9 Female Characters We Wish We’d Been More Like In High School
Because teenagerdom is a mess, but some people handle it better than others.
All this has happened before...
The Women of Battlestar Galactica, in the Style of Klimt, Bouguereau, Lichtenstein
by Alanna Bennett | 3:30 pm, July 9th, 2012
The art history geek I forgot was hidden in my brain kind of really loves this. Last year it was artist Megan Lara‘s Art Nouveau illustrations of Firefly characters; this time it’s her take on the complex female characters of Battlestar Galactica through the lens of notable artists. And she even cut all the corners off!
The homages are actually a line of licensed posters. The image at left is Six in the style of Roy Lichtenstein. Click through to see the rest.
Starbuck in the style of Tamara de Lempicka…
Gustav Klimt-style Athena and Hera…
Captain Six à la John Singer Sargent’s portrait of Madame X [or Head Six, as the Editor and her BSG buddy called her]…
Laura Roslin in an homage to William-Adophe Bouguereau…
All except the Six-in-Lichtenstein will be available as a set from Quantum Mechanix. The Lichtensteing-style Six will be available exclusively at Comic-con.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
-
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
-
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
-
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
