Be serious, for most people anorexia is hardly “ideal”. The perception of anorexia as beauty is called body dysmorphic disorder, and is a mental illness. It’s true that the fashion industry promotes hyper-idealized body image, but they are hardly “unattainable for people with healthy eating habits”--if anything, the eating and exercise habits common today are atrocious and anything but healthy. Obviously anorexia is not a good thing, but the fact remains that the percentage of people who are grossly overweight from unhealthy lifestyles far outnumber the people who are anorexic from body-image issues.

the point of them recreating the paintings was to show how fashion has destroyed the viewers of “self-image”. Its not to create a piece of art, but to create what young teenagers see and want to become. I would never pick the recreated paintings to be “more beautiful” than the originals. Paintings are still about beauty of human flesh, but thats not the point of this theme. Bones and hair loss and depression are not very flattering, yet fashion has totally taken over. I hate what the fashion industries have done to Real ideal body image. Healthy,externally ans internally, apparently is not “ideal”. : (

Beautiful sample of Romanticism Fine Art . Any way , I don’t understand why did the artist decided to create models in anorexia disorders .Oil Painting should rather be about beauty of human flesh not ugliness . Apart from that I personally would waste my materials to create any woman in that way ,even for $900,000 or much more
