Nudity and Art
So let’s get straight to the point. Nudity. Nakedness. Nekkid. However you want to say it, people get strange when the clothes come off. I was reading an issue of The Artist’s Magazine a couple years ago (a pretty terrible magazine by the way, I wouldn’t recommend wasting your money on it…explanation to follow in an article some time in the near future), and someone had written into the magazine that they thought nudity had no place in art and that she (I think it was a she) would do with the previous issue what she did with all the other issues in her collection that had artwork featuring nude models…paint clothing over the freaking models! So she could pass her collection down to her grandchildren someday.
Well. Allow me to get into how many different kinds of wrong that is.
