Der Kunst ihre Freiheit [and the scare of the nude]
Posted in Books, pictures, Travel with tags #DerKunstihreFreiheit, #ToArtItsFreedom in English, advertising, censorship, Egon Schiele, Facebook, London, London Tube, modernism, nude, poster, Vienna, Wien, Wiener Moderne 2018 on February 17, 2018 by xi'an
A poster campaign advertising for several exhibits of modernist painters in Vienna, including major paintings by Egon Schiele, has met with astonishing censoring from the transport companies posting these advertisements. (And by Facebook, which AIs are visibly too artificial and none too intelligent to [fail to] recognise well-known works of art.) Not very surprising, given the well-known conservatism of advertising units in transportation companies, but nonetheless appalling, especially when putting these posters against the truly indecent ones advertising for, e.g., gas guzzling machines and junk food.
