1. "I can't help myself"
Apollo and Daphne. Piero del Pollaiolo, 1470-1480 gg.
This picture looks like the finished meme to which only need to add the correct signature. However, nothing funny in it, as it illustrates the tragic story Il "Metamorphoses" of Ovid. In this story, the God Apollo has made location of the nymph Daphne, who was not really interested in a relationship.
To avoid the annoying attentions of the God, Daphne asked her parents, which was the earth goddess and God of the rivers, to save her. Old or not understand something or poorly conducted an educational moment, but in the end, the nymph turned into a Laurel tree. Saddened by Apollo made the Laurel evergreen, and a wreath of the branches of this tree, one of its characters.
Have widiasmoro of Apollo there is serious justification of his obsession — he's almost sick. From the story Daphne, he quarreled with the Eros, which in retaliation pierced him with a love arrow, instilling a passion for forbidding the nymph. Your medical history is ready to present to the participants the biggest scandals-harassment — producer Harvey Weinstein and actor Kevin spacey. Celebrities, after allegations of improper actions, went to a clinic for sex addicts and are not considered Libertines, and deeply unhealthy people.
2. Devils can't leave...
The temptation of St. Anthony. Hieronymus Bosch, 1505-1506 gg.
One of the most important works of Hieronymus Bosch like most of the rest of his work eventful. On the right wing of a triptych, the artist has depicted the devil, who appeared to Anthony under the guise of naked bathers. The fiend had Holy Queen welcomes guests, offering useful and interesting tour.
The plot of the right wing like the story of Michael Anello — bodyguard pop diva Mariah Carey. The man accused the singer that she was seducing him, appearing before them in skimpy outfits. In particular, once Michael was invited to the hotel room to pick up the Luggage and saw a Carey in a transparent negligee. Anello wanted to leave, but Mariah was not allowed, forcing to collect the suitcases in her presence. Also the poor man claimed that he received moral injury due to the fact that the woman had engaged with the men having sex in his presence.
3. Now is the time to choke the goose
Leda and the Swan. Michelangelo, circa 1530
The great Renaissance artist portrayed the wife of the Spartan king Ledoux, which tries to capture Zeus, for conspiracy turned into a pretty big bird. This popular story was mercilessly exploited since antiquity until relatively recently, artists, sculptors, theatre Directors and even producers of pornographic movies.
Leda and the Swan. Leonardo da Vinci, circa 1508
Also was offered and Leonardo — it is less obscene, still near children. Obviously, physically strong Leda desperately resisted, but the artists have depicted the moment when the Queen was desperate to fend off the Swan and ready to surrender.
Stories of celebrities who pretended to be cute and harmless, and then shocked his victims obscenity, happened often. Recent examples include the behavior of Director James Toback, who loved to meet girls on the street. Appealing to another young damsels career in film, Tobacco invited her home, where they showed their true selves, forcing him to watch as he Masturbates.
4. "Pojdemte in numbers to choose the best"
Lucas Cranach The Elder. The judgment of Paris, 1528
In this picture there is a kind of beauty contest. Before the main culprit of the Trojan war appeared three goddesses — Hera, Aphrodite and Athena, who needed an independent expert. Goddess shared the Apple with the inscription "to the Fairest", thrown by the goddess of discord. Originally called best were Zeus, but he is entrusting this work to a son of the Trojan rulers of Priam and Hecuba.
Here you can re-remember Harvey Weinstein, who was called in a number of Actresses who love offered the best roles in his films and a nomination for "Oscar". Of course, Harvey is far from Beautiful Helen, on the contrary, but the Trojan war followed.
5. Godly vs Horny old man
Susanna and the elders. Artemisia Gentileschi, 1610
Here are the biblical story featuring godly Susanna, wife of Joachim. The woman took a bath in the fresh air, than watched two elderly weirdo. Old people are so dispersed that began to harass Susanna, blackmailing her by declare the presence of her lover. This was a serious accusation, as adultery was punishable by death.
The woman didn't respond, she was maligned, but wonderful sign to the young man Daniel saved the righteous from the massacre. Susanna was acquitted, old voyeurs were confounded, and in very handy discovers in herself the gift of the prophet, the young man made his career.
