Great art will always offend somebody. It is a brave artist who puts up work that he knows will be controversial Women are most "objectified" and least respected in societies where they are most covered up Would you find a woman in a burqa objectionable? Sent from my iPhone So, how would you like a nearly naked guy in the same pose?
I agree with the other women here that it is offensive and degrading. The photo is not about a person and doesn't tell us anything about her. It's only about the costume and attitude which are both offensive to women.

Indeed! Personally I think she's adorable and so is the outfit. And I'm old enough to remember the pin-ups of the 40's. Betty Grable anyone?

As I mentioned................ I was going after the pin up style of the 50's.
Anything more that YOU may read in to is not my problem.
