Are you trolling? I don't find nudity in anything unacceptable, especially art. If you don't like it, don't look.

I think the only people bothered by nudity are modern puritans. I have so many religious relatives that love and talk orgasmically about ultra violent movies. But, any nudity and the movie is pornography. I don't get it!

People are so hung up over the dumbest shit.

I have lost track of the number of nude art works I have created. This is me signing an aquatint etching.

I have no problem with nudity in art, and almost no problem with nudity in general.

Why not be nude? Why not display nudity? I love nudity in art as do most artists but when it comes to curating, I have to be very careful as to subject matter. In most situations, everything has to be family friendly. Most people do not consider nudes to be family friendly because of the conditioning of society.

Art is wholly subjective.
What one person likes, another might find abhorrent.

Nudity is a natural state of being, and unless someone is being threatened with
physical assault, isn't that big a deal to me.
If I don't want to see it, I don't have to look. Simple as that.

In another life I posed nude for photographers and a drawing class, so...

Not just in art ...given that the birthday suit has no buttons nudity should just be seen as natural. Unfortunately, it has been commercialised and thus monopolised by some industries.
I remember taking my daughters (Australians) to Germany and we went for a swim at a small lake. As we got out of the car my daughters almost pushed a scream: "Daddy look!"
I didn't see anything extraordinary.
"They are all naked."
Indeed they were and "they" were people of all ages and sizes none of whom would have been elegible to pose for a glossy magazine.

It's fine. I'm ok with nudity in advertising/public like in Europe. Puritan based anxiety over pee pee parts is idiotic. Normalize so it won't be so scandalous.

Why should anyone consider it unacceptable? It is simply a depiction lf reality.

No. Nudity is natural, there is nothing unacceptable about it.

Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST died for our sins on the cross wearing nothing but a loincloth and possibly a thong or g-string under that. Is that offensive or is it the most beautiful act of naked compassion of all time?

On second thought, the most beautiful act of naked compassion was when a girl named Heather did me after a Xmas party back in 1982.

Forget I said anything.

No. Censorshiip is unacceptable.

I don't think nudity is any big deal. We were born nude, and beign nude is our natural state.

I find it ironic that if a painter uses a photo as a model to paint a nude. the pairing can be displayed with few problems, but the photo form which the painting was derived could not. Those are general publishing rules as well as the rules on Facebook. That is nude as in showign fronal nudity or showing female nipples. Somehow male nipples are fine to display. I heard on on photographer sho photoshopped male nipples onto a female subject and actually got aroudn the rules.

Anyway, due to religious influences in our culture(s) we have been taught to feel ashamed, gulty and afraid of nudity. Most people have a poor body image as a result and a poor body image also generally results in lower self esteem and self worth.

I was taught all that nude is bad stuff too, but I got over it and am now a naturist (nudist). Leaving guitl shem and fear about my body behind is a wonderful feeling. Naturism/nudism is not about sex, but just beign comfortable with who you are.

If you find nudity in art offensive you might not want to pull in my driveway or enter my house.

Welcome back. I trust the Victorian Era was left just as you found it...

No - I went to art college and we had nude women and men as life models to draw - Interesting. I also did some modelling myself semi nude lying on a couch with 'tasteful' coverings but breasts and legs on show an din provocative poses - Quite good fun but wouldnt want it as my day job.

Not at all.

Similar to atheism, it is how we, the human animal, is born.

Nope. No problem with nudity whatsoever. It's natural.

The only way that painters like Hieronymus Bosch could get away with painting nude bodies was when they depicted scenes of "hell and damnation" which were in accord with the teaching of the Catholic Church. I can only imagine that Hieronymus Bosch had a fielld day. Many, if not all religions are sexual regulation societies that focus on repression and control.

I don’t care one way or another

The better question would be: Why is Nudity in Art often accepted as something beautiful, but Nudity in real life is consider indecent???

IMHO clothing was another way for the clergy class to control people. People wear clothing as protection from the elements but the creation of rules and regulations as to what to wear came from the need for a ruling class to regulate their subjects, to put them in their place of subjection. Perhaps it is time that people can decide for themselves what to wear and what to look at.

I remember as kid reading about the "Mapplethorpe exhibit" in Chicago I think. The paper didn't show any of the work. Many years before I saw any. I do recall the decision by the jury which I kinda recall. They agreed that to them (the jury) that it was not what they considered art. But experts, those that study and taught about art. Agreed that met the standards. So the jury agreed as well. I like surrealism. But not for everyone. Nudity is just another form to me.
