Primordial Pin-Up

After the Bath (1894) by the French academic painter Adolphe William Bouguereau (1825-1905). A perfect nude though and in its days it was considered great art. But from a more modern perspective it looks like a primordial pin-up, same style, same pose, same perfection.

Biblis

Biblis (1884) by the French academic painter William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905).

Biblis fell in love with her twin brother Caunus, who fled from her. She followed him throughout Asia Minor until she died from exhaustion and grief.
Here can be seen a very sad girl, but she didn't look exhausted at all.

Kitsch vulgar

Here a nude by the once famous academic painter William Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905).

Woman with Seashell (1885) - Femme au Coquillage

It looks innocent, but when you realize that coquillage in French has an obvious sexual implication it seems only vulgar.
