“Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife,” Zuckerberg announced to his 14.5 million followers.

The sculpture is by Daniel Arsham, a New York-based sculptor who makes everything from giant Pokemon cards to NFTs of Porsches. His work has been featured at some of the most acclaimed museums and galleries in the world. (Last month, he was also accused of violating federal law for firing an employee who supported a workers union, according to a complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board. But that’s another story.)
The Hellenistic style is beautiful because their ability to depict fabric draped over the human body was second to none, literally fucking incredible, I can not describe how incredible it is to get a sense of how you can make the feeling of ultra thin see-through fabrics in a STATUE.
This monstrosity on the other hand makes her look like she’s wearing a curtain rather than a lightweight piece of fabric. It’s terrible to compare it to the Hellenistic style. It’s so bad it looks like water instead of fabric.
The only reason I can come up with for doing it this way is prudishness. He or the artist was afraid of the nudity that the ultra-thin fabrics style depict. She looks thoroughly covered up compared to the Hellenistic greats. Even the ones that were largely covering up the woman depicted were less prudish than this, look at how the fabric wraps her leg:
Seriously I go to see these statues to stare at the fabrics. Complete mastery to pull it off in marble.
Zucc’s commission doesn’t come close
Cuz he commissioned a hack with a 3d printer.
