The debate about whether it is worth attributing the direction "Nude" to the fine arts is endless. Should the beauty of the body be on display or not? Why do some consider the nude genre to be art, while others as pornography? All these questions make one think about the ambiguity of the perception of nudity. So, what is the beauty of the naked body and how it should be presented.
Art or pornography?
Nudity has been an integral part of art for centuries. And this is despite the fact that many people often questioned whether the "nude" genre really is an art.
There have always been two points of view on this score - "for" and "against". Some understand this direction and analyze the work done in the "nude" genre very positively. Others, on the other hand, do not consider the depiction of the nude body to be art and argue that the nudity depicted on the artist's canvas or photograph is already pornography in itself.
In recent years, the "nude" genre in photography has gained particular popularity. However, today the line between nude, erotica and pornography is rather blurred.
So, nude beauty - art or pornography? The answer here cannot be unambiguous. An ordinary shot of a naked woman will not be a masterpiece of art. Such photography will in no way have any relation to art. But if the photographer or artist is really "from God", he will see what others will not see.
This is the art of “Nude” - the ability to present your creation in such a way that the naked body is an object that allows a person to receive aesthetic pleasure, and does not awaken in him only lust and desire to satisfy his physical needs.
Nude body - beauty without embellishment
It is curious that the most ingenious works of art depicting nudity were created during antiquity and the Renaissance. It was during these centuries that the flourishing of culture reached its highest peak. And to this day, the masterpieces of sculptors and artists awaken in a person the thoughts of the divinity of beauty, the greatness of the human spirit, develop in him a sense of beauty.
Artists have painted naked girls and boys from nature before. The relevance of the direction "Nude" is vividly confirmed by the fact that not only paintings have been preserved, but also sculptures depicting naked people.
Whether the beauty of the body should be revealed for viewing or not, they argue to this day. However, undoubtedly, there is nothing more valuable than beauty without embellishment. That beauty depicted in paintings and photographs, which shows a person as genuine, without a mask.
The creators of such masterpieces are aware of the value of their works, because the most difficult thing in art is to reveal the human essence, to show what is hidden from the eyes in such a way that the viewer sees the spiritualized beauty.
