Is nudity art or is it just wrong?

[Phyxius]

I was flipping throught the paper this morning (which i dun normally do)
and it has this article about nudity and whether the author think it's wrong or it's a form of art...
So what do u guys think??!
I reckon it depends coz if its nudity drawing in art or sumthing, off course it's art. Whereas if it's a pic loaded on the internet, i would think that it's a big no no!

[miao]

it depends wut type of art the artist is trying to do.
Like doing those horny playboy pictures i think are a no-no. but i've seen sum naked woman pictures portraying fashion and culture. and i thought it was perfectly fine!
I tihnk it also depends on the age.^^
i guess the more mature people will think it is okie^^ haha

[cinsin]

It really depends on what people think is art and how the author uses nudity for art. But I think that guy that just keeps getting hundreds of people to lay down naked in front of famous landmarks is getting ridiculous, how many times do you need to do it? At first I thought it was art but now I just think that he's doing for publicity reasons.

[vunsin]

If done tastefully for the sake of art, then it's perfectly fine. But if you're talking about a naked woman with a 38H sucking on a banana on the cover of some magazine then it's just plain disgusting. :bigyuck:

[vunsin]

baruch, just so you'd know, my previous post was MY opinion. Mine and mine alone. I can define what's tasteful or beautiful for ME. Feel free to disagree, but please don't assume that I'm saying that I'm representing the rest of the world's population. Must I make that disclaimer everytime I post? And sorry, you can't change my opinion. This is a forum, for discussion, so obviously different opinions will be voiced and heard. Well, you heard mine, I heard yours. No offense. Good day.

[vunsin]

Am I defensive? Probably. First of all, it's really hard to read what you're trying to say exactly with your weird spellings. Second of all, this is only like the THIRD time I've even noticed your posts, so why are you saying I assume you're attacking me everytime you post something? If I remember correctly, the first time I've seen you posted was when you were requesting some songs. I hardly see that as attacking me. As for the second time, quite a few people were offended by your statement about the pic and I'd hardly take it to be directed at me alone at all. And now, I was just saying that most people are subjective when voicing their opinions. Sorry if I've offended you in any way, but when I first read your post, the way your worded it sounded like you were questioning who was I to use the word "tasteful." So if that's not what you meant, I apologize. And I am NOT biased against you just because we have disagreed about something else in another thread. Each thread is different. Is there any other misunderstanding?

[lattae]

vunsin, baruch, cool it... it's just really an exchange of ideas and I am sure both of you didn't mean any personal attacks ya? We're all pals here at jay-chou.net :hugz:

anyhow, back to the topic... I'd say no to nudity being an art... sorry... but I know that for myself... I get some horny thoughts when I see these nude stuff... usually those thoughts will only occupy my mind for a short while (10-20% of the time), and then I'd be back to admiring the artistic value... I am being perfectly honest here... and I am sure many of you will agree with me if you be true to yourself... I mean... are you sure you never thought otherwise when you look at one of those "art"

I consider nudity just the way it is... it's never real art.... cos I feel that in art, you'd have to appreciate the piece as it is... nudity stuff... somehow it causes my focus to shift...

[cowboy]

I'm for complete and total freedom of art. I don't what it is, how ugly it is, how sacreligious, or disgusting, it can be art in my opinion. And something as beutiful as the human bosy should definitely be used as art. I don't care if it is PLayboy, porn, or a "legitamate" nude done by a famous painter or photography. It is a beauty and is all art, so it should not be restricted by the gov't or anyone. If no one wants to see it they don't have to.

There isn't even a morality issue in this question. Whether you consider something moraly wrong, it is not up to you to decide for someone else their morals. Plus, art is in the eye of the beholder, so what is repulsive to one is a masterpice to someone else, so hiow you can you not call it art?

[jayx8318x]

I don't see the need for this to be a poll.
You know...everything doesn't have to be in poll form, so I'm moving it to Small Talk.

I think cowboy pretty much summed it up, it's in the eye of the beholder. I don't see how anyone can just pick yes, or no. It alway depends. To me, I don't see how anyone can define graphic porn as art. However, I consider the nude works of Michaelangelo or Raphael (the Rennaisance artists not the Ninja Turtles) as art.

As long as it's tastefully done and doesn't just serve to help some guy 'get off' then I think it's tasteful. Nudity in movies like Titanic or Elizabeth, I would consider artistic.

