In my own opinion (before I post the paintings) it's actually not about the nude but what the nude represents .............Basically something to hang the folds of the silk on. The painting itself is about the silk and the light playing off it.

so how say you ? am I allowed to post it? I can't see an artists forum here so I won't know where to put it.

Now I just wanna see it because it's caused controversy.

It better be good to cause two seperate threads in about 3 hours! (or bad, depending on how ya look at it)

I go to another place sometimes and they have a way for people to follow a link that leads off site that is pass-worded. You have to get the password sent in a permission email from the original poster to view it.

I only say this because I know my younger sister can come on here and if a younger sister can then so can a younger brother. I don't think itâ€™s a good idea to have access to pictures of naked women for just anyone to see. I don't really want to be surprised with it when I open a thread.

Just my opinion, but am a very junior member here, and don't have much say.

I support your opinion. I have two small children I wouldn't want to see it should it show up on the homepage or something.

It seems to me that if someone says nudity (and I have discussed this with another forum member) you all immediately think something like "Hooters'?

What's with that ?

For the record I would not at any time ever in the history of my existence refer to female breasts as "HOOTERS" nor do I believe I ever have to be quite honest...I couldn't think of anything more tacky and outlandishly piggish!!!!!!!...

And for the record as long as children get respectful insight as to what sex is supposed to represent I see no problem in allowing them to view other parts of the human body so long as it's not intended for pornographic reasons and to be quite honest(<------I've been being quite honest lately...:wah:) I believe the integrity, or lack there of, of any given situation shows or doesn't show through any given said situation...

If a nude portrait has been depicted as art, then it's just that, art.

*Edit* In fact, I trust in fuzzy butt's confidence that she'll show us an outstanding piece of art...

I'm looking forward to seeing it to be quite honest(<------There I go again...:rolleyes:...:wah:...)

fuzzy butt;1038291 wrote: Hoss I'm not being pedantic here because this trully does interest me .

Your sister? does she view artwork? and if so does she view nudity in art work.

Is this request because you've had contact with the model yourself? Or do you think your sister would not understand that it is art.

plus I'd also like to know if nudity in the great masterpieces of the world offends you? and would your sister be offended if she saw it?

and I'm also wondering what you think about life drawing classes and have you ever tried to draw the human form yourself?

I've sat in many life drawing classes and draw the figure presented to me............what do you think of me for doing that? do you think I'm a voyuer for doing this ?

for example do you know what "foreshortening" is? would it offend you if I offered to draw your sister's form? and why would it offend you ...........(in saying that i'm meaning i hope she's over 16 if not delete reference. )

................................................................................................................................

Lon I'm not an exhibitionist i just don't have another model.

I would really wish people didn't turn it into that . You lot want to see my serious side? i'm offering you a opportunity to do so . I don't think art is a joke ....especially my own.

I am not offended by nudity, pornography or art it it's proper context and place. I am curious as to the mind of those that wish to share on a public forum their particular artistic endeavors. Why not email to interested parties?

Sex hadn't had anything to do with art...It does have everything to do with the minds who view art from which I'd said specifically as long as children get respectful insight as to what sex is supposed to represent I see no problem in allowing them to view other parts of the human body so long as it's not intended for pornographic reasons and to be quite honest

I'm not an artistic person, so I cant comment on what is good or not. But having read the thread, it may be a better thing to only show those who would appreciate what you have done babe. By the way, I have seen the statue of David, and the paintings in the Sistene Chapel, and although I am no artist, I was amazed how complete Michelangelo (think thats how you spell it) captured the human form.

You have a real problem with women projecting themselves in your life. why would you even venture a comment on this thread ? unless to assertain some kind of moral ground. Or to assertain some moral jurisprudence over me.

And yet in another thread you complain that the stars of the show do not readily portray themselves to you? ....................I'm beginning to understand why this is .Oh get of your high horse, He only asked a question.

Firstly can I request it be my right hand I draw... :wah:

I'm amazed by the opinions about the human body on here, I was bought up in a prudish household that gave us all hang ups. I've got over that now as an adult and am working hard to make sure that my children don't end up with strange views of the human body and how if you see nakedness it is somehow wrong or crude.

I wouldn't have any objection to my children seeing this artwork at all.

I would also love to see the statue of David Meg, I bet it is beautiful, there we go another long term goal for me to set.

Because I can just hear it now!

then the ultimate "Hey nana, my mom let me look at naked boobs"

I thought you or someone else artisic posted some of their drawings in the last couple of years, maybe not... maybe it was some other site..

I say you should just post them in position of post 2 rather then 1. Folks that are interested can open it and folks that aren't won't see it on the home page..

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Wed Oct 29, 2008 6:32 am

I agree this is the most comfortable way to display the picture. This isn't an Art Gallery or a Museum. It is a family forum that needs to be aware of that. We have to respect the wishes of members, some are paying members. The LINK is the best way to accomplisth this.

I did a paper on the various Davids in college. Not much an art guy myself, I came to really appreciate the intricate work the artists did. How they can make stone flow like silk in the wind is fascinating.

I think you're expecting too much, Fuzz. Not everybody can appreciate the nude human body as art. Even those that can might not be able to be artistically objective when they know the person inside that nude human body. I gotta say that the idea of looking at a friend's naked body makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, even (or maybe especially) when that friend requests it - no matter how artsy fartsy I'd like to appear.

As an occassional visitor to this forum I must complain about the gratuitous display of male reproductive organs in the previous post...:-3

'Accountable' I should say you will be accountable come judgement day along with all the other purveyors of titillating pulchritude we see everyday in our news and advertising. :yh_wink

Im sure fuzzybutt was not going to display anything we have not seen before.....and in the best possible taste.....but just in case she is an exhibitionist of the worst order and feels the need to flash her bits hither and thither....a link might be the only decent solution....lest she causes consternation amongst the FG membership :rolleyes:

To answer your initial question; no. Then again, we haven't seen the artwork in question and until we do, that's a difficult question to answer as art and pornography have historically been considered to fit in the same categories, depending upon the specific work. In other words, it depends.

However, having said that, as with most art, it's already been done and there is a precedent here on ForumGarden of a member posting a nude self-portrait. I say that it's okay. If anyone questions that, precedence overrules.

You're attempting to compare two things here, one of which you haven't even seen yet. A simple question for you, how do you define art?

I would be interested in viewing your picture because it also represents how you perceive yourself. Draughtsmanship is merely a technicality.
