New FB Group to Support Nudity in Fine Art

The human body is one of the most beautiful and amazing things in all of creation, and there's nothing wrong with tasteful celebration of this form in creative ways!

Join up if you Support Nudity in Fine Art.

Check out the first topic of discussion and share your view: Mere Nudity Vs. Explicit Behavior

An interesting group, though I feel like this debate was settled in the Renaissance or earlier!  Let's see if we can stir up some conversation on Facebook.

Cheers,

Ben

Now Today May 17th. 2010, /

I heard on the TV tonight,  / Scientists, are saying,  / soon people. will be making / babies, without doing it. / having / SEX.

There're those who /  HATE, Women, and SEX, / so much, / they're willing to go to extremes, to / prove it.

Therefore, / The GREAT NUDITY IN ART DEBATE / will continue.

May b e,  " S u r r e a l "  was,genuine  N u d i t y,,   i  n   ART.

M a y be, " EXpressing w a s "  to undress " " ONE-self ",,; t o  b e able to B E " surreal i n A R T "..

When Abstract EXpression, U can not see "the  N A K E D" .because it i s openED highly -;,NAKED too m u c h -.& .U can not see ,theNAKED because U really are the Naked U'r-self.U ARE N U D E..

S O, " N U D iTY "  i n ART;  N e e d S  to  BE  " b o r n " first..-give a b i r t h  to the paint,(4 the paint  i s the b o d y of the n u d e)..T h a t means,,y o u do n o t need to,,draw things,,on the canvas first to be able TO, paint them..( drawing first indicates the " l i n e of birth " to b e focused ON to establish the BODY of, CHiLD's; the BODY ,the paint..)

......instead, pour the Paint totally on the canvas,- a s the t o t a l  BODY of a CHiLD at ONCE - and then with a " SPATULA; - The sharp EDGE of the BiRTH - c o n t u n u e  the Sharp EDGE to give  S h a p e  of the CHiLD,;.................(L i n e  driven w a s made b y  S p a t u l a s K n i f e;  b u t; U can not s e e,  " "THE  CUTs",,  & No " Scars ",,no lines, on a painting..)

W  e   are A l l, c o m i n g   from the path of  B i R T H;  so  W e  are all   N U D E;;  and W e DO not N e e d  to see " The NAKED "..driwen 4 OUR EYES..( for it is H i s t o r y in the past, that ;" w e are naked ",, 4  we  a l l   W E R E  BORN N U D E;  " O N C E "..

S  o  this  w a s; t e l l i n g;    4         ;ART is  " i m p r o v i s a t i o n "      a   t       "   O N C E   "..

(,,,,,,,,,,,whatever " y o u r  PAiNT ",,th e  BODY is..i  n   ART  DO i n G s.)

as you read this forum, you are nude, clothed yet nude...cant escape that one. Beauty, of course has nothing to do with what is being seeing. Beauty, is an expression of what you just cant put your finger on....so say that its beautiful,,,say that it is profound. So is the nude really beautiful...well not really. What are you looking at other than what appears as the past?. No, the body is not really here...only looks like it. Is it beautiful...you could say so...does'nt mean anything other than fantasy.

And this is not a matter of opinion, this be very similar in wording...a wording that comes from observation. Whos the observor?...the same one as what is seen to be beautiful. A small tip...take everything further and dont stop, dont get concluded by what you see, what you've been told by an one including your brain....and record this. Its known as 'art'.

I am fully with you - I have infact written and article on Nudity and Art

Do you want the naked truth?

Sure nudity needs to be born but not to exist.

I think that we cant describe" naked representation "by" art." Personally, I always thought that art is behind reality, and beauty is not what we see but above all is what we think and change. For exemple, we dont need to see each other to judge or criticise our works, our works proves our existance . So`the body` in art is here we like it or not.

As someone who prefers to work in the ABSTRACT, rather than in the nude, I'm not sure I see the urgency of this discussion. As stated earlier, this debate was settled a very long time ago, and anyone resisting nude art today has to be very right wing. I would also argue that FORM is the key, not nudity. But this point was also settled a very long tome ago - the debate was called 'Modernism'.

Conflict  between  R e l i g i o n & A r t..  

Religion owns nature  4 " G o d "  has  created.. can we say ARTistic creation i s not from G O D..

L e t 's  say; I  do  make   a   B r e s t   from  m y  chin   -using cut & paste-  ...Then this " brest " of ART is not the B r e s t of R e l i g i o n..

T h e  meaning  o f  " C O N T E M P O R A R Y ";  i n   A R T,,  has to  b e  ,something like   T H A T..