[en_en]

i think its art. but it depends on how its done. if its nudity to excite, such as porn, then i think its wrong, well, not necessarly wrong, but if its tasteless porn, then i think its wrong.

[kahel]

As with all art, it truly is as cowboy says "in the eye of the beholder".

The human naked body is indeed naturally beautiful. But I'm really partial when it comes to porn. I think it disgraces the natural beauty of the human body.

[pop]

think its art. but it depends on how its done. if its nudity to excite, such as porn, then i think its wrong, well, not necessarly wrong, but if its tasteless porn, then i think its wrong.

tasteless? wat do u mean by that? :laughing:
anywayz i think nudity in art is not wrong at all
if both the artist and the model agrees then i see no wrong in it
and yes the human naked body is naturally beautiful

[Melvin]

I think it really depends on how its done...
Well for example i don't think porn is art...
But those kind of nudity drawings that serve a purpose is art...
Or those kind of artistic drawings... That's art...
Well it really depends on you. :wink2:

[-dream-]

like most of you have already pointed out, it is in the eye of the beholder, everyone has a different opinion and they all look at things differently, i suppose this is what makes the world so interesting. Nudity to some extent isn't meant for an artistic purpose anymore though. like porn, i'm thoroughly digusted at the fact that all are done for human pleasure.

Some may really be done for art, and i actually do agree that a person is most beautiful when we are just...ourselves, nudity doesn't have to be such a perverted idea, but it's hard to tell by the way the media portrays it now.

But with the lack of morals nowadays, i think it's a fine line between being artistically beautiful and disgustingly immoral. I'm not a fan of these nude painting so pictures, and when it crosses that thin line, it's far from beautiful, to me at least.

[-+my-memory+-]

for my own opinion i believe nudity is art... however using nudity as a form of entertainment [e.g porn mags].... then its just a straight no no... where as nudity alone for creative purposes then yeh... i classify it as art... and in relations with 'masterpieces'....

[Jerria]

yeah i agree with -+my-memory+-,

i also think that nudity is art...
But some ppl in the present days have turned it all to dirty stuffs....but for me its still a kind of art...

[xian186]

If done tastefully for the sake of art, then it's perfectly fine. But if you're talking about a naked woman with a 38H sucking on a banana on the cover of some magazine then it's just plain disgusting. :bigyuck:


38H??? That muz be the largest one I every heard, or seen! :bleh:

[cherily]

oh..actually i think it depends on the person to decide whats art..most art pieces are okay with me though i think that nudity is not really necessary at all..but different people think differently so what might be acceptable to a person might not be the same for another.. :wink2: as long as the art pieces produced arent too absurd and are not porn or anything disgusting..it should be fine :happy:

[L_i__N__g_z]

weLL... rightfully... therez no right or wrong... :happy: depends on wad pple feel abt it... sum... [not so open-minded] might think its :bleh:... otherz think other way round... its all prt of the human body... an art... hmmz... but as for me... i dun feel veh comfortable abt it bahz... :wacko:

[E-Ping]

I agree...it depends on people themselves.Some think that nudity is some kind of art..like filmmakers.Some of the filmmakers happened to feature some of the nude scenes in their movies (remember the Titanic??).And others might think nudity is just so wrong,especially the older generations who are all still very conservative.I personally have nothing against nudity.If they have the courage to appear naked in front of the tv or the cover of the magazines..that's fine.But that doesn't mean i would pose nude though.I'm not against it..but i'm not going to do it.Money is definitely out of the question.

[gr8t_gal]

I was flipping throught the paper this morning (which i dun normally do)
and it has this article about nudity and whether the author think it's wrong or it's a form of art...
So what do u guys think??!
I reckon it depends coz if its nudity drawing in art or sumthing, off course it's art. Whereas if it's a pic loaded on the internet, i would think that it's a big no no!

Yup. I agree. Depends. If it's pornography, then i'm kicking that photographer's ass! But if it's art as in 'art' art, then yeah. SHould be alright. Afterall- wasn't Michelangelo's paintings consisted of nude figures?

[samlovepiglets]

nudity is an art n naked is wrng... tt's wad i tink...

