We started by fashion and we must go back to it.
think about fashion, the first thing that I think should be emphasized is the dominant image . And 'the era of dictatorship exercised by all that can be perceived by sight, which makes of him the other senses.
The man relates to the world of fashion initially and primarily through sight (in addition to the touch, but it draws a more material). Now, art in general needs to be experienced aesthetically and be "eaten" by sight.
E 'for this reason that I consider photography, visual art par excellence.
In particular, I would consider a famous fashion photographer, Helmut Newton .
This man, since the early 60's of last century, works with many prestigious fashion magazines. What sets him apart is his matchless picture, full of symbolic references that testify to the changes taking place during the years in which he lives. The protagonists of his photographic creations are women, often captured nude.
photos are full of provocation. In them you play with evil, sexuality, eccentricity, relative ... Not have anything to innocent (after all many famous artists argue that art can not be anything resembling innocence).
The woman is shown in his being carnal in its pure state represents eroticism. Newton's photographs in some cases border on bad taste (of course I did not post the most explicit, having to go to a wide audience).
But the art has this quality: the more provocative and irreverent, the more it is considered unique.
Newton leaked from the creations of the feeling of pleasure-seeking that becomes obsessive, perverse, they are representatives of an anti-moral. This link
between beauty, obsession and perversion has been widely discussed in reference to various arts (just to give you an example, Oscar Wilde must have known something, otherwise they will remember him as the best advocate and practitioner of modern hedonism!).
The question I ask is this: The fashion, which typically embodies the beauty of its appearance is necessarily affected by morbid, perverse?
I think that too many factors come into play in order to provide a clear answer and satisfying. What is certain is that the theme of beauty is so broad and complex, being related, in some cases, obsession and morbidity.
That is why I titled this post "Fashion adopt the favored son of Art: Beauty and Obsession."
