NSFW: Classic Paintings Get Modern-Day Makeovers With Photoshop

From changing curves to brushing out blemishes, to even changing eye-shape, when it comes to photoshop, we’re pretty sure we’ve seen it all. Photoshopping your appearance is a controversial subject but Senior Photo Editor for TakePart, Lauren Wade, has taken it one step further by imagining what it would be like by altering the classics. “While the conversation about the media’s portrayal and obsession with an unrealistic and unattainable beauty standard is not a new one, I think it’s crazy how much retouching people don’t notice” she writes. “Over the last five years, having done many of the quick, subtle fixes that are the industry standard myself, I know that even an image considered to look “natural” is anything but. “Of course it hasn’t always been that way. Throughout art history, painters from Titian to Rubens to Gauguin found beauty in the bodies of women who would never fit into a size 0”. Here are  six classic paintings of women that have gotten a modern-day makeover - which do you prefer? 1. Titian, Danaë With Eros, 1544 2. Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, Grande Odalisque, 1814 3. Raphael, Three Graces, 1504–1505 4. Paul Gauguin, Two Tahitian Women, 1899 5. Sandro Botticelli, Birth of Venus, 1486 6. Edgar Degas, La Toilette, 1884–86 We have to say that we definitely prefer the originals… (GIFS via Take Part)
