Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Sorry, but I find this disturbing.


Maybe that's what the picture taker wanted. It's still wrong imho!

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

you right, she hasn't raised her children well.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

She doesn't look like she was raised very well either, that's a distressed look on her face as well.

Roman, Greek children wouldn't have this kind of reaction and neither would their parents

They also raped and killed the young without penalty in most cases, not a good example.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

I'm afraid if I'd gone in expecting to see "paintings" and ran into this, there would have been hell to pay.

Nice sculpture, Serge. I'm afraid not a lot of Americans even know what a Satyr is anymore. :(

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

..and didn't teach their youngs about the blow jobs in the local Oval Offices.

Bad, bad Romans!

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

I do!

I was just commenting to my husband and sister that we should get something like that sculpture for the front lawn. Appearently I am alone in thinking this. :hmm:

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Ahh, you've gone all American on me there, that's when I stop giving a shit. ;)

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Please elaborate....here you are, with 2 kids in the museum and run into this painting.

Now...please describe in the greta details your definition of "hell to pay"

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

you are not...after Al Goldstein declared bancrupcy,
I was seeking him to buy his famous finger statue for my lawn
:)

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

We should be neighbors!! The block parties would be awesome!!

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

I doubt very much you wanna be my neighbor...the last time we went to Xmass midnight Mass we were wearing nothing, not even the fig leaves and realised that in the middle of the block.

We never attempted to go to Mass again
:)

My bastard kids would probably giggle and then one would explain to my wife

"Thats sorta what I saw Dad doing with the nanny....."

;-))))

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

In all seriousness...

the kids are obviously shocked.In order to be shocked they need to have some knowledge of the content.

Why is their knowledge limited?
And why is what knowledge they have leading them to feel shocked.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Hell, my knowledge is limited too. I'm not even sure what it is. The tonguing part I can figure out, but is that something protruding from an ass?

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

LOL

I must say I'd have checked out the art gallery prior to bringing the kids

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Might have been a good idea. ;)

In all seriousness, I have never been to an art museum. I live in Nowhereville. But I would hope that exhibits like that aren't in the general section.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

forgive me for being rational, but what evidence is there in the pic, that they are reacting to the painting in the background?

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

:o

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!

damn does that dude fucking the goat look like brandon or what ?

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

exactly!

I say they just heard the news on the radio about the hurricanes...

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

oh yes they are...

Saturn devourishing his children
http://www.spanisharts.com/prado/goya/saturno.htm
this one would put the fear of God and parents in the little buggers more than some cock sticking out of the ass.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

I like that one of Saturn

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

me too...I wish I did the same with my children
:)

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Oh, come on. We have "Family Guy".

;-) ;-) ;-) <- Note winks

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

They are in the general section? Did I understand you right?

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Yes, they are....but, it's a very small Museum in Madrid called Prado and the painter is only known to a few geeks,
his name is Goya.

Here is another paiting in that museum,
http://www.spanisharts.com/prado/rubens/gracias.htm
from barely known artist Rubens

Selena, stay away from museums and especialy shield children from them.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Actually, I see a big difference in the work of the "little known" Rubens and a painting showing a sexual act being in a general area of a museum. That's me.

Oh, and even in Nowheresville we've heard of Goya. They reproduce his works on the side of their 4 x 4's that they go muddin' in.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

exactly,
I always told my children that no sexual act was involved in their birth. I also told them that their mother was a virgin and this is what I expected from them forever.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

another one from general area in Naples Archeological Museum.

Lots of Italian males claim to be the decendants of this guy.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

If that were thrue, then that would have been your choice, wouldn't it? I'm all about parents having choices. Which is why I didn't think the original pic posted here made the woman (who we assume to be the mother) look bad. If the scenario is that they unwittingly came across the painting of a tongued pussy in a general museum, then the choice was removed for her.

If she chose to take them to an exhibit of sexually explict art, then perhaps the children were expressing awe at the size of the dildo or whatever it is crammed up the ass.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

I am pro-choice big time and I beleive it's parents choice to keep their children ignorant and the Smallville Board of Education pronounce Romeo and Juliet as pornography.

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Some great pics .. :okthumb:

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

just FYI, there's no "general" and "adult" section in a Museum.... it's not a Blockbuster...

That first painting is crap, not because it's shocking, but simply because it's not very good (personal opinion). Compare it to the others Serge posted, and there's a world of difference...

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

Re: Serge's POTD 9/27/05 Expose yourself to art!
 

OK...first of all, several things need to be assumed:
One...I'm taking children of that age.
Two...I've checked out the museum ahead of time, received a catalogue, and in general satisfied myself that the paintings are such that we can stand in front of them and either appreciate the art or begin a dialogue.
Note: I did not censor my children's exposure to the world. My kids (and hence every one of their friends) all got honest answers to honest questions.) The middle school art department was given a budget that covered pencils. The teacher spent all summer cutting paintings out of magazines and buying postcards so she'd have something to teach with. On my kid's birthdays, I continued a tradition started in elementary school, which is on their birthday, they gave a book to the library. My youngest gave her art teacher a massive art book - the only damned one the teacher had. We went through it, nudes and all.
Three...what does "hell to pay" mean? With me, yelling. I'm not the censorship type. I take responsibility for what I do. *I* brought my kids there. I doubt any of us would have collapsed in shock in front of that painting. We would have discussed it, how art is subjective, and how acts that might be perfectly natural and quite fun look pretty stupid when they're frozen in time like that. I wouldn't sue; I wouldn't picket; I'd probably just use a lot of rough talk at the curator while my children muttered "oh, for heaven's sake, Mom!"

Now, if I was taking these same children when they were older...I'd be the one standing off to the side muttering "I do NOT know these people" as they critiqued the painting and made better suggestions in voices that rang off the museum walls.
