Goya's Maja



These are the two different versions. One nude, one clothed. Fornes doesn't specify which might qualify as "aesthetic," but the postures are the same. ("taking in the weight of her entrails").

In Julia's monologue(pages 33-35), in the bedroom, she is hallucinating. Throughout her hallucination she experiences an arrange of emotions. It is when she begins to discuss what it means to truly be aesthetic that her once heavy demeanor switches to become more lighthearted. Shortly there after, she becomes disgusted when she thinks of Ruben's women, that are far from physically perfect. She says they are "not aesthetic. Flesh."
