OH, THOSE FRENCH

In a move that can only be described as French, Parisian nude models staged a protest . . . by removing their clothing. Imagine a strike by manufacturers by building stuff, or retail employees striking by selling goods. It all just screams the French anthem “I GIVE UP.”

At issue in this dispute is something called the “cornet” which is something extra paid by the artist in addition to the models wages, the tip if you will.

Maybe The Kodiak Perspective has this wrong, maybe the nudity is not the point of the protest, maybe these nudies refuse to keep still. Keep an eye out for French artwork featuring fuzzy nudes. . . a return to impressionism.
