“Art is always in search of the perfect physical form,” Giordano says on her website.
“It has evolved through history, from the classical proportions of ancient Greece to the prosperous beauty of the Renaissance, to the spindly look of models like Twiggy and the athletic look of our own time."
nayrt but the whole idea was that this artist is shopping ~classic art to demonstrate changes in beauty ideals in different time periods
i don't really love it tbh, especially since the originals objectified women just as much as modern standards do, so it's not like anything's really changed
