it IS a very well done composition and a bautiful pic - naturally, the even face of a child, undamaged and unchanged by life, soft and innocent contains a lot of beauty.
however the fact that this child is probably not even 9 (judging from the head-shoulder ratio, even taking into consideration that she could be extra fragile) and is wearing more makeup than some profesional models (what many people have not mentioned is her eyebrows) does bring up a lot of negative connotations such as:
Pedophily
Child porn
and the general oversexualisation of children which are yet far from the age of sexual maturity
yesyes, i know tons of people will come kicking and screaming now, because i´m only jealous and whatnot.
sorry, that´s not the point i´m trying to make.
this is of course harsh criticism and i dare say, it will not be welcome with many.
please try to view this artwork differnciatedly, come away from art for arts sake, brainlessly loving aesthetical things that contain ambiguousity deep down. ...or not so deep.
i am not implying that you, dear artist, who created a nice composition, are any of those things i mentioned above. what i do believe, is that art comes with some degree of responsibility and that it is impossible to be viewed apart from topics that are contemporaryly going round the world.
i dare also say that since this has been published without any statement (except for the implied love song, even more ambiguous?), i´m well within my rights to post these critical thoughts, so thanks in advance for not jumping down my throat.
