Artistic Nude

Sat Oct 14, 2006, 6:08 PM
I am a strong promoter of the nude in art. I believe that the body is a beautiful thing, and that it does have a place in our culture. Similarly, I don't have a *problem* with pornography, though I cannot be listed as a promoter of it. What I cannot stand however, is pornography that tries to market itself as art. Poor quality webcam shots of nude females in very provocative poses, which only exist to 'get a rise' out of people, if you'll pardon the pun, irritate me. A friend showed me a gallery full of such images, and erotic though they were, they didn't belong. But the sad thing is, nobody cares. These non-art pieces, which are low-quality too boot have more favorites than any of my pieces will ever have. I don't pretend to be an amazing photographer, particularly good with any of the editting software (which is in severe need of an upgrade), or even a passable poet, but I feel insulted when pieces like that are lauded by young males with over-active libidos, who then encourage the poster of such images to continue posting them, while honest artists are trying to become better at what they do and gain a little recognition without needing to put photos of naked females in their gallery. I would love to post images like that, because I have some good ideas, but I don't want to NEED to post them to be recognized by the community. I want to have a little bit of recognition as an artist, and some guidance from better photographers before I start doing that so that I can actually produce pieces of artistic merit, and not masturbation fodder for adolescent males.
