But was ''show the natural, nurturing, non-sexual side of breastfeeding'' the purpose of this art-expression? Did the artist intend to make an educational object or was he making an artistic statement of any kind? Perhaps it was the sensual aspect of breastfeeding that he wanted to picture.
Picture-Google for ''breastfeeding statue'' and you'll find dozens of pages with women in all stadia of dressed or nudeness and breastfeeding or otherwise lactating in all sorts of ways, practically non of them quite educational and with lots of odd attatchment styles.
I rather like this one of breastfeeding twins, because of the styling, the lines in it. When I want to teach I have way better pictures.

Really disappointing! The mother looks unnaturally stiff and not at all
nurturing. She looks very unhappy and hard. I read that the artist did not
have Jolie sit for the statue - perhaps if he had Jolie pose, or even
another mother in her place, he may have been able to portray some of the
interaction and emotion of the subject.
It is such a shame as a statue like this could really help the cause of
breastfeeding in public (well apart from the fact that the statue is nude)
but I don't believe this statue helps show the natural, nurturing,
non-sexual side of breastfeeding.

Is it just me or is it late and I need to go to bed, but would any of you
be worried about a mom looking so glum while watching 2 babies nurse? Pat
