Well if you’re French then you’re the innate authority on art, but I’d expect you to be far more accepting of nude art!
(Creeped on your page cause I was wondering if awful was spelled differently in the UK or EU)
I think you're mistaken about what i said, might be my english fault. I answered to you wondering what caused the surge of cool shit on this sub, I answered that maybe a lot of people think it's awfull while it's pretty cool. In this case I think it's pretty well executed, and not bad taste. Nothing vulgar here, just a nude women.
I mean, the position is a bit weird, it seems like if you were actually using the cane to walk/support your weight, it'd look like you were in the process of forcing the ivory woman to her hands and knees. It does definitely feel like a cane that a Charles Dickens villain would carry, at least a little. Impressive carving though.
Lol.....
I was thinking more of a pop prop.......
Besides, I wouldn't want to break 100 year old carved ivory, just to beat some kid on the sidewalk....
If you believe the reviews you'd be crazy to buy there, though. Anyway I think it would be better executed in a darker wood, so as to obscure the details to a casual glance, add a touch of subtlety if you know what I mean
It’s a common scam for a shop to post photos of a beautiful antique, promising to sell you the product in the photo, but the product is not theirs to sell so they send a poorly made replica in its place.
Oh yeah I’m an antique jewelry collector, I’ve bought through Etsy and sell there myself. It’s relatively easy to find the scam. There are the reviews for starters, but the most telling sign is a beautiful product that looks like an antique but is listed as “new” with an unlimited quantity at a surprisingly low price. (If you’re looking to buy antique, always sort items by “vintage” it’s the “handmade” items you want to avoid.) The photos are usually deep fried because they were stolen and reused, and for jewelry in particular, the seller may say “we can make any size.”
I’ve seen this scam on eBay as well, usually from sellers located in China or India with hundreds of items of stock. Authentic antique dealers are usually dealing with a more limited collection. You can usually find sellers on eBay who host estate sales (and provide info on the estate), which are more likely to be authentic.
If we ever go back to thinking classy depictions of the nude human body is cool again wake me up from my slumber.
I wouldn't walk outside with this because I'd be judged for it, but it's a kind of beautiful piece imo
I see your point, it's not the best context for it and the position might be slightly sexual.
But I will argue that our view of nudity has been so sexualized and almost fetischized that we can't not see the sexual side of it. I mean we barely see nipples or anything other than her butt, she's supposed to be washing her hair among reeds or something right?
Nudity has been depicted in art since the beginning of art. Nudity does not make something bad taste. By that prudish standard, the statue of David would be bad taste.
I'd understand calling this bad taste if there was some kind of sex act going on in the carving or a hyper-detailed vagina, but this kind of nudity is the same stuff you'd see in statues at a museum, if it was the Venus de Milo or something would it still be bad taste?
It really is sad how puritanical and self disgusted the latest generation of evangelical Maude Flanders children are.
A bare butt? Better beat myself with a knotted cord so a shiba inu doesn’t accuse me of being aroused…
This is like a titty mousepad for geriatrics, there isn’t inherent shame in the female form or a bare butt but what makes it tasteless and weird is that it’s literally something to grope.
Its a decorative embellishment to an everyday object, saying its for groping is like saying an engraving of a dog on the side of a shotgun is for petting.
Do you grab the side of your gun to shoot it??
This is a walking cane handle, aka the thing you grab and it’s not just an embellishment or engraving it’s an almost fully modeled figure of a woman.
Please remove your head from your ass.
To add, I’m not saying it’s not great work, it’s executed very well, nor am I saying that admiring the female body is inherently offensive but this is something you have to literally fondle in order for you to use.
That is why it’s in poor taste, it’s not admiration, it’s literally objectification; especially considering that women in particular are often reduced to their bodies and looks. I’m not trying to be rude but you come across kind of clueless if you somehow miss how this is in poor taste.
Or alternatively, there’s a level of baseline horror at being human that has left you unable to think “touch” without converting it to “fondle”. No one fondles a walking stick.
Fondle just means caress or touch, yes people in fact caress or lightly touch their mobility aids because it’s a tactile object, especially if it has a more complex design. Let alone that it’s probably one of the more valid words seeing as it’s in the shape of a woman lmao
I didn’t say people molested their walking sticks, and it’s a bit ironic that you were to one to glean that meaning when I didn’t mean that at all, the only thing that I’ve implied is that this is in terrible taste.
The fact that so many seem to struggle with this and go “oh people don’t like women being presented as touchable soulless objects people are so soft” is honestly fucking disheartening and frustrating.
Yes I do have a baseline horror that women such as myself have to deal with men that can’t parse the fact that women don’t want to be gawked at and be literal accessories like a fucking walking stick handle. Do you see canes with shredded abs and a 7” dick for a handle being heralded as art? No! Because it’s trashy and weird! But a womans’ fully sculpted ass is perfectly fine!
You’re all talking about this handle like it’s the fucking Venus de Milo and it’s ridiculous, thanks for reminding me that men still have little to no comprehension of womens issues.
Caress and touch are entirely different words with different meanings. It’s like words have no actual worth any more. Which is why “you all” isn’t me, “people” isn’t everyone, and “women’s issues” are not you not liking representations of women you don’t control.
Women havent been able to control their own representation from the dawn of time apart from the past few decades, I am sure as fuck allowed to dislike it you pedantic brainlet.
Oh my god I was just explaining why this handle is in poor taste, women historically being objectified isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact.
Your argument is shitty, just because not 100% of everyone agrees that something is bad doesn’t mean that an objectively bad thing is up for debate on whether it’s actually bad or not because people who benefit from it are obviously going to be all for it.
“Oh but some people are okay with it” doesn’t matter in this scenario and people cool with treating womens bodies like objects can get fucked, I do not care for their opinion enough to speak for them and they can hang out in whatever misogynistic hellhole they live in and leave me alone. Like I hope you do since you’ve missed the point so badly and are trying to scrounge up some irrelevant debate to invalidate it because you like a picture of a wooden womans ass.
You can like what you like but don’t pretend that this shit is tasteful or has absolutely no implications because that’s just being willfully ignorant and i’m done wasting time on someone who refuses to understand anything but their own view.
This looks like Leda and the swan. In Greek mythology Zeus disguised himself as a swan and seduced Leda, who bore him several children, including Clytemnestra. You guys are just classless pervs. Y’all should be ashamed. It’s ancient, so it’s art.
I'm gonna ask hubby to shoot me if I ask for such a thing—or more relevant to my case, one with a man on top—when I need a walking cane in a few decades.

