. Knowledge of the original myth of Pygmalion APEX
William Hogarth's painting might be difficult for modern audiences to understand because the paintings attacked contemporary taste which modern audiences hold today.
The Painting shows an Inversion of the Original Story. Pygmalion turnes into a statue while Galatea becomes a living woman.
Well, honey, Hogarth's painting in source C might be a head-scratcher for some audiences because it's chock-full of symbolism and social commentary that can be as subtle as a sledgehammer. But hey, if folks can't wrap their heads around it, that's on them, not Hogarth. His message is still loud and clear, whether people get it or not.
The painting is called "Pygmalion and Galatea" painted by JL Gerome.
an oil painting if i understand the question correctly...

Pygmalion fell in love with a statue he created (which was later named Galatea). Aphrodite (Venus) answered his prayers that the statue become a real woman. This has been captured perhaps most famously by Jean-Léon Gérôme's oil painting 'Pygmalion and Galatea'.

well, some artists do abstract painting, which means that its not real. artists just express their feelings, and sometimes, maybe they feel confused. they just do what they feel and maybe its hard to understand
