nudity in art.. email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. shannonjyl (286)   ranked 1 out of 135 in artist5 months ago

i was told at another site that nudity and art should not mix. this left me feeling quite confused because i feel the human form is art and we were all born naked. how would i paint a beautiful woman without showing all her wonders? can you imaging the statue "david" with a loin cloth? i know i cant be the only one out there that thinks nudity is acceptable in art as it does in nature..any support out there?

it's perfectly acceptable in my eye,as long as they keep the different styles separate.
i sell on one of the art sites,and people are always trying to sneak hardcore by.
i have no problem with hardcore either,but 1 wrong pic can get a site shut down.

thank you scarlet_woman for your reply..i did not understand when you said " keep different styles seperate"?
what makes something "hardcore"? can someone be hard core by themselves? i was searching around the web today and saw that hoorid dying dog "crap" and was feeling so much better about my own style..i would love a pm link to see your images:)

i guess i would define as playing with themselves/or use of toys.
the one art site i'm on people try to sneak it in under "g" rating.all nudity is supposed to be under "r" on that site,even something like david.

oh,i heard about that dog-awful.

thanks~
my link is on my profile:)

You have got my support!
happy

I am an artist who creates and sells renditions of female nudes.

Nudity has been subject matter in art for hundreds of years.

There will always be a variety of reactions to nudity in art.
Some people find nudity to be vulgar, so it stands to reason that these same people would find nudity in art to be vulgar.

But, for those who are artists and are art lovers, nudity in art is completely acceptable, as it should be.
happy

Hi. You have got my support too. You need paint what you want and your talent ask for. I'm a artist too and understand what you mean. All censorship is stupidity. Exist many kinds of art; if you like, well. If you don't like well too. So, don't care about that.

thank you teka for your comment and support. knowing that their are still people who believe in quality art made my day a little better.
