LUX: Bronzino 1540

LUX: Bronzino 1540 is a "hypermedia work, or ficto-crit[i]cal art history [that] deconstructs, contextualizes and manipulates the Bronzino painting, 'The Exposure of Luxury.' The painting in its entirety is never viewable in the piece; rather, the contexts, characters, and insinuated actions of the painting are displaced and replaced by other contexts, both relevant and fanciful. From Greek Mythology and French Aristocratic Private Theater (salon) to the work of Bataille, Artaud, Fragonard, Watteau, Balthus, the piece touches upon diverse sources as it strives to produce a frivolous body of erotics." -- from frAme
