Nude Men
Today starts the exhibition "Nude Men" at the Leopold Museum. The show offers an overview of the depiction of male nudes from 1800 to the present. One of the posters showing the photograph "Vive la France" by French artists Pierre & Gilles that has been placarded in the streets, has quickly proved controversial. After a spate of complaints the museum has now decided to cover the "intimate parts" of the football players. Although I was lucky enough to take a picture of the original version of the poster, I´m showing you here only a moderated version to avoid any problems... Please click here for the original verison of Pierre & Gilles´ artwork.
And you did not get a comment! What is wrong with our viewing public!!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that's a lot of balls but then I thought better.
ReplyDeleteApparently it takes at least three to pose for a citywide poster!
ReplyDeleteThe Puritanical mindset is alive and well the world over. Pretty unbelievable. Thanks for the original poster. I'm going to put it on my screensaver.
