George Clooney was asked by one journalist: Are you women-feet's fetishist? Actor answered: Well... Fetishist, perhaps not, but the fact that woman have feet is very important to me... Perhaps the same reasons have had Adolph Mezel, when he painted his own leg. This painting can be viewed as a painted caricature of Realism. The German artist used the canvas to criticise the new direction in painting, whose adherents preferred everyday, and sometimes trivial, subjects, to literary or historical themes (Menzel himself generally painted more exalted subjects). Here he decided portray a leg, a symbol of tryviality... But throughout this example we should think also about men's feet in some more friendly manner...
