Artistic Nudity

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Freedom of expression is everyone’s privilege. It is our right to express what we have in my mind or to freely express our actions. Artistic Nudity is an example of this wherein they can pose in nude, but not to display indecent or foul pictures. Nude poster is done in the name of art and not for any other reason.

Expressing what we have in mind is one of the major ideologies of posing for these nude posters. In the time of the Renaissance, painters like Michaelangelo appreciate and praise nude artistic paintings, simply because they are focusing on art and content and not on what the picture or painting is trying to implicate. They believe that nude paintings are indecent and immoral. They are only trying to show the beauty of the form and body of humans, especially women. As you can see or notice in their paintings, women always have a special place or theme in their paintings. A common example of a famous painting showing nudity is The Birth of Venus. These painting showed Venus in nude, yet its subject doesn’t focus on the nude perspective but on Venus’ birth. Nude paintings are one of the historic subjects when it comes to art that is why it was given importance by our prolific painters of the past, and also, the present.
