The Contemporary Beauty Ideal


Artist Remus Grecu was asked by Ogilvy & Mather to paint the Contemporary Beauty Ideal in the manner of the old masters to show that beauty ideals have changed. Drastically. The work has been showcased in the Städel Museum next to the originals. Near the paintings hangs a plaque written by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders stating the following: Beauty Ideals change. Today celebrities, the media, and the fashion industry all promote body measurements that are unattainable with healthy eating behaviours. (via Nerdcore)[Less]
