I'd seen this video before but I always enjoy seeing it again! I think it's hauntingly beautiful, that's the best way I can describe it. There are so many great pieces individually, but then to be strung together in an almost video timeline of femininity - I think it's great!

Agreed...it was very mesmerizing.

 

[Samsa]

That's really fascinating!

Thanks.
I had viewed Eggman913's Women in Art thanks to the recommendation of another FLer. Being classically trained and somewhat technologically adept, I really enjoyed the selections, the technical skill used to morph them, and the accompanying musical background. On reflection, however, I was realized the ideological flaw consequent to limiting the selections to Western art. Even though I shared the link with friends and family, my enthusiasm was diminished by that realization.

In Women in Film, however, the seamless inclusion of Dorothy Dandridge, Angela Bassett, Salma Hayek, and Halle Berry corrects that flaw by its confirmation of the universality of beauty.

If those four aren't prime examples of "Western art" - whatever their ancestry - then I'm an Etruscan pot shard.

They were all painting the same girl just with thousands of different faces...

Beauty never changes.

500 yrs- why not 5000? they could have featured Nofretiti and the Venus of Milo too.

Western Art - not only.
If you look at Asiatic art (Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc.) or African art (the Ivory mask in Benin) the female beauties are beautiful there also.

Nice clip.

What is that music???

Suite No. 1 in G Major,....I posted a link to this a while back,....http://www.maysstuff.com/womenid.htm
I was surprised to see that it was only 90 works of art morphed together. It looked like a lot more.