It is the blackmail the notorious Harvey Weinstein has made location model Amber Guttierez. "No need to ruin a friendship with me for five minutes," said the producer of the girl, alluding to possible problems. And trouble not long in coming — the villain hired people who planted Ambra in a purse drugs. It Guttierez first accused Harvey of harassment.
6. Greek love of heavenly color
The Abduction Of Ganymede. Peter Paul Rubens, 1636
Zeus, amazed by the beauty of Prince Ganymede, sent to earth eagle, so he kidnapped the boy and took him to Olympus. According to another version, the bird became Zeus himself personally to steal the young man. In the end, God gave Ganymede immortality and was appointed Olympic Butler — during feasts in the halls of thunder, the young man had to spill the gods and heroes of nectar and ambrosia for the cups.
Kevin spacey, by the way, has not suffered the punishment for sexual abuse of boys, despite the fact that some of them were only 14-15 years old. Here's antique tolerance to defects celebrities were seen in the twenty-first century, in a country where most strongly condemn the seducers minors.
7. And quickly open the robe.
The fresh cavalier the morning or the official who received the first cross. Pavel Fedotov, 1846
Petty officer all night celebrated the receipt of the first order, talking about clear traces of the big feast. In the morning, not quite sober, demonstrates the cook award, the trailer of her torn robe. The girl, in response, laughing shows the newly decorated his worn-out boots.
Seemingly ordinary satirical story, if not for the small details. Fedotov, in addition to the talent of the painter who had a literary gift, signed the painting so:
Under the Chevalier himself with passports, implied supervisor. This Fedotov gives to understand that the type of kid who made his cook, no decent small police fry in guests will not come.
Analogy? Still the same creep Harvey Weinstein. The producer was invited to audition aspiring Actresses to his home and went to him in the dressing gown on a naked body. That's exactly what he was immortalized in the Hollywood harassment monument, established in honor of a string of sex scandals, featuring Harvey in his dressing gown and Slippers. Is the song "the Casting couch".
8. Shed the Golden rain
Danae. Gustav Klimt, 1907
Another story from ancient times. Father of Danae oracles foretold that he would die from his grandson. So he hid his daughter so that no one man could not and close to approach her. But Zeus, who could find a way out of any situation just spilled on her Golden rain and she bare a son of Perseus.
Louis C. K.
Among the many Hollywood celebrities resourceful guys. James Tobacco, Louis C. K., Harvey Weinstein — all these guys knew the approach to the ladies. One of their original findings belonged sudden appearance in front of guests in an open robe or unbuttoned fly. By the way, Weinstein still famous for the fact that once, in a luxurious restaurant, other visitors, "spilled a Golden rain" in the flower pot.
A self-portrait. Egon Schiele, 1910
Egon Schiele — a very original artist who left a legacy of many great paintings. Among his many self portraits, some of which are very emotional and sometimes frankly pornographic. What can I say — master himself was no Saint. Schiele was repeatedly accused of the harassment to the Nudes, and even once accused of sexual abuse of minors.
Last year in the Austrian capital held an exhibition dedicated to the centenary of the death of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt. Billboard at the entrance to the exhibition hall in Vienna were processed by the censor and by purchasing a ticket to the exhibition, the visitor agreed that he was ready to see not just the usual stuff categories 18+. Of course, a minor entrance to the event was strictly prohibited. But most of the celebrities have become the heroes of scandals harassment, is not interested in whether they want to see their genitals ladies are invited to visit under the pretext. Even less worried about the age of the victims.
10. Was there a boy?
The black square. Kazimir Malevich, 1915
One hundred years after the writing of this icon of Suprematism, the experts found it barely noticeable signature made by the artist's hand: "Battle of Negroes in a dark cave." The joke suggests that Malevich was familiar with the work of cartoonist Alphonse Allais, This artist is back in the 1880s drew colored shapes, along with signatures: "the Pimps in the Prime of life, drinking absinthe, lying on their bellies in the grass" — on the green rectangle, or "Harvesting tomatoes on the shore of the red sea apoplectic cardinals" — red.
What is the relation to sexual harassment? You can say video! The picture is similar to trying to find harassment where they were not. Unfortunately, in addition to real cases of sexual abuse, there are many far-fetched, when for harassment accept a compliment, an invitation for coffee or tell a joke.
