Art’s great nudes have gone skinny

Italian artist Anna Utopia Giordano has created a visual re-imagination of historic nude paintings, had the subjects conformed their bodies to what the 21st century considers an ideal of beauty. The results are revealing—and quite shocking in what they say about the modern attitude toward women’s bodies.

ACK.

Some of these paintings and many like them helped me feel not disgusting during some of the worst periods of bullying. I had (and still have, somewhere) an entire book of renaissance paintings, many nudes, that I flipped through to make myself feel more comfortable in my own skin. My mom bought it for me eons ago to help with an elementary school project on renaissance art and it became a sort of sanctuary. Incidentally, it was also that book and its paintings of nude women (and my mother’s explanations about painters depicting the human body because it’s a beautiful thing) that not only helped me realize the human body is marvelous, but that I felt attraction toward women as well. I pretty much realized I was bi as a kid, but didn’t admit it to myself or anyone else for many years. That book made me feel less weird about the whole thing because, to my mind, if painters painted nudes that were meant to be looked at and admired, then it was okay to look and feel attracted to a naked body, male or female or anything in between or otherwise.

Bless that book.
