I love when bodies, especially womens bodies, are shown as beautiful instead of sexual

TBH I feel like this sculptor is very much a fan of the female form, in much the same way that I think whoever made this one wood carving of Saint Sebastian that's in my neighborhood art museum is likely very into men...I don't think it cheapens the art at all and it's definitely not impure or anything! I just feel the energy lol

@EARTHTOTHEDAYDREAMER Well, I agree with you. Of course, the person who made those sculptures really loves women, but there is a difference between embracing and appreciating women's bodies and sexualizing them,making it seem like their bodies are created just for sex, if that makes sense to you.

@EARTHTOTHEDAYDREAMER yes that makes sense! at first I thought you were saying these pieces were sexless and I disagree, but I do think they thread the needle very well where they clearly show a sensual appreciation without being objectifying

The weird and recent perspective that all nudity is pornographic in nature bugs me so much like.. it can represent so many different things or represent nothing at all!!

@GRAPE statues like this are so beautiful because the human form is beautiful

@GRAPE Yeah I mean I never really understood what’s so sexual about a woman’s breasts or even her hair in some places. At the end of the day, it’s just a body

@SAJA I mean as a straight guy I definitely understand the appeal but it's all about context ! However I could not tell you whether that attraction is inherent or learned through societal influence.

@GRAPE I personally think it’s something that’s taught. A woman’s hair,face and even hands are seen as very seductive or tempting to men in some regions, while in the west they’re clearly not because from a young age you grow up seeing those parts as completely normal. But that’s just my personal take maybe I’m wrong.

Human ART
To me... there is nothing more beautiful than human art! Unfortunately I think we have made enough of it and don’t need to make anymore.

"separating the art from the artist" is a privileged ass take and doesn't exist. what people create is representative of how theyve interacted with the world thus far. what the world has done to them, what others have done to them, what theyve learned from others, what theyve done to others, how theyve navigated life with what theyve been given or with what theyve taken. if you deny that the nude portraits drawn by the hand of a sexual predator are a bastardised version of reality based on his perspective and experience of violence against women then you would also deny the experience of indigenous artists in their depictions of brutality in the face of colonialism or that a single stroke in a painting created by a Black artist holds the weight of going through life in america while being black. when consuming art, media, anything created by human hands/minds you must also be conscious of the creators lived experience, wether its negative or positive, if you want to make an accurate assessment on the art itself dont live and consume in ignorance

FINISHING A MOVIE I STARTED WHEN I WAS 7
When I was seven, an 80s movie aired on TV, and I watched it until my mom turned it off at bedtime. I cried, wanting to see the rest, but she refused, and I eventually fell asleep. The next day, I couldn’t remember the movie’s name, so I never finished it—until today. It aired again, and the experience was surreal; I remembered every detail and finally saw the ending.
