Nude art - your opinions

[SirSolaScriptura]

It depends. The nudes in the Sistine Chapel do not illicit arousal like pornography, The David statue is a seminal piece of art, and so forth.

It depends on the spirit of the artist. I have seen Venus de Milo or Bare Breasted Justice (French) and there is nothing erotic about them. But I have seen Venus paintings that have her beckoning to her bed in art class and Donatello’s David feels very homo-erotic to me in its style.

Ultimately, it depends on if it makes you stumble. If it does, stay away.

I personally do not gravitate to nude art, even the masterpieces I mentioned. I prefer Impressionism (Van Gogh), Realism (Rembrandt), and fully clothed people in art.

I will say the line between erotic/porn and expressing the beauty of the body God has made is a fine line and it usually is easy to tell by how artist poured their intent into the piece.

Personally I don't consider topless to be naked. I mean, when Eve set about making
herself some rudimentary clothing, she limited the deign to what might be called
the bottom half of a two-piece play suit.

Since you can't see what I say...

Could somebody ask him for chapter and verse on this assertion?

Like those African ladies in the National Geographic up in the school library when we were in junior high?

Well actually Eve was full naked, so was Adam. God even said, “who told you that you were naked?”
