From Goya to Fellini: The Importance of Breast…

Breast, a symbol of femininity and nurturance, has been a subject of fascination and significance in various artistic expressions throughout history. From Francisco Goya's evocative portraits to Federico Fellini's enchanting films, the depiction and exploration of the breast have transcended mere physicality, capturing the cultural nuances and societal dynamics surrounding this iconic feature. Goya, a celebrated Spanish painter from the late 18th century, prominently featured the breast in his works. Through his keen observation and masterful execution, Goya portrayed the female form with remarkable delicacy and sensuality. In paintings such as "La Maja Desnuda" and "La Maja Vestida," he celebrated the natural beauty of the female body, including the soft curves of the breast. Goya's art challenged the prevailing norms and expectations of his time, and his emphasis on the breast undoubtedly played a significant role in his bold and provocative style. Moving forward to the mid-20th century, Federico Fellini, an Italian filmmaker and visionary, continued to explore the complexities of the breast on the silver screen. In films like "Amarco” Fellini employed his unique cinematic language to navigate the themes of desire, pleasure, and vulnerability. Through artistic endeavors, artists like Goya and Fellini have challenged cultural norms, shattered taboos, and provoked thought about the perception and treatment of women.

Iconic Breasts: A Look Back

In today's world, the significance of the breast remains relevant and multifaceted. It stands as a symbol, an icon, and a mirror reflecting the ever-evolving concept of femininity and its place in society. Artists and creators continue to explore this theme in various mediums, using it as a tool to question societal norms, address taboos, and challenge cultural perceptions.

The contrast between the covered female breasts in Western society and their association with eroticism poses a thought-provoking question. It is an intriguing phenomenon that begs us to delve into the motives behind this cultural norm. Equally captivating is the growing movement advocating for the desexualisation of breasts. These contrasting perspectives shed light on the complex interplay between societal norms, gender, and sexuality.

Western society's covering of female breasts can be traced back to historical, cultural, and religious factors. Historically, societies have imposed various dress codes that reflect their values and beliefs. The sexualisation of female breasts might stem from the instinctual desire to control and limit the female expression of sexuality, which has often been deemed threatening or taboo by patriarchal social structures.

However, it is essential to note that the eroticisation of female breasts is not universal. Different societies have diverse attitudes towards breast exposure, highlighting the cultural relativity in determining what is considered sensual or obscene. In many indigenous cultures, for example, nudity or the partial exposure of breasts is often normalised and not necessarily regarded as erotic. This highlights the arbitrary nature of associating eroticism solely with the display of female breasts.

The motives behind those who challenge the sexualisation of female breasts are equally compelling. Desexualisation advocates argue that by normalising the exposure of female breasts, society can combat the objectification and commodification of women's bodies. This movement seeks to create a more inclusive and equal society by challenging deeply ingrained norms surrounding female sexuality.

But, this topic is not without controversy. Critics argue that desexualising female breasts may undermine individual autonomy and choice. They fear that removing the erotic context could flatten the richness and diversity of human experiences. Moreover, they assert that sexual attraction is an inherent aspect of human nature and that embracing the erotic nature of breasts should not be equated with objectification.

“The question of why Western society covers female breasts and their association with eroticism is intriguing. Equally fascinating are the motives of those who want to desexualize them. During her performance on the 12th at the Sonorama festival in Aranda de Duero, Burgos, Eva Amaral, a Spanish singer-songwriter and member of the group Amaral with Juan Aguirre, exposed her breasts. Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain on August 4, 1972, Eva Amaral studied sculpture at the Zaragoza Art School and while studying, was the drummer in the band Bandera Blanca.

It is unclear if this act would contribute to preserving the dignity of female nudity, which is what she claimed while revealing her breasts. This act was akin to some avant-garde works that require an explanation. The truth is that the singer's discussion of her breasts in such detail led to some interesting reflections, despite the ease with which she spoke about it.

The maestro Cuartango, for instance, has used this as a starting point to validate the connection between eroticism and modesty - there can't be one without the other, no matter how much Amaral may seek to persuade us otherwise. He has also reflected on how the excessive amount of flesh in modern times, rather than any deficiency, has led to the decline of eroticism.

Enrique García-Máiquez has commented on those who believe that exposing one's breasts provokes anger in many individuals when, in actual fact, it barely offends anyone. He also highlights a trick some people use, similar to when during an argument, a person says, 'Don't get nervous,' which, despite being said to a person who is calm, only exacerbates their already calm demeanor.

On the other hand, Sergio del Molino has suggested that Amaral's breasts are not irritating just because they are exposed, but rather because they represent a particular kind of excessive celebration and enjoyment of life among the 'pijoprogre' group that is intolerable to some disgruntled individuals.

In my opinion, the buxom women in Sorrentino's movies expose their breasts joyfully, in contrast to Amaral's exhibition which seems more vulgar and provocative, annoying some people. The Biznaga sings of the champions of nothingness. It is futile to fight against a non-existent threat, which is the absurd idea that women should be allowed to take their clothes off when there are already hot women in lingerie on marquees and networks, and we send a girl in a thong to Eurovision.

Amaral, like many other women, supports the desexualization of female breasts and considers them to be equivalent to male breasts. Her argument is probably based on the fact that if Iggy Pop's partner can sing while wearing only a torso, why can't she do the same? In fact, she can and has performed in that manner, but let's not dwell on it.

The question of why the female breast is covered in Western society and its relation to eroticism is intriguing. However, it is also thought-provoking to explore the reasons why some people want to desexualize breasts. Could it be because they see the breasts' attraction as oppressive? Is it because of a form of egalitarianism that sometimes borders on the absurd, attempting to treat the different equally? Or is it because of a superficial modernity that values subversion as an end in itself? I wonder genuinely.

Moreover, I wonder even more genuinely. I am sincerely curious. Moreover, it seems hypocritical when someone claims to desexualize female breasts but then displays cleavage just for others to consider one attractive, irrespective of how much Amarales argues otherwise. Therefore, the crucial question is whether we are ready to relinquish the influence that our breasts provide us, a topic that made feminist Camille Paglia unpopular with feminists. This power, albeit unconsciously, is noticeable amongst all of us, especially those of us with a bust size exceeding 90…
