Sculpture and tickling

[_virginie_]

Ok, so this might be a bit of a rambling one. I was staying with some friends a couple of weeks ago, and in their drawing room I saw a sculpture of Leda and the Swan. If you haven't read the myth, its a sculpture of when Zeus in the form of a swan has sex with the woman Leda. It was not a subtle depiction.

Anyway, this made me think of how much art in sculpture especially, but also in painting, is considered acceptable and admirable, but would be called pornographic in another form. I know that's not a new thought, but I wondered if tickling or any other fetishes were depicted in such a way? I don't think the Romans or Greeks were that into tying back toes and getting the feathers out, but I'm no classicist...

So, have any of you seen anything like that?

Well, fuck a duck!

Sorry, I haven't seen anything like that before. I just wanted to say 'fuck a duck'.

Sadly never seen any classical sculptures or painting featuring tickling...

Although I have noticed how well feet are painted/ sculpted in certain Neo-classical works 🙂

Well, I've never seen or heard of tickling being displayed in classic paintings or sculptures before, but I think I've heard of its being portrayed in older pornographic writings before.

well...I'm going to broaden the subject a bit since I can't contribute to sculpture or even tickling in art......but I can say that I have a documentary about Jackson Pollock in which an art-school classmate of his recalls the two of them studying under a great master, and who would sometimes subtly but intentionally tickle the nude models while he'd be pointing out parts of her to the students. The classmate was an old man by this point, but he was smiling and fondy remembering the tickling! I'll post the clip sometime, I have to edit out of the doc. (you could probably see it on You Tube, it was the one on PBS in the 80s)

There is a picture that does it for me just about as close as anything else I've seen out there. I even incorporated it into a tickle story I wrote: http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?175997-Remote-Control-(part-3)

There is a link (and some others as well) within the story if you care to read it. I hope your will.

My comments are likely irrelevant. But all I can say is that I've seen many nude female statues that I've fantasized about tickling.

And if no one was looking...I often DID tickle them.

Hey Jeff, that's fascinating, 1755, I've always wondered if it ever cropped up over the whole history of art, which of course it did, and you just provided an example. Cute, very cute.

OMG the expression on the girl's face, the one looking over the shoulder! According to Thyssen, we must be some kind of incarnation of the devil
