It is interesting to see the way we perceive female beauty has shifted over a period of time. This incredible project, a compilation of 45 retouched western painting images by Nazareno Crea, is a great example of how the concept of beauty can be interpreted. Not only that the focus is solely on the output, Crea has also pointed out, somehow ironically, that these parallel processes between the attentive activity of a painter and today’s modern photo-retoucher also demonstrate artists’ time devotion in pursuit of reproducing an ideal utopian beauty. The project is also published and being sold at No Layout.
