I mean it's Totally unsuitable for public viewing. :mad:

Square's naked sculpture revealed

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Why?

I think it's very interesting, and it certainly challenges our idea of 'beauty' and 'femininity'.

It more 'art' than anything that silly girl Emin has ever produced.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Certainly an interesting piece of art!! Nothing wrong with it anyway!

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

personally i think its disgusting.
its just another case of political correctness gone mad.and another case to prove that the morals of this country are in the gutter.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

I remember this lady on "Child of our Time". She herself is an artist of some renown. No problem at all for me, and for all those who knock modern art as incomprehensible here is something truly representational.

But for my mother not collecting her prescription that could have been me.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Looking a bit more at the pictures of the statue, and I wonder if it's the deformity that makes it 'unsuitable' in your eyes?

Try to imagine the statue with arms and normal legs. It would then conform to the 'normal' standard for a sexy, pregnant woman.

I can't see how the disability takes that away from her.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

why put it in trafalgar square,if its modern art put it in an art gallery not in a square named after one of this country,s heroes.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

The Fourth Plinth has never had anything on it. This statue is one of 4 that were specifically comissioned for the plinth.

That's why it's in Trafalgar Square.

Furthermore, one might consider the woman's heroism of living a 'normal' life despite her disability.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Here here never a truer word said ! it's just there to please the pc brigade.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

That's just nonsense.

It would be so easy for someone to suggest it was an insult to the disabled, or to women.

There's nothing politically correct about showing that beauty and femininity are about more that 2 arms, 2 boobs and 2 legs.

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

Now there's a sobering thought....... :erm:

.....and this is? :rolleyes:
Why can't we follow other European cities and have sculptures of beautiful things/people.........a heavily pregnant armless woman falls outside that description for most of us :erm: Why do we need to make a statement? Why can't we just have something uncontroversial for once? :(

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

So tell - what's so 'disgusting' about it?

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

they should stick a statue of blair on that plinth, it would give the pigeons something better to crap on :erm:

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

my cousin is severely disabled he lives every day of his life in a wheelchair yet he is not classed as a hero and nobody wants to put up a statue of him.

just because this woman is disabled is no reason for putting up a statue in trafalgar square

Re: Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth
 

A temporary statue - only there till March next year.

Then they're putting something truly horrendous up there!
