"Nudity is one of the most important aspects of art" If this were true most art would be nude. I think you are confusing a subject with element. Elements of art are things like symmetry, shape, line, texture, color, etc. Those elements may be in a painting or photograph that contains the nude human form - but art is much bigger than some tattoo'ed girls bunghole. Nobody is sitting here talking about contrast or unity, rhythm or motif., shape. symmetry of redundancy. I have no objection to the images if you tag them - but god.. stop fooling yourselves.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
most art is nude. most mainstream art is not.
That makes no sense. How many songs on the radio are nude? Or do you not consider music an art? "Most Art" cant be nude if most "mainstream art" isn't - follow that logic.
according your logic blind people should be offended of nude, of course there is such thing as pornographic music... I will paste you some examples here.
I was calling into question your statement that "most art is nude". Are you trying to be philosophical about it or are you saying that most Art is of nude forms?
...but why not talk "about contrast or unity, rhythm or motif, shape, symmetry or redundancy", here?
I've stared at a dew drop before for what felt like an eternity and in that seemingly eternal, "blissed out" moment, I was convinced that the secret of beauty was revealed to me: seeing a thing without mental conceptions.
As @denvermax said in her previous comment, "it is what your mind makes it." With an innocent mind, or a mind "turned-off", I'm more than certain that we can see all the beauty of intricacies that you speak of (symmetry, shape, line, texture, color) and, more importantly, be filled with the sense of beauty, here, in these pictures.
Of course, it's also natural for a heterosexual male who's predisposed to be attracted to a certain "type" or "form" of female to be aroused by such photos, even if their mind is "cleared", but that's natural and beautiful too. It all comes down to perspective and, unfortunately, 99 out 0f 100 people are living in a seriously mutated reality that mixes ideals with truth...I'll add "in my opinion", here, as I don't have actual proof that my numbers are anywhere near accurate.
I think most of what you say about art/ beauty has to do with ideals, many of which may not even be your own. Perhaps they were conditioned out of your education and upbringing.
In truth, beauty has very little to do with thoughts or concepts, it's something that just "happens" and the conditions which instill such wonderful feelings and insights don't always make sense to the logical/ rational part of the mind, from which you're attempting to define art.
Art appeals to the aesthetic porn appeals to the erotic.
And what do you call it when something appeals to both at the same time?
Artistic porn?
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/erotic-art/#DefEroArt thanks for confirming that this is actually art, erotic art by definition. stop fooling yourself because you are ignorant about art definitions, smh btw I seen your great photography, lol.
Im glad you "seen it" . Did you even read that article? I am talking about categorization of content i'm not criticising your content per se. But thanks for the schoolyard bullying - sorry my content doesn't live up to your sky high standards.

"Your focal point doesn't change throughout the shoot (its not her face). This isn't about aesthetics or emotion... Its bad porn. To everyone out there who thinks this is art - I'm the wallet inspector...,"your comment not mine. I did read it, what did you read the first few lines and move on? and yes I have high standards and am I highly skilled artist. School yard bullying isn't my thing but what are you even talking about categorizing? the tags are appropriate. I honestly don't see your point
You know what man - you are right - I should have made a post of my own if I wanted to discuss the categorization of media or the "definition of art". I really didn't think about the guy behind the camera... You just made that real to me. My apologies - seriously.
