‘As we have it the bust of Nefertiti is artistically and ritualistically complete, exalted, harsh and alien… This is the least consoling of great art works. Its popularity is based on misunderstanding and suppression of its unique features. The proper response to the Nefertiti bust is fear‘ — Camille Paglia - Sexual Personae; art and decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson (1990).
How weird. Just got out of history class learning about Nefertiti and she’s on my dashboard. Felt I should reblog.
