Chris Grieb Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Really very well done! It would be interest to see a complete list of artists and paintings. Edited May 31, 2007 by Chris Grieb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfly Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Fascinating. But I think I'd love any video when they play the Sarabande from Bach's first suite for cello. Divine music! I like the interpretation too, I wonder who the cellist is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Branden Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I was fascinated by this video. What makes it so arresting is its depiction -- whether deliberate or not -- of the changing views of women from one period to the next. We see woman-as-innocent-flower-child; woman as seductive temptress; woman as meek and helpless inferior, with melting, downcast eyes; woman as chaste, religious figure; woman as frail, too delicate to be touched; woman as powerful, a scheming ruler of men; and, --occasionally -woman as clear-eyed, bold, and courageous.

ebelisha Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I think "women as" is the operative phrase. Do we think of women as something other than "people"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Branden Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I think "women as" is the operative phrase. Do we think of women as something other than "people"?The rumor is that there are some people who think exactly that -- such as almost everyone for most of human history, and a shocking number of people even today.Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your "some" would have to include the overwhelming majority in centuries prior to the latter half of the 20th century, worldwide, plus the overwhelming majority in many countries in the world to this day.Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have known, as I have on CD Bach's complete solo suites for cello played by Yo Yo Ma, but I've been too lazy to compare the recordings.

Selene Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Stephen:Stunning picture. I want to enlarge it and get a better look at it.In the Kori Youtube original post, all of the women are Caucasian and "ninety-nine" percent (99%) of the images have slender noses.I wonder if that overwhelming physical pattern is a key western subconscious pre-requisite for judging the "beauty" of the female face...Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
