What are the similarities between Julie Rrap and Patricia Piccinini?
They both look at the body and how it has been portrayed. They manipulate the human form in a way that raises questions about social, cultural, political and historical issues. Rrap's work has to do with how the female body has been represented throughout the history of European art and she raises issues concerning transgender culture, genetic engineering and sexuality. Piccinini creates artworks where she cross breeds different species and makes a statement about bioengineered bodies. in her artwork "Game boy advanced" she makes two young twin boys playing a gameboy look old with sagging skin and wrinkles. Here she makes reference to Dolly the Sheep who was cloned and died young due to this. The twin boys represent Dolly as they look too old for their age as they were cloned. Here she questions cloning and the human body.

Simply because all things, great and small, were first created. Creation is the mother of all things, not necessity.
Before modernism, the predominant artistic and literary movements included Romanticism and Realism. Romanticism, which emerged in the late 18th century, emphasized emotion, nature, and individualism, while Realism, rising in the mid-19th century, focused on depicting everyday life and societal issues with accuracy. These movements laid the groundwork for modernism by challenging traditional forms and exploring new themes and perspectives.
There are several exact copies of this statue circulating around on the internet; I purchased one of them. Although it is a very nice statue, it is NOT carved alabaster as was claimed. Instead, it is cast alabaster. That is, it is made from a mixture of ground-stone and resin, poured into a mold and allowed to harden. There must be an original, carved version in existence somewhere (from which the others were cast), but you probably won't find it for sale in the $100 to $200 price range.
Still, the copy I purchase is detailed and well-made, and for me at least, worth the $175 I paid for it.
