Greek Wall Art Sculptures
What was the fascination with live shows women in the early 1900?
Call me crazy, but I'm really at the turn of the century. I read a lot of books from the period and see a lot of movies, and I noticed there is a common practice of women taking, especially high society, and putting on the dress semi-scandal and display them as art. So I was looking at the house of joy and the main character, Lily, gets on the screen as the summer season in this white dress and flowers in her hair. And then I was reading Gramercy Park, and as Alfieri off the train these women are dressed as a Greek scandal show them as a painting or a sculpture. And then I read The Tea Rose and there was this wall murals depicting the four seasons that women in long, flowing wearing loose hair and bare feet. So my question is, is this really a common practice and what was his name? Furthermore, why was so popular?
It is called Tableau Vivant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tableau_vivant If you look at the "Mrs. Henderson Presents" film (located in the early 1930) will discover one of the reasons why it was popular. It was a way to provide light pornography in a way that does not violate the laws of censorship. Under English law, which was illegal for moving naked on stage, but the law does not apply if the composers were stationary. Of course, there has always been a fascination by the outrageous live shows women. Today we call strippers. But in those days stripping in public was illegal, so people had to seek more subtle ways to give people in his kicks. If a pretty girl dressed as a Greek nymph or something, then you can say it's art. I do not think this is exclusive of the time Edwardian. If you read the wikipedia article you'll see that Tableau Vivant was also very popular in the 19th century. But it is true that during the 19 th century was something of a reaction prudishnes against Victorian culture. It was during this time that the risque entertainment as the can-can and strip-tease was born. The development of photography in the 19 Century, and silent movies in the early 20, also may partly explain why this art form was very popular during this period. Here's another article on Tableau Vivant, which might find interesting: http://atthelighthouse.wordpress.com/2007/07/15/13/
