An Italian artist named Utopia ( Anna Giordano) has modified classic paintings to recreate the women so that they conform to the societal beauty standards of the 2000’s. Some of the images in Women En Large subtly showed fat women in ways that we anticipate seeing traditional beauty. Obviously this is anything but subtle. It’s worth checking them all out.
Apart from highlighting once again the amazing possibilities of digital technologies applied to art, this job from Anna Giordano is indeed a good cue to reconsider both the subjectivity of cultural standards (in facts, ours are so different from the past ones) and the inclination of modern society and advertising companies to edit most images of feminine body in order to reach a fake perfection, corresponding to an unreachable reality. – Digital Meet Culture.
