Throughout the history of art, no theme has proven as prolific and popular as the nude, appearing in works from Rubens to Degas, from Jenny Saville to Ryan McGinley. The Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art will host an exhibition offering a comprehensive look at how artists from antiquity to the present day have represented and continue to represent the nude body... (C) like BOOBS and BOOBS.

mordofot, it's not just boobs.

It's not just the boobs.

I see, Herr Malakhov, and I'm thinking to myself, what if, let's say, instead of the girl with boobs, the photo showed Carlson, played by S. Mishulin, what would have changed in this work then?

mordofot, It would have changed precisely because Carlson doesn't have breasts. But Ishtar, for example, who the Phoenicians revered as a lady with horns—i.e., a symbol of the Moon (crescent)—certainly had them. And not just any ordinary ones, I think, but quite prominent and convex, since she is both the mother of the gods and Mother Nature. The tondo format itself is very appropriate here, firstly, signifying infinity, and secondly, again, being a reference to the Moon. These are the kind of allusions I see.

These are the kind of allusions I see.

Herr Malakhov, so it's the boobs that are to blame for the stirring of the brain masses and the riot of analogies...?
basically.

Basically.

mordofot, in general. When they're not filmed for their own sake.

The square and the moon have hard edges, while the circle has soft edges. This combination looks both garish and disgusting.

...not for their own sake.

The line of their usefulness in works is very thin, Herr Malakhov... I think this is a case where they hang around by inertia, in the sense of stirring up thoughts in case they are not boiling over.

There's some encryption here. The woman is against the backdrop of a waning moon. And the colors aren't the most optimistic. There's a hint... IMHO

Interesting idea:)

I'm curious: why did the author leave a strip of light below the hands? Wasn't it intentional?

Colleagues, every photo has a right to exist. If the author posted it, it means they like it and are expressing themselves. Breasts have nothing to do with it! Personally, I don't like the photo, but the author wanted to say something, and not everyone got it! Including me.
