Photo-Illustration: Vulture
For centuries, we have used various art forms to admire the perfection of the male form. From the statue of David to photos of Robert Mapplethorpe, rippling abs and athletic physiques have always been the aesthetic ideal. Television is the dominant medium of our time, and artists like Shonda Rhimes, Ryan Murphy, and Greg Berlanti are putting all sorts of shirtless beauties on their canvases. But can you tell one actor who hasn’t eaten a carbohydrate since the Bush administration from the other? Here are a bunch of our favorite works of art with their faces cropped out. If you can correctly identify them, you win. Even if you can’t, you still win, because, well, who doesn’t want to look at art?
