I think of the nudes as seed pods, like flowers or grasses. They are universal bodies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had a natural feeling for sculpture, and the nudes are my sculpture.
I have this obsession with pea pods. They're just really nice to look at. They can be perfect.
Men's magazines often feature pictures of naked ladies. Women's magazines also often feature pictures of naked ladies. This is because the female body is a beautiful work of art, while the male body is hairy and lumpy and should not be seen by the light of day.
We still have this prudish, puritanical culture, but we also have so little exposure to a diversity of bodies. Bodies are beautiful and great and compelling.
Look around for a place to sow a few seeds.
No nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even if it be only the faintest shadow - and if it does not do so it is bad art and false morals.
I find nothing wrong with the naked body.
Wild flowers grow where they will.
The humped bladderwort has yellow, snapdragon-like flowers, and it's actually carnivorous, capable of trapping and eating not just insects but even tadpoles and tiny fish.
Any nude is a something you setup in front of the camera.
