I saw this in person recently and it was much more disturbing up close. It sort of mesmerizes you as your mind bounces back and forth between "it's a face, no it's a body, etc."
Apparently the painting stirred up quite a controversary if I remember it correctly.

It's not boring. I mean, it's okay looking. If the artist is trying to share some deeper meaning or vision I ain't getting it.

The artist on his work: "My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and, indeed, when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."
I thought as much.

its interesting but i can't decide if i like it or not
it makes a good av though i like av's that are different and stand out
i think its interesting in that it appears blatant at first but its actually quite subtle in what its trying to say i think

When I was in LA we went to the LACMA (LA County Museum of Art) and started this game sorta. One of us would cover the others eyes and lead them to a painting or sculpture. When they uncovered your eyes, you had to say the first thing that came into your head when you looked at the painting. It was really fun. Hmmm...that could be a thread.
The first thing I thought of when I saw your AV was Danny Bonaducci. *shrug*

i've decided what it means 
i think the painting is rather ugly to look at ... its a painting of a woman without a head
i think its saying that women without a head ... without brains ... without thinking and thought aren't as attractive as women who use their heads
i think it diffinately has strong feminist qualitys ... and i do like the painting ... its a great av lavender you have wonderful taste

Another picture
If a newbie can point another way?
In the famous picture of Eve being given the Apple by Satan painted by Michaelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, what, exactly, was she doing before the serpent distracted her?

Personally, it isn't on of my favorites... When I see a naked woman, I like to see sexy, and this is not sexy because you don't get any facial express. All it is is the hips-chest of a woman, doing nothing, but wearing a wig. :/ And I don't like the color brown, too much brown. My opinion...

sexy-girl, although I appreciate your take on the painting, I have to throw my two cents in.
I think the painting is about reducing women to the sum of their sexual parts. That seems painfully obvious to me.
I'm not sure I appreciate a man painting this. That in itself makes me wonder what side of the coin he was on, the reality or the awareness.
Did he ask raise the question because he needed to know the answer, or because he wanted his audience to be aware of that point of view?
On a more personal level, I find the painting to be extremely erotic, and not disturbing at all. That a woman can exude her sexuality through her countenance is quite a palatable ideal.

sexy-girl said:perky its interesting to hear your views also
i think often paintings and art can be a mirror into your soul ... each person see's a painting slightly different because everyone is different
I think you're right, sugah.
It's why we discuss it. I'd hate to find that everyone saw everything the same exact way as I see it.
Perspective is such a wonderful experience.

Perky Baby said what I was going to say- only she said it better.
