For a long time I was convinced of the classic aesthetic as shades in the sheen of black or white. Venus de Milo is undressed, plainly. Zeus sat in dominance among mere mortals, bared, bare.

This is the actual torso that inspired Rilke, but I like mine better.
I don't think so.
Submitted by enpen on Fri, 10/19/2007 - 12:08pm.Nah. In fact the garishly recent findings would seem to affirm Rilke's conclusions. If things were as they were when Apollo's "head and all the light" did indeed radiate vividly, most classicists who currently fight so hard to have them prominently displayed in the modern aesthetic would notice a urinal before they ever saw some loinly god smile.
