Gaga Shell Bra (left) Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus c.1455
Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus depicts the goddess of love, born out of a seashell, as a fully mature woman. She is shown as being very promiscous and is representing a sex symbol of some sort. In this day and age we can compare her to the modern Lady Gaga in her new music video, Applause. She is dipicting different works of art throughout her new album, Art Pop. Gaga is seen as a sex symbol in this image like Venus. Lady Gaga is an music artist who is constantly referring to art as an influence to her music.
