These Historical Paintings Are More Disturbing Than Most People Would Think

It's strange that many people don't consider television shows, films, and video games to be "art" because of their violent and provocative content. But, have you ever looked at some of the most famous classical paintings?

Some of the most famous paintings of the old world are downright vulgar. Nudity and disturbing images of violence such as deities eating babies whole, women having sex with animals, and even beheadings plaster the walls of art museums everywhere.

Not only that, but these paintings are nearly priceless. People view them sipping on wine and possibly even adjusting their monocles. When you really consider the subject matter here, it seems insane.

That’s called “The Mother In Law.”

Stop with the gerbils cr@p. That is a malicious rumor spread by a jealous Sly Stalone while working with Gere. He has admitted it. LOOK IT UP.

Some do, some don’t. Frank Frazetta never used models or reference images (even for the animals).

Genius!

Sounds like another Pelosi definition of a stool sample coming up for the proposed Internet Legislation. You know, “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it”.

Sorry I posted the remark in the wrong article.

Now that is disturbing! No way Pelosi’s boobs are that nice!

I think it has more to do with the banality than with the objectionable content.

Now, that’s funny!