[weibin]

One man's meat is another man's poison :bonk:

[deQi]

...
i understand how it is too see nude
itz disgusting and jus so yucky
pple see it as an art at the same time some see it caz they are pervert
but we shd not see this as noting
we ought to stop it caz itz like lookin as woman's boobs and its like we think of us strippin a woman or something its like molest or rape the gurl
at the same time its like may caz us wat we saw....to do
this shd be :censored :....no seein

[Evenstar]

The art of nude can be mixed with something else if the person appreciating it is a person with some horny thoughts.... :dry: It can be bad, mind you...because having nude bodies in exposed areas can be of different meaning to everyone...and that includes SIN.

[lilmizzaudi]

nudity is a touchy subject :oops:
i think that porn is wrong because that is exploitation of a person in his/her naturality. but nudity in art? that's a different topic. picasso made some paintings of nude people. you just can't really tell that they're nude. or that they're people....

[topghurl]

art is expression right?
so that means it doesn't always have to be.."good"
it doesn't always have to be happy and pleasant ..

nudity, sex (even porn :glug: ) and violence are all part of REAL LIFE
therefore, they are considered to be "art"

[Vicluva]

It depends on what the person modeling wants it to be. if she's modelling for a dirty magazine, than of course it's disgusting and she shouldnt be doing it, but if it's something like a nude calender for charity, etc than it's ok.

[Pugwash]

I have to agree with vunsin however, it's very subjective. Although I may not thinking someone with big boobs, naked and sucking on a banana isn't art, SOMEONE else will. I'm sure the great majority won't perceieve it as art.. I go to an art school and they had people come in, take off their clothes and they had to sketch them or what not (Mind you I'm not in the art program, these are things I hear).

Anyways, my opinion is that when you start modifying your body in various ways, you're purpose isn't going to be an ordinary picture.

[hisashiluv14]

It depends on the context. To go into details will take about two pages so I'll just put it simply.

Nicole Kidman stripping for her role in a play whose name escapes me now; Kate Winslet stripping for film roles; Geoffrey Rush acting naked in 'Quills', etc etc: Art.

Playboy, Internet porn, things along those lines: Porn.

Censorship: Bad.

It's up to your discretion. This is just my opinion. But if you don't agree, don't try to shove your opinion down my throat and push for censorship. Thank you.

[freebird_brown]

nudity art... um... i would say that it's just wrong...
well, i think originally the idea wasn't tainted. but after people can't help but look at it and have bad thoughts, it became wrong. so it's just another example of something that was once fine that became gross.
so i think people shouldn't do it to protect their fellow humans on earth. making porn or whatever available taints our world... people are devaluing sex and getting addicted to porn. i guess nudity isn't the only thing that makes our world like it is. but i still wouldn't support it because i think it harms a lot of people... esp w/ the internet going...

[trishee]

I dont mind nudity art, but i do mind porn, there is a fine line between the two, and i really dont know what it is that determines the difference.

but you can tell between the two can you? nudity art is sometimes beautiful only if it doesnt go overboard. if i does, then i think its porn. but who am i to judge?

i agree with freebird_brown porn does taint the world, i only wish people dont take nudity art the wrong way and get dirty thoughts about it...then it does make it all wrong.

[GuArDiAn AnGeL]

porn...and stuff...i don't think its art really.....if its done that way.....but if its like body art or smt....drawing and stuff like that..i think its okai...i've seen on tv like...all these jewelry decoratings on the body...and i think its quite cool....those i think could be considered art...other than that...i won't really consider it

[ker_ai_teresa]

well, nudity itself isn't wrong :sweat:
but when it's exploited in a sexual manner, then ppl can argue that it's wrong.
as for art....well, art can be very abstract. not many ppl are gifted with the "eye" for art, and not many ppl can understand art or see things in an artistic way.

i don't think nudity in art is wrong....as long as it's not exploited or used as an excuse. also you have to consider the context and other ppl's sensitivities.

i remember a few years ago, there was an exhibition in the Sydney Art Gallery. they had a naked woman sitting on a horse for a few hours each day while some person painted the picture. now that caused a lot of controversy coz the "exhibition" wasn't closed off, it was public for all to see, and i think ppl complained coz well, school children frequent the gallery, and ppl argued whether it was neccesary to make the process of painting the pic, public.

i dunno...i thought that was a little unneccesary. http://sg.geocities.com/adorab1es/smilies/dunno.txt

[lvso]

I think the validity of nude art, like other art, is based on the artists content and style. I looked through a book called "Nudeness" in my art class, and it actually had some very beautiful pictures in it. I think one could even get away with something almost pornographic if they were trying to pose a strong question about today's society. If it's validated through some kind of thought or idea then it's alright but if it's just there for the sake of being there, like Christina Agulera (can't spell that), then it's just wrong. :wacko:

[crusty-applepie]

I also agree with most of the posts here. there are nude pics and paintings that are done tastefully. as long as the subject does not suggest anything sexual and the intention or message of the artist is reflected through his work, i think it is perfectly fine and should be appreciated. some of the best nude paintings that i've seen are those of gustav klimt's. he often paints women in their nakedness. looking at his paintings i really appreciate the female body.

