VB Previz #4 – Birth of Venus

Classic paintings. Oh yes. You know they’re coming. A dozen Venuses… probably! The Bougueureau has so much to say about gender, identity and more.

Actually, the Victorine Meurent / Edouard Manet painting that I think makes most sense is Luncheon… but Bougureau Venus vs Olympia is such a study in gender/objectification/gaze… and the SL perennial… Romanticism vs Realism…
