The art of nudity

Nude art, the beauty and the controversy surrounding it. For centuries nude people have been painted, drawn and photographed. We can choose to look at the naked body in a negative way or we can appreciate all of the beauty. Our body’s do so much for us, help us get through hardships, protect us when we are sick, comfort our families, feed our children. I would love to see nudity be more accepted.

Go into any museum whether its the DIA in Detroit or MoMA in New York and find some of the most influential pieces of art by artists we all know and love. Artists like Edgar Degas, Botticelli, Francisco De Goya, Leonardo Da Vinci and the list goes on. I think if we choose to look at nudity as beauty and fruitfulness, we can all take the stigma of nudity away.
