its crazy how much art history influences things in todays society. we looked at some artists who reference things in art history. this goes to show that not much has changed in these times. i hear a lot of people complaining about how much sex is a factor in everyday life now days. truth is sex has always been around and has been depicted and flaunted. you can see this by how women are depicted in magazines, art, movies, and so on as objects of lust or just as body parts and thats it. people think its just recently started but that has been a problem for a very long time ago. this goes back as far as paintings of venus of urbino in the 1530's all the way to picasso and manet and up to now in advertisements. the women of today are are posed/ focused on just like they were then. its crazy to think that how women were depicted back then has to do with how they are portrayed now
