Women in Art

Here is a cool YouTube movie of women in Western art.



Here is the official Saudi version.

    That video was sure a visual treat! It was kind of spooky, though; all that morphing made it look like the picture was alive and moving.

    It's interesting how similar the faces of those earlier pictures look. I guess the image of the "ideal woman" was more or less a standard back then. It also made a strong contrast with the more modern works.

    That Saudi picture...Leilouta, you still haven't lost your edge. :-) It's odd, too, considering the Q'uran only specifically mentions that a woman should cover her genitals and breasts. There's nothing about going out wearing a sack over your body, at least not that I've seen so far. I guess it's all a matter of interpretation...and which of the Haddiths you choose to follow.

    I didn't notice that much difference in the women from the earliest to the most recent, actually. Except that the old guys could paint a lot better than the newer artists :O

    Wow! That was clever. Someone spent hours and hours on that video.

    A lot of the earlier women were idealized Italians that's why they looked the same.

    Oh cool! A friend of mine sent me that video last weekend!

    It is fantastic. So many of the faces are similar. I couldn't stop looking at their eyes, which coincidentally is the only thing visible on the Muslim woman...

    Well thats Saudi Culture. But that seems a bit biased L. You said Western Women, the proper thing would have been to show the evolution of Eastern women.
