  16. Exit Slip: What is beauty? • Ideals of physical beauty-male and female- vary greatly from one culture and time period to another. That of the slender Cycladic woman contrasts strikingly with the curves of the Greek feminine ideal seen in the kore of 520 BCE. These early female figures may be compared with later versions of female beauty as seen in Botticelli’s sensuously fluid Venus, Manet’sOlympia, and Rodin’s realistically depicted woman in The Kiss.

  17. Exit Slip: What is beauty? • Curiously, the angular, segmented, two-dimensional body of the Cycladic female figure has less in common with these substantial feminine images than with more modern figures, such as Picasso’s 1907 Demoiselles d’Avignon, and more recently, with contemporary fashion models, whose slim bodies and angular features adorn the covers of popular women’s magazines.
