About Shapely Women

Shapely Women (est. 2008) celebrates women in art by focusing on the diversity of women found in classical and modern artwork. For nudes, please see our companion site at Shapely Nudes.

Our pictures tend toward the curvier side, with a lot of paintings and some sketches, sculpture, and old photographs. As of May 2011, our collection is mostly of white women, so we're trying to bring in a fuller sample of women from all backgrounds. If you've got representations of women with heritage from Asia, Africa, South America, the Middle East, and elsewhere, please send to shapelywomen // gmail // com, along with any other comments!

Other tips: 
* If it says "from," Google the whole picture for more.
* Use "Ctrl +" to zoom in on the page or "Ctrl -" to shrink your page view.
* Click on the post title to leave a comment.
* Click on the image itself to see a full size popup. Seriously. This is nice. 
* If you're an artist who features women, send us a sample in keeping with the style of this blog, and we'll add it with a link back to your site!

All the best,

Celia at Shapely Women
