Description

Tony Moy painted two full pieces then collaged them into one, slicing the beauty to reveal the horror beneath. It appeared in one of his art books. I don't know whether it's been published elsewhere; Moy couldn't recall either. He posted this piece on Facebook with this quotation attached:

"Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist--a master--and that is what Auguste Rodin was--can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is . . . and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be . . . and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body."
Robert A. Heinlein,
Stranger in a Strange Land
