Google AdSense Programme Policies vs A Tiny Painted Vulva

Update: this post lost us our Google Ads. Because of a painted vulva. And a complaining commenter probably. "As stated in our programme policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to place Google ads on pages with adult or mature content." So Art Boobs is looking for a new sponsor.

"Darling! I Have so Many Times Told You Not to Take Photos of Me All the Time!" by Jaroslaw Kukowski, oil on board, 60x80 cm.

I''ll let fellow blogger Jahsonic defend this painting: "There are a 1001 reasons not to like Jarosław Kukowski , the first one probably that his art is kitsch. But so is Odd Nerdrum’s, John Currin’s, Hajime Sorayama’s and most other new figurative artists of the post-war era. There is only one reason not not to like Kukowski, and that is this Venus."

Great images. Shame about the photoshopping. If you look at these two photos you can see that the same overlay has been applied to both images. Just look for the vertical lines in the top right corner. I'd recommend Dorotka to buy a second-hand Polaroid and re-shoot these images. And blow them up to a few feet, mount 'm on perspex, and get a show at Yossi Milo.

"Alice dans le Miroir" (1933) by Balthus

Moving in 1933 into his first Paris studio at the Rue de Furstemberg and later another at the Cour de Rohan, Balthus showed no interest in modernist styles such as Cubism. His paintings often depicted pubescent young girls in erotic and voyeuristic poses. One of the most notorious works from his first exhibition in Paris was The Guitar Lesson (1934), which caused controversy due to its depiction of a sexually explicit depiction of a pre-pubescent girl being sexually molested by her teacher. Other important works from the same exhibition included La Rue (1933), La Toilette de Cathy (1933) and Alice dans le miroir (1933).

Three paintings (2004-2005) by Agnieszka Sandomierz

"Untitled" (2005) by Agnieszka Sandomierz, 100x120 tempera żółtkowa, płótno.

"Untitled" (2004) by Agnieszka Sandomierz, 25x50 tempera żółtkowa, płótno.

"Untitled" (2005) by Agnieszka Sandomierz, 130x160 tempera żółtkowa, płótno.

Agnieszka Sandomierz (1978) studied in the Fine Arts Academy, Warsaw, with Professor Jarosław Modzelewski. In 2003, she took her degree with a mention from the Painting Department, under Professor Wiesław Szamborski. Since 1999, she has taken part in several group exhibitions, as has ten individual exhibitions to her credit.

For Agnieszka Sandomierz, as for several artists of her age, the starting point is a new pop-art. This can be seen in the frames of her paintings, in how substantive and ordinary they are. However, Agnieszka’s paintings exceed the limits of an impersonal pop-art. They tend to omit its rigours, rather than overcoming them. Instantly striking is the momentum and freedom with which they are painted. We can see how an ornament fills in the space anew, creating a decorative wallpaper. Intimacy squeezes out any ‘political’ commentaries there. The painter likes to improvise, and she can excellently feel the fetishist power of brands and erotic extras. She would show ‘the way young lovers do’ in dozens of ways; as if she wanted to get saturated with any and all tastes possible.
