Art and Madness: The
David syndrome - is it jealousy or something else that makes men mad when they look at Michelangelo's David? After all, not everyone can do as Napoleon, and turn
turn himself into David. (I know he's supposed to be
Mars, but he's always looked suspiciously like David to me.)
Bizarre. I am a male, I have seen David in Florence towering over me, but all I ever felt was a great admiration for this fabulous sculptor Michaelangelo... Am I the fringes of the male population, or is Magherini and colleagues off in the twilight?
ReplyDeleteI suspect when some men feel themselves moved by the beauty of another naked man, they're quite disturbed by it - even if he is only a scultpure.
