"Send Nudes"
This piece was created in an attempt to draw attention to the way that the female body is traditionally represented in art. I picked examples throughout art history and lumped them all together, erasing their faces (all except one) to emphasize their objectification. The one face that I left belongs to a Manet painting, The Luncheon on the Grass, where two men are depicted reclining in the park with two naked prostitutes. The direct gaze of the nude female in the foreground is seen by many to be a challenge, so I chose her to be my crowning jewel.
