In the process of attempting to build my portfolio and develop different styles of art, I ran into an issue. What is an appropriate form of nudity in paintings? My personal opinion is that nudity in art is beautiful. I enjoy working with the human form as the curves and intricacies to the body far surpass the complexity of any other subject.
Other people may not view nudity the same way as I do and that is where I have run into this dilemma. What is the difference between the classic way the famous artists have portrayed nudes and today’s interpretation? The woman’s body and the way society portrays sex appeal has changed.
I do not want my art to be ever seen as raunchy, but what the viewer takes from the piece is something I must come to terms with as an artist. This issue has motivated me to play with this idea of nudity in subsequent paintings. Stay tuned and notify me of your reaction.
