Lisa C. and ad industry insider Tom Megginson sent in a set of classic paintings altered by artist Anna Utopia Giordano. Each of the paintings feature a female nude; in Giordano’s versions, the women’s bodies fit the mainstream aesthetic of today: thinner and with larger breasts. Without criticizing either body type, I’m interested in what lessons we can take from these comparisons.
Lots more at Giordano’s website.
