Some art galleries really don’t cater for the likes of us, do they? I mean, we were in the Guggenheim in Venice during our holiday, and wandered over to Giacometti’s wonderful “Woman Walking”. It was displayed pretty much from the angle shown in the following photo:
Behind the sculpture was the wall. Indeed, it was so close to said wall that it took a fair amount of craning to see the rather lovely “Buttocks of Woman Walking” – which, sadly, I can’t find anywhere on the web to share with you.
What a waste! After all, the sculptor had clearly gone to so much effort to craft one of the most delightful bottoms imaginable – and it’s lost from view. Something should be done. Anyone fancy contributing to a fund to donate a revolving pedestal on which it could be placed?
Never mind, obviously such a skinny woman can’t have interesting buttocks!
If one looks, one can find artwork that appeals to the spanking crowd. I live in Chicago, and I found this gem at our own Art Institute, “Cupid Chastised,” by Itialian artist Bartolomeo Manfredi (1582 – 1622):

I first saw this during my early adolescence, and, even though at that time I was learning that I’m gay, my love and desire for all things bare bottom, especially discipline, had been with me ever since I became self-aware. And that first viewing of this painting gave me an instant erection.
