Lucien Freud/Howard Schatz. Artists have been exploring the heavy female figure in their art for thousands of years beginning with ancient fertility goddesses. The corpulent woman has been a metaphor for prosperity, fertility, sexuality. Other artists, like Freud, have used the heavy female figure to explore the morbidity of human flesh—the ugliness just beneath. Schatz’s work suggests a third approach—an aesthetic one—of seeing beauty in the curves and waves of all that flesh, of exploring it like a landscape. #art #artoftheday #lucienfreud #contemporaryart #contemporaryphotography #fineartphotography #bigsizewomen #heavy #femalebody #interiordesign #letitallhangout https://www.instagram.com/lawrence_fine_art/p/BvwjGE_AXp-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fs3f8ovg2g34
