]]> Comment on Madonna with the Long Neck by Mark Harden http://arthistory.we-wish.net/2009/08/03/madonna-with-the-long-neck/comment-page-1/#comment-6268 Mark Harden Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:25:44 +0000 http://arthistory.we-wish.net/?p=493#comment-6268 What strikes me in looking closely at the work, really for the first time, is the body of the Christ child. Standard Madonna iconography depicts Him sitting upright on her lap. This image is unique in His lying prone. We cannot even see His full face, and His eyes are closed. And of course, this recalls, as mentioned above...the Pieta. Parmigianino is reminding us of the truth of Redemption: that Jesus Christ took on our human flesh to die for our sins. He was destined to die for us from the moment of His birth. What strikes me in looking closely at the work, really for the first time, is the body of the Christ child.

Corporations have attempted to gather themselves into the contemporary art world: exhibiting contemporary art within their premises, organizing and sustaining contemporary art awards and building up extensive collections of corporate art. There are close relationships between publicly funded contemporary art organizations and the commercial sector. From one perspective, contemporary art is the art of the immediate present.

Even what I'm wearing right now." Nice to hear that she is all about performance, quality, and producing something that is museum worthy! Seems like Lady Gaga and her "Haus of Gaga" (reference to Walter Gropius' Bauhaus?) are bent on pushing fashion, art, and everything in between forward.
