<p>The purpose of this essay is to examine what can be considered as obscene in the work of Joel</p><p>Peter Witkin and Marc Quinn, what the similarities and differences are. The essay concerns the</p><p>human body, the norms around it and the old vision of the ideal body. To get closer to my</p><p>question Ive been examine the meaning of anti-ideal, what it means and what kind of history it</p><p>has. The works Ive been using to reach to my purpose are Marc Quinns sculpture Alison Lapper</p><p>(2005) and Joel Peter Witkins photography Abundance (1997). Both of the works are taking the</p><p>position that use to belong to the classical beauty. The analysis of these works focuses on the old</p><p>classical symbol interpretation, the character of the work and the doubt in the old ideal norms of</p><p>the classical beauty.</p>
