Of Lourve, Rodin and Nudity
Paris is well-known for its richness in arts, such as paintings and sculptures. Being able to witness such artistic collections made me understand them a little better, in an amusing way though. You’ll know why as you read on.
During my visit to Paris, I’ve visited 2 museums – Rodin Museum and the famous Lourve Museum.
To be honest, I’m not an art lover and I find it very hard to appreciate the value and significance of the artworks. So to all art lovers reading this, no offense ya? =)
For your information, most of the museums in Paris require an entrance fee. Nothing is free – see old paintings and stones also need to pay. However, museums in London are free!
Anyway, the Lourve Museum houses one of the world’s best art collections of European paintings, sculptures and antiques. There is always a crowd of people around the star attraction, the Mona Lisa.
Like what I’ve said in my earlier entry, Mona Lisa is not a nude hot babe painting so I don’t think it’s intriguing. My friend, Michael, somehow agreed by saying “Mona Lisa is famous because her eyes will be looking at you no matter where you stand from the painting. But I’ve decided to stand behind of the painting and it seems like she’s not looking at me anymore!”.
Another famous sculpture is Michelangelo’s The Dying Slave.
The slave doesn’t look like he’s dying to me. More of a horny slave!
The Borghese Gladiator is a poser without clothes.
Canova’s Psyche and Cupid looks nice, but the cupid is a pervert. Just look at his hand!
Venus de Milo is half-nude probably because she has no hands to wear a shirt.
And here’s a human pervert taking picture of that nude babe. I actually waited for him to leave so that I can take a picture, but he was too engrossed with the sculpture!
There are even paintings of tortured nude men.
And a painting of a lady with her sexy back!
Besides the sculptures and the paintings, the ceilings are well-decorated too.
It’s really fascinating to realize how much effort the people back then put into arts. Buildings and architectures these days are pretty simple, and plain.
As you walk along the corridors in Lourve Museum, you’ll encounter painters painting imitations of the available paintings. They are really good – their replication is almost like the original.
Oh yeah, there are weird stuffs as well. Just like this…
Looks like the lady is forcing the man to suck her boobies? Crazy huh?
Anyway, Rodin Museum is rather interesting as well. Everyone probably knows about The Thinker and how it looks like, so I’m just gonna show you his ass.
Nicely-shaped I must say.
The Rodin Museum consists of the house and the garden. The house has a collection of sculptures and paintings while the garden has sculptures scattered around.
Rodin’s The Kiss is also another prominent sculpture. Rodin must be pretty horny when he was creating it. All his sculptures are usually nude.
Out in the garden there are more amusing sculptures.
The stone and the flesh collaborating together to form a distinguished artwork.
This sculpture probably wants to have a snowball fight.
Besides the paintings and all, even the souvenirs contain nudity.
I think buying this plate and cup for your mum is a very wrong idea. You might get “Son, you naughty boy!”
Okay, I know I may sound non-appreciative but honestly – the more I see, the more bored I get. That’s why of all the available museums, I’ve only been to two. However, if you’re a hardcore art lover and you’re gonna visit every single museum in Paris, do consider getting the Paris Museum Pass. With it, you gain entry to over 60 museums. =)
Anyway, it’s interesting to know that there are individuals who appreciate and look highly on such artwork collections done centuries ago. Even though these paintings and sculptures may not be suitable for certain audience, they are proudly deemed artistic, inventive and valuable.
But if anyone in this current generation wants to emulate the legacy of such famous artists, I’d think it’s a crazy idea. Many will assume it as nonsense.
Here’s a sample scenario: Ken Picasso loves drawing and he draws every day.
And then one day, his friend, Jonathan de Vinci, visits him in his room.
Jonathan said “Hi” and sees what Ken is doing, and he saw this…
Drawings of naked ladies with huge round boobs! Feeling shocked, Jonathan loudly cried…
After listening to Jonathan de Vinci’s truthful comment, Ken Picasso must be really disappointed. And because of that incident, Ken has decided to give up drawing and therefore, his talent is totally wasted.
So in this unfortunate 21st century, when it’s about naked ladies and boobs – the next word that comes next will obviously be “pervert”. I know that, because I get that a lot. But frankly, I’m really an innocent boy!
Furthermore, it’d be even worse if anyone were to produce weird, or some may say imaginative, artworks.
Take a close look at the picture above. Can you find anything weird/crazy about it?
Look carefully, and you’ll realize that…
The snake is biting her nipple!
Artists back then are definitely imaginative, and weird at times. Don’t you agree?

