The Vitruvian Women

We all depict and see the female body differently. Some may see beauty while others see flaws. Some may see delicate while others see a bit rough around the edges, and some may see thin while others see fat. The female body is a central point of contention throughout history and worldwide. The Vitruvian Woman is a group of art works that demonstrates a variety of historical and cultural perspectives about the female body through the eyes of many different artists, both male and female. The works represent a range from classical subjects to raw, contemporary depictions. Overall, this group of artworks suggests a variety of themes. The works greatly vary in color, scale, tonality, relations to the delicate, and also aspects of movement and placement of the figure. Today, we recall the ideal Renaissance body depicted through the contrapposto of a man, such as Michelangelo's David, or Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man, yet there is no such thing as an ideal body...unless the viewer makes it so. I believe that every woman possesses an ideal body in some way or form. These images hope to re-train the brain to understand that the imperfect could actually be perfect.
