(PIC) Pearls and diamonds. Warning nude!

[Truman Prevatt]

What is all this nonsense. Throughout history the human body has been the perfered subject of artist. http://www.ocaiw.com/galleria_niah/index.php . From the realistic (photographs) Manuel Alvarez Bravo to the abstract "Blue Nude" of Henri Maltisse. Let us not forget Edward Weston's Tina!

What have we come to when the works in question are even mentioned in the same sentence as phonography?

What these photos in question are is great photographs! They make exquisite use of form and lines.

Wow! Great work (and model)

And i disagree with DSG - erotic art = fine art != pornography.

Is this phonography?

Thank you very much for all your comments. I posted warning as there is an erotic content. And I am really really surprised that the word pornography appeared in this thread.

I didn't think these were erotic at all. They were nice simple well executed studies of form...nothing else.

That's more or less what i wrote... i.e. that this is fine art and that erotic art doesn't equate to pornography (not phonography .
