Nihil Obstat Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Calling that pornography is rather offensive. Edit and warn as necessary, but I highly object to classifying it as porn. Puritans on this site, dude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little2add Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 the notion that women are judged by their outer appearance rather than character, ability and competencies is pornographic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little2add Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I was referring to the so-called nude art work that was posted here. See: A million props for that. In exchange, my favourite painting ever, Chloe, by Jules Joseph Lefebvre: Edited: Classy pornography. - dUSt - As if, you didn't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I posted was art. Nude portrait art in the academic tradition. If that is against the rules then fine, I do not mind the warning and it is your prerogative. It is not pornography. I do mind being accused of posting pornography. There is no coherent definition of pornography that that painting falls under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Classy porn" in and of itself is an oxymoron and carried a touch of levity in the context used The problem with your post was that it was gratuitous nudity outside the context of a serious art conversation in a media and conversation where it may not be interpreted properly by all age groups or potential viewers. You know the title and first meme was a double entendre to tease at being salacious. Not a major offense, but worth editing by some opinion. You may disagree, but you don't seem to think dUSt was completely unreasonable. No need to feel besmirched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one and only concern is calling it pornography. If the word pornography is removed then I am perfectly content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisChildForever Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I suppose one could say it appears a bit pornographic, but is not pornography. That is, a sensual photo or art piece is not pornography per se but the intentions of the person or persons depicted, the photographer, and/or the artist are not entirely "innocent" either. Someone who creates a nude piece is bringing attention to the bare human body, and is likely attempting to elicit a number of things from the viewer, such as awe, sensuality, appreciation of natural beauty, etc. Out of curiosity, are there nude male artworks transformed into shower curtains too? (I am quite happy with my beach-themed curtain, make no mistake!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
