“ I think it's more to do with changing ideals of beauty. If you look at artists such as Rubens all his women had pale skin and fuller figures. These days the "preferred" look is to be ridiculously skinny. Also have you noticed how the shape of the face of those women is very similar in each picture - the tapered jawline and the curve running from the eyebrow down the nose? Well the same is true today in some respects, our preferred faces may be different in looks but symmetry plays a large part. ”

“ Answering your question I think it`s both. People that we see on ancient paintings and sculptures are mostly from oriental countries, different climate, different epoch, and I believe with all the globalization we are mixing races and they hardly ever did. They were proud of their pure blood. On the other hand I guess if you go to Egypt you could still find some people who look like the drawings in the pyramids. So maybe it`s mostly the perception because after having 3000 years of experience, of learning about different forms of art and cultures. Plus living in the city rather then out in the nature. Showing the faces in this urban, fast, polluted, stressed atmosphere. Ow, I can go on for ages. Have so many thought now. :) ”
