The pornographic industry. Pornography and censored art
There is a sharp boundary between the pornographic industry and censored art. The former has people and sex as its raw material, which is said to generate annual revenues in the millions. Art, on the other hand, is an industry whose raw material is the artist's creation and what he or she uses to express the world around us. So to say pornography or art is one of many differences. But I can't see this stark difference as something legitimate AND that's what I want to talk to you about in this weekend topic suggestion #149 from @weekendendexperience.

I'm going to do this with a story, I went out to an art exhibition and found beautiful pictures of photographs with nudes; the most interesting thing about this is that most of them are not about slender, thin and stylized models as we are used to see. These are beautiful women who exhibit their forms, which for some is not neat, but this rarity is what makes the difference in this type of photographs, here the theme is the nude.

The professional photographer? The artist of this exhibition is Jorge Luis Santos García and he called his works Series: Triad Females. I marveled at his photos and when I got home, I immediately looked up his coordinates on the internet, I was very surprised to see the photos censored, that is to say with a censorship notice in which the artist had to place the symbol of the network, just in the places that were reflected in the photographs that are considered censorship, ie in the vulva, nipples etc.. Then all the comments of the controversy of limiting the expression of art in social networks and in the same the interpretation of establishing the difference between pornography and nude art.

Pornography is a very commercial industry that offers adult entertainment and is associated with sexual arousal and is mostly interpreted as a dissociative act like prostitution in this way it impacts society in a negative way, as it is believed to link sex with violence and workers in this industry, also believed in many cases, are exploited by the industry, this may have to do with the meaning of the word also porn which comes from "porné" or prostitute and "graphein" which is to write or represent.
Artistic nude. It is a representation through the arts (sculptures, paintings, photographs), which has been accepted as a representation of the beauty of the human body, it is considered a reflection of life, however, it can be pointed out in a complex way, according to the cultural values of the context to which it can be submitted.
A female nipple, a vulva, a female or male butt, even if it does not meet the standards of aesthetics, its exhibition is having controversy between some and other networks on the Internet, and may be considered or who knows if used as a pornographic promotion, all this is a possibility and my way of seeing this issue.

Que bonita exposición, me gusta como lo planteaste y el artista, le felicito por reflejarnos tal cual somos, sin etiquetas, reales y lástima que tenga que taparse algunas áreas intimas.
Gracias por traerla a la comunidad.
I believe in legitimate and natural art. Thank you for reading me @florecitamejias
It is a very thin line that lends itself to misinterpretation, because it all depends on the eyes that look at it.
For me, nudity without morbidity is art.
A controversial subject, that you knew how to handle, thank you for sharing your reflections.
Una experiencia bastante peculiar, me gusta el enfoque que le das. Saludos.

El margen que existe entre el erotismo y la pornografía, pudiera parecer abismal, pero está emparentado con el criterio que tenemos sobre la estética y la moral humana. Es decir, nos parece bello, y por tanto, respetable y digno de consideración la figura de un animal superior; como un gato o un perro; incluso una ardilla. Pero jamás una rata o un insecto (a menos que sea una mariposa). Igualmente, sucede con la consideración hacia la pornografía (que tiene géneros, y divisiones) y el erotismo, homónimo y tan humano como la misma lujuria y necesidad de apreciación del goce y la estética que poseemos como especie.
What strikes me about the artist's work is the disruptive nature of his photographs, he breaks with the perfection and perfect corporeality demanded by the culture and shows the beauty behind the natural. Maybe my body is not perfect in the eyes of culture, but it has a human beauty. Thank you for your comment @freakshow90

@rosahidalgo It is interesting your approach, everything is with the glass that you look at it.that the expression of the artist you mention is censored if it is a real obscenity. That in these times the beauty and expression of a nude is censored seems to me hypocritical and retarded.
