Painting nude is hooliganism? Is it stupid or bad to prohibit art students from painting naked?

Body art has always been an important part of art, especially in the history of western art. World-famous works, such as Raphael's Adam and Eve and Michelangelo's David, belong to human body art, but because human body art has always existed in the form of nudity, there has always been a debate about it. Opponents think it is immoral or discriminates against women, while supporters think it is a compliment to women's beauty.

First, the debate is not limited to the fact that body art originated in the Renaissance. At that time, people thought that literature and art were highly prosperous in the classical times of Greece and Rome, but declined and disappeared in the dark ages, and should be revived with people as the center, because in ancient Rome, people respected the bodybuilding of the human body and thought that the most beautiful thing in the world was the human body. If a person has a strong body, it will be looked up to by everyone. So many artists put their creative direction on body painting and sculpture. Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, Goya's Naked Maha, Manet's Olympia and the well-known brokeback goddess Venus all belong to this category.

At that time, the Pope saw it and thought it was immoral to cover it up. Later, with the popularization of culture and art, this phenomenon began to decrease. Although there are occasional covers in western society, they are immediately ridiculed and accused by many people.

Naked sketch has entered the classrooms of China fine arts colleges, and it has become a teaching method, which also started from quarrels. ? 19 14, Liu Haisu, then vice president of Shanghai Institute of Graphic Arts (predecessor of Nanjing Institute of Art), opened a sketch class for mannequins for students majoring in western painting, but no nude models could be found. At that time, no one wanted to come out as nude models even after spending a lot of money. Later, after many efforts, he found a mature model.

At that time, the social attack on nude painting was fierce and overwhelming. Some students and teachers were once detained by the authorities, and even the storm involved the political circles at that time. At that time, politicians had been exposed to overseas art education, and after considering the national conditions at that time, they treated the matter coldly, and did not support or encourage it.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some people painted nude pictures for students in the Academy of Fine Arts and wrote a tip-off letter to Zhongnanhai. After receiving the letter, the state leaders wrote a memorandum in July 1965, expressing their views. He said? This matter should be changed. Drawing nude models of men, women and children is an essential basic skill in painting and sculpture. It is inappropriate to ban feudal ideas. It doesn't matter even if something bad happens. I am willing to make a small sacrifice for artistic discipline. Please make a decision. ?

Nowadays, nude painting teaching has been widely used in domestic fine arts colleges and has become an important method to cultivate students' basic ability in fine arts. However, after a hundred years of development, nude painting is still debated for the same reason for a hundred years. The times have turned upside down, but some old things that should have been replaced by updates are still deeply rooted and beyond everyone's imagination.

Second, colored glasses.

Once nudity becomes art, it is the most sacred, and once morality becomes hypocrisy, it is the most obscene. Some people object, that is, to look at body art with colored glasses. Suddenly they thought of a joke. A couple is looking at a work of art, which is a painting of a naked woman. The important part is covered with leaves. When the wife saw it, she immediately turned to leave, but the husband stood there for a long time and refused to leave. The wife grabbed her husband's ear and said, you have to wait. In fact, many people, like the wife in this joke, think that human body art is unsightly, and staring at painting art shows that there are bad ideas in their minds.

As for some people who think this is an insult to women, it is even more funny. In the history of modern painting in China, there was a famous female painter named Pan Liangyu, who was a visiting professor of art at several universities in Paris at that time. She studies western painting. When she paints a human body, she paints herself in the mirror. Later, when these exhibitions were exhibited in Paris, in order to avoid being disturbed by others, she did not paint herself. But many people around her recognized the model as herself from behind, but no one looked at her with that bad eye. Many female scholars praised her paintings for fully expressing the beauty of women.

In fact, many art students who are engaged in body painting for the first time are full of excitement when they see nude models? Finally can practice, full of shock? Because the beauty of the human body under the light is so shocking that it will be full of all kinds of troubles? Human body lines are too difficult to draw. There are few nasty thoughts, because they know that this is beauty, the most shocking beauty that God has given to mankind.

I wonder what you think of body art?
