Which is It?
This statue is attractive with the scarf/shawl
draped around her bare breasts; however,
just down the hall were two more statues, both sans shawl/scarf.
Why was a scarf/shawl added
to the statue that was not fully clothed.
What do you think: was the added scarf/shawl
Window Dressing or Censorship?
I'm guessing censorship for the sake of modesty. Where are these statues located?
ReplyDeleteI'm with wool winder...censorship.
ReplyDeleteCurious. I grew up going to museums (a friend's dad was the curator for one) and I was simply taught that the human body is beautiful, and therefore... art. (But mine was meant to be covered and stay covered!!)
ReplyDeleteHem.
That's a little weird. I do not think it was censorship though.
ReplyDeleteOdd! The statue would be beautiful with or without the shawl but why not stick with she artist's original concept? I wonder if someone complained.
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for "cleaning" up the nudity. Interesting question.