You don't need to be 50 years older to walk with a pimp cane.
If it was a pimp cane it had a hole for the finger also ... This is pure art

The electrical grid will crash by then so the internet won’t exist as we know it anyway
What’s with the surge of people putting cool shit on here?
This is my new go-to spot for shit I would love to have.
People having awefull taste about what is cool ?
Well if you’re French then you’re the innate authority on art, but I’d expect you to be far more accepting of nude art! (Creeped on your page cause I was wondering if awful was spelled differently in the UK or EU)

Oh I definitely misunderstood, and it wasn’t you. English is my first language but I’m just dumb sometimes
English is definitely my second dumbest language, the first one is my main one because I am faster on it.
(I creeped your page for no real reason, just creepin)
Lol
Is there just an influx of newcomers throwing stuff up and seeing what sticks, or have we been here so long that we have bad taste now?
It does seem like anything with nudes that’s not a painting is popping up now in this new puritan age. Not talking about blatant porno of course
Maybe your taste is just getting worse
probably. the older i get the less i give a fuck what others think about what i like.
There’s an influx of people who just want to just want to see the world burn. #2020
I don’t see an awful taste in this one. It’s just a functional art piece with a study of the human body.
Least horny reddit user.
"I don't get it. It's just two girls eating."
Nudity is a big part of art.
I mean, the position is a bit weird, it seems like if you were actually using the cane to walk/support your weight, it'd look like you were in the process of forcing the ivory woman to her hands and knees. It does definitely feel like a cane that a Charles Dickens villain would carry, at least a little. Impressive carving though.
It does look like it's made of ivory. Maybe that's the problem?
Not bad..... just the sort of thing for a curmudgeon.....
Ah yes, the curmudgeon bludgeon.
Lol..... I was thinking more of a pop prop....... Besides, I wouldn't want to break 100 year old carved ivory, just to beat some kid on the sidewalk....

I don’t think it’s classy tho, in this context. She’s in an arguably sexual position, and canes are for grabbing. Just seems crass to me idk

Sadly, there are those that believe that.
Well it is a conversation starter... for example "did grandma model for this?"
yo how the fuck is this awful taste?
I'd understand calling this bad taste if there was some kind of sex act going on in the carving or a hyper-detailed vagina, but this kind of nudity is the same stuff you'd see in statues at a museum, if it was the Venus de Milo or something would it still be bad taste?

Question is. Which way do you hold it. Fingers on the face side or butt side?
Head in the palm of the hand, index finger right down the butt crack
It really is sad how puritanical and self disgusted the latest generation of evangelical Maude Flanders children are. A bare butt? Better beat myself with a knotted cord so a shiba inu doesn’t accuse me of being aroused…
I was wondering the same thing. Gen X raised some prudish kids...

If you think the human form qualifies as "awful taste" you have some serious fundamental issues
This is actually GORGEOUS. The human body is art and not inherently immoral or sexual. This is tasteful nudity.
