Question: What do you think of the Gustave Courbet painting "L'Origine du Monde"!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Its totally like Gustave to paint nudity and combine sexuallity no doubt but I for one find it hard to look at, I don't see a story and I feel uncomfortable seeing a vagina at such an angle!.
I don't think he wanted us to look at it as idealized beauty of a womens body
I mean its realism
its blunt
its the truth
but the eroticism is a bit too much
its controversial and hard to interpretWww@QuestionHome@Com