[scarletwillow]

The Fine Line between Porn and Art
Porn: Color
Art: Black and white

[JianDan[Ai]]

haha not always...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/700000/images/_702469_picasso150.jpg

thats a picasso, one of my favorite artists. and yes that is a nude women, which he actually did draw a lot of

the human body is, in general very symmetrical, and is capable of a infinite amount of poses. That is why people learning art try to manipulate this symmetry and at later stages practice twisting this symmetry into the many poses imaginable.

i think that in expressing the human body, nude, it is art. Although porn, is a different category all together, which im sure some people will argue is art, the idea behind porn is basically giving people, usually guys, a fantasy of sex, something all guys crave from time to time. To this extend, i dont think it is art. It does not make one think, nor give a piece of mind that is soothing to the eye. Instead it gets the viewers...um...excited to other means...

[scarletwillow]

I meant photography/films of real people.

Think about it this way.
A nude woman holding a large d*ldo...

Black and white: OMG IT'S A MASTARPIECE OF L'ART!!!
Color: I don't like softcore.

[charmian]

Nah...Nudity is all depends on how you think of it..of cuz it wouldnt be PORN..just for the artistic feel of it..den it should be okie...i was wondering..ppl nowadays take naked shoot of themselves cuz they think tat they have to take the best out of them while they are young..so..i think tat the society is open enough to accept this..so Yea..Nudity for ARt is a Yes for me

[RaspberryTears]

I think that a lot of good points were made here. :)

My opinion is that the grounds for nudity being "art" or "wrong" is purely in intention. If someone puts their effort into something (in this case reproducing a nude through artistic medium such as painting, sketching, photography, etc.), then it's art- even if only in their eyes and no one else's. Whether or not it is wrong is a matter of interpretation, opinion, and the intent of the artist.

Generally speaking, sexual organs aren't profane or dirty. They are a part of the human body, no more or less beautiful and special than any other part. I know a girl who dislikes feet. She finds the appearance of the human foot to be disgusting and offensive. To her, a painting of a foot would be something dirty, something "wrong", not art. In most societies, people are generally brought up to think of these body parts as somehow "profane", if not at least to be kept private.

So, you might ask "how do you define 'wrong', then?".

I define wrong on a case by case basis. ^_^;

Example: If it comes from a porno mag or a website that's writing about its models in a degrading or derogatory manner, then I consider it wrong. If it comes from a sensual/erotic magazine that is respectful of its models, and appreciative of the human body in a way that I don't find crude, I consider it art.

I'm sorry to make such a long (and certainly awkward) first post! I simply happen to be a photographer, so matters like this are usually important to me, and I wanted to share my opinion with all of you.

[msv]

Hey, art is art. How the person chooses to express it, its their own business. If I took two chairs both white and sit it around a tree and take a picture, I'm going to declare that "Oh yeah!!!!! That's art!" And of course someone's gonna be like, "Girl, what's the matter with you? That ain't art! That's two freaking chair around a freaking tree!"

My point? Everyone has their own judgement and opinions on thing. Whether someone considers two naked person "doing it" porn or art, that's their judgement. I think it just depends on the situation and the circumstances and of course, the all-mighty people judging *clear throats* i mean viewing it -_-

[ericheng]

i don't think that nudity is art... i don't get it... everyone has a body yet the difference is wider or thinner, shorter or taller... curved or no curved.. i mean... nudity is no art in my perspective.... knwoing that everyone has a body i don't relly care but i'd prefer it not a part of art...

[SimpleBlackHumor89]

i think its' pretty obvious, the body is an art.. i mean cos there's different kinds, that what makes it so beautiful.. haah i almost sound like a perv.. but humans are born naked... which is natural.. so obviously nature is art... but some take it to tha extreme... and that's no good..

[wkhwa]

Correct, in the sense if you view it as a form of art...
Wrong! if you have dirty thoughts about the things that you have seen...

