<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9594365, member: 79705"]These types being named "Venus" with the association to the goddess and her cult are certainly an indication of what those scholars consider their purpose. And you can see their point because when you make a figure with prominent focus on reproductive and sexual organs, and not her face as an individual, or her limbs....it makes the intent pretty clear. So yes, if that is what you think of...we agree! A sculpture following standard abstraction for it's type, focusing on TnA, with no individual face and less developed limbs is pretty clear on message. You can call it "beauty of female form" and I would say that's a polite way of saying "the parts traditionally considered sexy." Nothing wrong with that. Clearly many of us got that message straight away. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not talking about sex and it's relation to what people make is considered "old fashioned" and prudish in the industries I'm in.
