Nudity in art has been around since the caveman days. The stick figures drawn on cave walls were the first nude drawings. Since those days, art lovers have been fascinated by and drawn to the nude form. (Especially us males with that of the female form.) To me nothing compares to the beauty and grace that God gave the female form upon creation. Size does not matter in art nor should it in life. The ideal of the perfect proportion human form is always changing. What is hot today is not tomorrow. I am not all that keen on the whole size double zero thing. I like the female form to have some curves to it and not bones poking out all over the place. Tattoos can also distract the viewers' eyes from the natural travel of the eye over the form.
What is an art nude to me or you? My thoughts are that the form should be the main focus. The piece of art should say something to the artist. In my own work I hear "Beautiful". I hope when you view my art work you hear something similar.