Aj on 21 January, 2010 at 12:28 AMKen Picasso.. don’t let your talent go to waste! lol.. how in da world did you manage to stand BEHIND mona lisa? u went thru the walls eh? :P
The Mona Lisa painting is placed on a wall in the MIDDLE of a room, that’s why people can go behind in. =)
Merryn on 21 January, 2010 at 12:35 AMAre you sure Mona Lisa’s eyes didn’t follow you when you went behind the painting? Haha! And yes, how did you go behind the painting? LOL!
Ken Picasso, you pervert! LOL!
foongpc on 21 January, 2010 at 12:53 AMlolllllllllllll yeah sometimes the line between artistic and pornographic is extremely blurry, read non-existent.
Manju on 21 January, 2010 at 1:06 AMROFL maybe ken picasso should add snakes to his drawings. then it’ll be ‘art’ whatever haha
rofl…got to be honest, you’re totally right
idzwan on 21 January, 2010 at 1:22 AMfelt the same way when i’m in paris…
i was really intrigued and tried my hardest to see the best n all the sculptures but after endless nude sculptures all over the places, i dont even get horny anymore….just pure boredom…if only they had moved..hhaha
n somehow i think paris is very sex-oriented…all the mags were about sex stuff… dont think i’ll want to visit paris again
wahh…i can conclude dat the artist is obsessed to the “human figure” and very high imagination. not sure if the artist was a straight or gay or bi. haha…
i think dat time they had lack of “well-sewn” clothes. so their clothes easily fall-off. then the artist just do painting/sculpture of anything that makes his models comfy.
haha…
this applies to ken picasso too…
p/s: jangan marah ye! just kidding!!
aslina on 21 January, 2010 at 1:24 AMhaha, u hamsap lou!
kelvin on 21 January, 2010 at 1:34 AMSome of the paintings might be weird but some have meaning to it:)
nice post!
caLwin on 21 January, 2010 at 3:28 AMThe art and paintings are unbelievable but the building are also super. I love Paris.
Filip Demuinck on 21 January, 2010 at 3:32 AMThat’s why! No wonder more and more people are so dirty-minded lar now. :p
tekkaus on 21 January, 2010 at 5:20 AMlol
i had been there
but didnt enter the museum
since too expensive
paris expensive right?
Yeah, it is. =)
joegrimjow on 21 January, 2010 at 5:49 AMhaha. If ken picasso were to be born in that era he would have made a great artist!
catherine on 21 January, 2010 at 7:14 AMInteresting. But yeah, I’d agree the part about looking at the same/similar thing bores me too. Anything other than nudity there? @_@
Somehow that tatas drawing reminds me of a southpark episode *uhuk~
OMG! snake bite boobies @_@
massy on 21 January, 2010 at 7:46 AM# 1: i think the Thinker needs to hit the gym more often and do more curls, his ass is not very bubbly
# 2: i think you should have collaborated with the Gladiator. NAKED!!!! hahaaha
# 3: I think Jonathan should ONLY shout if he finds u drawing naked men with tiny penises…
BUT what do I know? I am not an art lover too hahahahha
are you back in msia yet?
manglish on 21 January, 2010 at 8:18 AMso good….they let you take pixs in the museum! Most museums don’t allows it. I visited the Da vinci exhibition here and photography is a no no.
Christopher on 21 January, 2010 at 9:52 AMThat was artistic back then. Now it’s different.

