At the end of the day, I come to Metafilter for the high class butts.

William Etty painted this, among many other fabulous bottoms.

Pretty sure #4 is a knee, not a butt.

why is every art related listicle written by a 23 year old who took the one required semester of art history and clearly was asleep for most of it

and yet that doesn't even compare to the gross misuse of the modifier "bubble". like not a single Rubens to be seen

Honestly I was hoping for The Case For Columbo to be the Toast link du jour...

I couldn't even get to the pics because I was too distracted by Ghostery's list of the 39 trackers on that site, which is some kind of new record in my experience.

Those were ok but the real gold on that page was the link to http://metropolitanmuseumofbutts.tumblr.com.

I would have at LEAST thought there would be Rubens.

Etty would truly mark the writer as a connoisseur of fine art donk.

That is an assiduously curated collection.

This was much butt-er than what I was expecting to see.

Photo from The Metropolitan Museum of Butts.

Oh, yeah! I'd so take a tour.

I heard it closes early--you have to get there on time and get crackin' if you're gonna see it all.

Really? I thought it was kind of scraping the barrel of the bottom.

Kind of was expecting young Shatner's bottom.

Still, in the end, not disappointing.

I've been saying for years that the secret of art history is that it's mostly looking at pictures of naked people.

Also, for this bunch, Modigliani wins. As he always does.

I don't think it'll ever have a notable place in the history of art, but there's also this fountain by Mário Cravo in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil.

For a second there I thought it said Crapped from The Fall of the Titans.

None of those butts even come close to this sculpture by Fernando Botero in Madrid.
