Re: Semi and Nude Art

Rehab
Art is in the eye of the beholder
I won't argue with that

If it's given snob value it becomes inaccessible
And I don't think that's right either

But Tracy Emin is an artist who deserves better critique than people demeaning her and the "unmade bed"

She is a woman from a working class, very difficult, underprivileged background who has had to learn to "speak" Art
You should take time to read her annotations in her sketchbooks..there you see the relentess quest, the vulnerability, the passion, the obsession, the sheer bloody mindedness of a very normal (despite evetything), young(ish) woman. I admire her guts and she is not without talent and huge statements.

Re: Semi and Nude Art

I think she is the biggest con artist out.
She has done very well with IMO very little talent
She has produced AFAIK nothing of substance at all.

Re: Semi and Nude Art

Nothing to do with the very obvious fact (now re-established) that this forum has made it quite clear that it has absolutely no appreciation of art and condemns any nudity to the level of a dirty postcard.

For an adult forum to treat its members in this uninformed uneducated and patronising way is pathetic.

I am/was working class, I have often left a bed unmade, it’s not art.

Re: Semi and Nude Art

I have always liked Modigliani's 'Reclining Nude' and not just because it's worth £150M. I have always viewed nude art as erotic rather than pornographic.

Obviously, as a man, I get what you are saying. I can see pornographic images in my bathroom floor tiles.

I suppose also, it depends on the subject. Not all nudes are sexy.

that made me chuckle my mirror agrees, not all nudes are sexy, nor are all unmade beds art.