nicole on 21 January, 2010 at 11:14 AMit seems that all the sculptures and paintings have the same theme, if u know what i meant. ;p
So many great photos took by you. I love all the art photos as it portraits the creativity of human. How come most of the paintings and sculptures are naked except Mona Lisa… Hehe…
Lee | UseGet on 21 January, 2010 at 11:30 AMNice write-up on Paris. And nice pics too. But I shiver just by looking at them. Hehe. Ohhh, and you’re not the only one who’s not really interested in all the sculptures and paintings. In fact, I found them quite weird. ohh, and i spent less than 5 minutes at the Mona Lisa corner. I really don’t get it. :-D
jipp on 21 January, 2010 at 11:45 AMso artist back then are also pervert lols

sam on 22 January, 2010 at 9:57 AMhey i read from internet that people get free entry to Lourve Museum on the 1st sunday of every month!
Muahahah! If Mona still can see you when you are standing behind her, I think that is called as HAUNTED!
Su on 22 January, 2010 at 10:05 AMI understand why Ken Picasso will draw hamsap photos..
This is because there are a lot of influences after visit sex museum.
Er… I think camera is not allowed right? How can you take a lot photos?
Photography without flash is allowed. But many took with flash anyway. =)
CHVoon on 22 January, 2010 at 2:54 PMhaha…pervert…:). one of my friends used to say:” ham sapness is crucial to continue our generations.” :D
Gabriel on 22 January, 2010 at 3:42 PMeww…the snake bite the boobies..i feel the pain…hahahaah
Kancilbiru on 22 January, 2010 at 10:13 PMso tities la… hahaha.
che li on 23 January, 2010 at 1:28 AMHAAHAHAHA! Hamsap lou XD
Elaine on 23 January, 2010 at 4:23 AMhahaa! not sure if anyone mentioned this above, but the appreciation of the human body is evident in all the artworks above because to many artists, the human body is art by itself. :D
so no lar, they’re not horny, tho michealangelo is probably gay, but it’s to create an appreciation of human forms and to celebrate the beauty of the human mind.
after 500 years of these thoughts, it’s today that we think that humans are the topmost important lifeform on this planet, the most superior one.
brainwashed, i suppose. but oh well, thanks to The Enlightenment and Renaissance.
beautiful artworks :D i wish i’m there one day!!
Grey Ang on 23 January, 2010 at 3:49 PM18SX entry :D
Anif® on 24 January, 2010 at 1:43 AMHohoho~

Karen on 24 January, 2010 at 11:15 AMWow, visiting the museum of that davinci code movie. :D Lol, sure is fun reading and looking at the pictures. :D Well you stand at the back of mona lisa, you also could not see her, so maybe she is staring at you somehow but you didn’t notice it :D. Just kidding. It’s kind of weird to see snakes bitting that part -.- WTH is the artist thinking.

Renise on 24 January, 2010 at 1:32 PMken, you know, they all were victims T_T
If you don’t believe me, you have to borrow the *tablet* from daley (the guy from night museum) and talk with the sculptures.

sharinginfoz on 25 January, 2010 at 1:14 PMEEEE..i prefer ur drawing than the ones in the museum. How come those days they love to draw men and women naked?
I thought the olden days, people are more conservative,but then, from your trip, we can see many nude sculptures and drawings. Do their subject pose naked for the artist to draw and sculpt them?
Hmmm..
MsXeRoZ on 25 January, 2010 at 1:24 PMI miss Paris..

Keng Huei on 7 February, 2010 at 5:38 PMWell to us Asians it’s perversion, but to those European artists back then, it’s beauty and art :) In fact don’t forget humankind was created naked anyway and felt no shame abt it, until Adam and Eve sinned in the presence of God :P
