Sometimes I'm very alert to the naked-factor, and other times I'm too enraptured in the art to notice, "Hey, that guy has no clothes on!"<BR/><BR/>I did not find anything particularly inspiring about Tunick's nudes en masse. To me, it looked like a bajillion naked people all standing in a city square. BUT... I don't know much about the artist or his mission statement. If I look at his work from the angle that all of humanity is stripped down to it's commonalities (flesh and bones) I think he could be saying something profound. But again, I'm not clear on what he's trying to portray through nudity.<BR/><BR/>I will say that the human nude is a form like no other in creation. It is truly beautiful and honorable. I think nudes can be done not only tastefully, but in such a way that it would actually be an insult to drape them. <BR/>Of course, it can also be done in the most base and perverted of manners, can't it?<BR/><BR/>Well, how's that for fence-sitting ambiguity? ;)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498526034591365354noreply@blogger.com
