choice. Michelangelo sculpted David not as a triumphant victor, but as a thinking, resolute being -- the preconditions for victory.

In reply to this comment by Chaucer:
I saw this in the Louvre. Very nice sculpture.

I assure you that the David is in Florence, not Paris. You most certainly did not see this statue in the Louvre.

This is Most Definitely SFW and any worker that tells you otherwise has such reduced mental capacities that they shouldn't be operating a computer anyway (or leaving the asylum for that matter). Michelangelo's David is an amazing and inspiring work of art that needs to be beheld in person to appreciate the grandeur and scale of its accomplishment. Upvote.

I remember reading that the model for David was his Michelangelo's partner and lover.

Rofl @ "woowoo"

Yeah. To say that this is inappropriate would be like saying that Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel or Botticelli's The Birth of Venus is inappropriate.

Yeah, I blogged it, but that's because I wasn't sure if it was acceptable by the community standards. I find it humorous.

Gentlemen, please: there is more to "art" than Michelangelo and Picasso. This may not be very refined or sophisticated, but it is an original and (in my opinion) pretty cool idea.

And as Eklek mentioned, if you haven't yet watched American Beauty, it contains a very beautiful example of plastic bag art. As well as just being one of my most favourite movies of all time.

Yay, let's dilute art with advertising! Great idea!

The Mona Lisa would look great with a pair of "LensCrafter"TM glasses! Michelangelo's David would be much less offensive with an "UnderArmor"TM jockstrap! Rosebud would glide faster with "Super Galaxo MegaSpeed"TM wax! Lawrence of Arabia only drinks from "UltraAqua Rain"TM canteens, and Michael Corleone endorses "Smith & Wesson"TM, brought to you by "Big Boom Super-Cool Awesome Ammo!"R!

Pay me, or I'll ruin your art....

No thanks, I'd rather pay the artist directly for their work than let advertisers into the loop.

I've too often experienced those 3D, full-motion, 20-second NASCAR "bugs" on top of my Shakespeare, David Lean, Mozart, Antonioni, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet experiences...it's always jarring, and never pleasant.

The presenter answers questions from the audience very poorly as well, saying that people will put up with obnoxious ads only to a point, but has no suggestions as to how to contradict this inherent flaw.

'Let's put ads in, see what peoples' thresholds are, and standardize around that.'

'The intrusive bug / advertisement is implanted deep within your consciousness, which is exactly where the advertiser wants it! Yes!' (he actually exalts in this)

Digital distribution of art is a great thing. Subsidizing it through advertising, and thus adulterating it, is not.
