The Prince of Tallahassee, Florida, school was fired for teaching the children of Michelangelo’s David in art class. Apparently, several families complained that their children were exposed to the Renaissance penis in the act of offending pornography, as if instead of David Michelangelo, they taught “black whatsapp”. I must admit that I have to look at the sculpture again to identify parts of it and find no offense in the shape or size of Buonarotti’s reproduction of the genitalia.
I don’t quite understand how naked viewing from 1504 can offend a child or what rules are violated when a child discovers that others have what he has between his legs. These visions are repulsed only by the innocence of the child. I remember that during a visit to the Ashmolean Museum, I found a nude male sculpture – by Stefano Maderno, I think I remember and, when I saw it, my daughter Paloma asked who it was. “Hercules,” we pointed out, and she replied, “Well, Hercules has a very beautiful ass.”
I do not know how one can be offended by the observation of a marble penis, regardless of Carrari marble. It would be possible for someone to remind us, by calling David David Buonarotti, that he was not a stereotyped man who, that is to say, acting almost in the internal market, would prefer to be called Giovanna, Bartolomea or Gostanza.
“Censorship, simple and traditional, means a simple vision of the genitals, which corrupts the person, this child.”
Offense can also refer to the fact that someone, before a magnificent creature, feels inferior or inferior through Italian sculpture. This is to be understood because the usual envy among whom I find myself naturally wanted to break with David. We don’t want to be offended because we are taller, for example. Because the image of a 5.17 meter tall man stands out, stockier, thinner than average, and wearing offensive hair.
Capresei endowed his David with many attributes, except that which concerns us, so that nothing that afflicts us here is a strict Bartularian vision. Censorship, simple and traditional, means the mere appearance of the genitals, which corrupts the person, in this case the child. It is understood that, for moral standards, shameful sculptures should be boxed or covered. In fact, the concealment of David’s genitals can create sensuality according to the imagination of that man, the kind of man he was able to receive between his legs, and, on the other hand, it does not work in the revelation of a certain extent of his offense. proportions.
The problem is, what kind of dick do you see, which censorship has always been, little developed and can be so easily detected that it coexists with other developments and dangerous current censorship. After all, purity takes many forms in a painful process that some of us have been warned about for years with little success, it seems. The recognition that the end of culture comes equipped with meters of empathy and other emotions that must be established in the minds of viewers, however young they may be. He did not study the work, but it could have an effect on the one who contemplates it, always suspicious of receiving emotions that should not be tolerated. The same thing happened with the contemplation of the battle in San Isidro Fair which was before Goya’s Maja nude.
So we add rhombuses, elements and some subtle artifices so that David can’t see his real, human, magnificent and ordinary dick in equal parts, dick as if from the rain for ten past seven on Monday. in the morning We have been on this slope for a long time. It begins by asking that the bull not die in front of the audience, and a pair of jeans is placed on David Michael Michael.
