PYGMALION LOVES GALATEA:
GRECO-ROMAN STATUES
In “Call Me By Your Name”, Professor Perlman says of Greco-Roman sculpture:
“..Muscles are firm… not a straight body in these statues, they're all curved, sometimes impossibly curved, and so… nonchalant, hence their ageless ambiguity, as if they're daring you to desire them.”
I am an admirer of the human body of both men and women. Not for their pelvic regions, but for the curves of their bodies and admiration for their breasts, chests, backs, legs, arms, and hindquarters.
The smooth marble and bronze sculptures reminds me of the many skin tones of humanity and the perfection of God’s Design. Each piece reminds me of men and women at one with nature, free of the complications of their surroundings. How badly I see some statues and I desire to make them flesh so we could love one another. Aphrodite, hear my prayer!
And dat ass tho!
