The Contemporary Beauty Ideal

image
 
Artist Remus Grecu was asked by Ogilvy & Mather to paint the Contemporary Beauty Ideal in the manner of the Old Masters to show how standards of beauty have changed. Drastically. The work is being showcased at the St?ɬ§del Museum in Frankfurt next to the originals. Near the paintings hangs a plaque written by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders:

Beauty Ideals change. Today celebrities, the media, and the fashion industry all promote body measurements that are unattainable with healthy eating behaviours.