[lene]

Nudity per se cannot be classified as art or porn. It all depends on the context it's done, the actual circumstances and of course, the audience. I agree that it also elicits a different effect/reaction from each individual, so that's another thing to consider as well.

[kasic_fantasy]

hmm...it all depends....some is quite ok...but some is really ridiculous...i wont say it right or wrong...it depends on what the artist of the work is trying to say...

[Ronaldinho]

of course nudity is art .. if a fat nude person sat down i would draw and him and it would be considered as art

[yukiko]

it depends on how someone's pov. u can see it as an art, but someone who dunno art will see it as a big NO NO!! esp peoples who can't accept nudity as an art.

[Chadd]

I'm for complete and total freedom of art. I don't what it is, how ugly it is, how sacreligious, or disgusting, it can be art in my opinion. And something as beutiful as the human bosy should definitely be used as art. I don't care if it is PLayboy, porn, or a "legitamate" nude done by a famous painter or photography. It is a beauty and is all art, so it should not be restricted by the gov't or anyone. If no one wants to see it they don't have to.

There isn't even a morality issue in this question. Whether you consider something moraly wrong, it is not up to you to decide for someone else their morals. Plus, art is in the eye of the beholder, so what is repulsive to one is a masterpice to someone else, so hiow you can you not call it art?

I totally agree with u cowboy. Art is everywhere and everything around us. Nudity is art for some and if it's not for u then u don't have to look at it. No need for me to say anymore.

[chewy]

nude can b a form of art as well as a type of pornography....it's juz a line of difference away,actually it depends on how the viewer intreprets the picture...
i personally thinks that nude body art is really beautiful...and probably i will consder that when jack drew rose laying naked in titanic is also considered as art....pictures which i dun considered as art but rather pornography r pictures which r taken intentionally and unintentionally of ppl in erotic positions...juz like those found in playboy and playgirl magazines....

[Marvdogg]

yeah it depends.. if its ugly wrinkly people then its not art its just plain nasty.. but if its young and good looking then its considered art..
because its like a flower.. wouldnt u like to c a goodlooking flower at its young and begining to peak stage?

or see a withering away flower thats all crusty and dry

[optictrd]

I think it is ok. I mean its just art. the artist just wants to express him/herself and show the world nudity is not just for the sex it could be expressed in art kind of way and he/she has the freedom to do that.

[oNEgumDRop]

on whether itz art or not. depends alot on the mentality of the person looking at it.
if done in an approperiate way, nudity is indeed beautiful and shld be appreciated.
to me, itz like how sex is viewed.
within a marriage, sex is seen as the special union between two, shared only by that two. an emotional bond as well as a physical one.
however, done outside a marriage, pple see it as disgusting and viewed as a wrong doing..
this applies to nudity. if done and seen in a correct way, itz really somthing to behold.

[princessKitty]

i think it is totally wrong. nudity shown in any form or any shape is intolerable. i mean, there are many other wonderful things you can paint and draw not the naked human body. i mean, what kind of an art is that?adam and eve will probably be the only two people who would aprecciate the painting!

[jiali]

Well.. I feel that it depends on the individual, how it is viewed as.. This is because different people have different viewpoints. It also depends on how the nudity is shown to the public. Many factors are involved!!

[princessKitty]

well, i think no matter how you show nudity, beautifully or disgustingly, i think it is still wrong becasue it is still showing the naked body in that shape.

[jiali]

Well, in that sense, it is wrong to a certain extent. Some people just like to show their talent in that way. *shrugs shoulders* Those artists may sound a little weird, but to them, it's normal.

[princessKitty]

yeah, true i agree, to them is normal. and yeah, i also agree, is there way of showing their talent. but how did they start in the first place?is not like when they were a child and said, mum i want to become a nude painter?
well, i think it develops through education period. maybe they cnnot find any other way to show their talent but to nude paint?

[jiali]

Yeah.. Or perhaps they find this sort of art interesting as it is different from those kind where you draw the sceneries or something.

[princessKitty]

oh well, i guess is just down to the person. is how the person was brought up isn't it?
i was brought up to avoid and ignore nudity so for me, it is wrong but i mean, ain't it wrong anyway?
sorry, i sound like i'm going around in circles.

