In business suits.<br /><br />And the Manet "Luncheon in the Grass," like his "Olympia," shocked<br />contemporary taste not by portraying nude women but by making them look like normal females rather than the idealized figures of Giorgione and Titian. A more modern objection would be that only the lady goes sans attire in "luncheon," a somewhat brutal demonstration of male privilege.<br /><br />TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-47680714999677372882017-05-21T10:33:39.200-05:002017-05-21T10:33:39.200-05:00"Homines quod volunt credunt", that is."Homines quod volunt credunt", that is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-18961967627452755342017-05-21T10:28:41.897-05:002017-05-21T10:28:41.897-05:00Glad to have read this.

Because when we can't even believe one word of what our own country's president spouts on a daily basis, it becomes just a wee bit dicey. I like this quote from Caesar: "quod volunt credunt" (men believe what they want to).
