lemonsharks:marlene:when-in-doubt-sing:arbitraryimposition:thebutchriarchy:Medusa with the Head of Perseus, Luciano Garbati, 2008I adore how she carries his head low, at her side, and not aloft in triumph. This is not a self-aggrandizing hero lauding her great deed. This is a woman who wanted to be left the fuck alone.Also look at her body. The double hips. The asymetrical boobs. She’s thin, but she’s realistic as hell. That’s a real woman. And the look in her eyes. Damn. I originally saw photos of Garbati’s Medusa a long time ago, but I specifically remember this post from earlier this year. Medusa was one of those pieces that really buried into my head and heart. Sounds silly, but just looking at it gives me strength.Today I was lucky enough to see it in person. She’s incredible. And, something that the original pictures don’t show— she’s HUGE!And the look in her eyes. Damn. Great art Terrible advice Do not look a Gorgon in the eyesDo not become statuated -- source link