[jiali]

Yah, that is one of the factors too..
Pssst.. actually, we are! after replying to this thread, we go back to the left hander thread and then come back here after replying to that. hahah. But we're not posting some nonsensical posts here. We're discussing our views! :D

[princessKitty]

your funny!!!lol....
um, ahem, yeah about nudity art, ummmmm...... well, i think all my views have been said. it is wrong and i think it does contribute to crime records of rape and sexual harrasment.

[KendoTiger]

Really? I've never heard of that happening ~

The worst I've seen is people making snide comments because they are immature. *shrugs*

I believe that as long as you have the maturity to understand the presence of nudity in art, then it's not a problem.

[jaychou_21]

I personally do think that nudity is an artform.
It's up to the people whether they accept it as a form of art or just an obscenely lewd devilish act.
The people's perception makes the difference.
Nudity is meant to be a form of art by any means but due to the overtly sexual generation of today,
it has become more of a carnal act and not a form of expression.
Freedom of expression is exercised in nude photos,portraits,artworks and other mediums
but several people think it is wrong. First,it is against the law of God because it is so undivine.
Second,it's against the law of man for it is - according to many - very unhumane.
In my humble opinion,nudity is indeed just a form of art and expression.
However,misconceptions,lack of appreciation and shallow perception towards this issue
makes it seem wrong to the eyes of many. Perhaps thinking makes it so.

[Rurouni[X]]

It really depends,
Cause alot of Models in shots with guys are nude.
Then its a type of Art.
So is Nudist sculptures and Nudist paintings.
But many ways Nudity isnt relaly that wrong.
I guess in todays society Nudity is seen as dirty and in Many countries are illegal. Now its used to make a statment. For instance many protesters protest Nude. Not only does it catch attention lol. It makes a bold statement on how much they feel on the issue.
Nudity as in Pornography is kinda wrong.. not that Men care oO
haha.. im a guy woops..
But in many ways nudity is just a picture.. and a picture tells a thousand words
^^"

[xanimeotakux]

nude art is not disgusting, but intriguing. it's abstract, i don't think of it as disgusting. the way it's painted, the way the statue is posed, i love it all. but i guess some people think of it as inappropriate since they're nude. what's wrong though? there was the same form of art centuries ago in europe..

[khmerchef]

For nudity: there is a thin line between art form and pornography.

Since when is a human's natural form is concieved as something to be shameful of? I don't understand why some would just blurt out and say that nudity is wrong. If it's wrong, should we bathe in our clothes then? Instead of in our "birthday suits"? Let me remind you that all humans were born naked. No clothes, no shoes.....no anything. Are you saying that since nudity is "wrong"....that we were born the "wrong" way? Get what I'm saying?

Now, don't figure me out to be some type of nudist......I haven't even worn shorts yet, because I'm afraid to show my figure. But the way I see it is, if a person is comfortable being nude, it's just the same as a person who is comfortable wearing baggy clothes. The act of being nude is not wrong ....it depends on who is looking. We all know what a naked body looks like, but most people are insecure of the naked form. Some have different reactions and interpretations to nudity. I think that it's pretty narrow minded for someone to just classify ALL nude art forms to be something of the pornographic nature.

In the end: it all comes down to the [I]purpose of this "nude art form". If it's to study the human form(not only for art, but for medical reasons as well)? Then I see nothing wrong with it. But once it is posed, or positioned a certain way for sexual gratification.....then it has crossed the line. And might I add, that nudity does not cause more rape/molestation cases. A person has the right to dress/not dress a certain way. The perpertrator who can't see the nudity as anything more than a piece of a$$, and goes off to commit the act: it is that person(alone) who is at fault....not the idea of nudity. Some people cannot handle the idea of nudity.....which is why we have to abide by the law of indecent exposure....to prevent those kinds of people from feeling the way they do. I know it doesn't make sense....why should we care what others think, as long as it's what we feel comfortable in? But that's the real world, we don't live it alone.....we share it with other people....good or bad...secure or insecure.

[tenshi_dew]

I don't think there's anything wrong with nude art, as long as it's not meant to be provocative in a sexual way. I guess in this time, nudity is portrayed as bad and seen as a sexual implication, but if I'm correct, back in the Impressionistic period, nude paintings and sculptures was a big part of art.

I think nude art is one of those things where some people will find it beautiful and abstract, while some may find it hard to accept.

[zhoudaoyan]

Really depends on the person thats viewing it i guess...
in my own opinion.. i would be uncomfortable. and i'm not sure i really know how to appreciate it haha.

but i could understand how some people would.
so i'm not all "EW"
