If someone wants to understand an unknown culture, one can do so by looking at it's art. All the information and knowledge we have or had about our past is through those artworks created during that particular time period or by a very specific type of people of those bygone era or the ones who belong to those group. To be able to witness this type of art and culture is somewhat a privilege on its own. So I would like to thank everyone who works at MET and comes up with these crazy idea of showcasing this fantastic but somewhat underestimated works of art. I have said it in the past and I am going to say it again, in the age of technology and internet, art is dying, so thank you MET for being such a good sport and showcasing these despite of all controversies and criticism. Have a great day and great job as usual.
I miss the classical expression of beauty that their robes hide. I appreciate the idea of trying to pose women in a different more regal light but the surreal dimensions of the sculpture seem to make these women more of an idea than a reality while hiding away from the strength women have today and leaving it abstract.
Her art is so inspiring and purposeful.
That thing she said about different ways of expressing humanity-feels like it broke something wide open inside me. Thank you.

0:44 how women have historically been depicted
2:30 how Mutu has reinterpreted that depiction to tell a new story about women
Too short. Would love to have seen more. Thank you.
It’s weird that it seems like all of these are the not experienced enough ones being showcased, does that mean what you meant?

so you are suggesting that a statue of a woman MUST reveal her body? Ok
They don’t have ears..
