Images of Manipulation


This one is rather obvious to see the manipulation so I think it is a nice starting point. This was created as a mock advertisment. But even without the photoshopping of Ronald McDonald, the original statue "David" has an interesting history of manipulation. His head and hands were both chosen to be sculpted larger than is accurate. Michelangelo definitely knew how to scupt, but he knew the statue was intended to be seen from far below, so he exaggerated the features to make them more visable.
