BBC News – New Jersey snow sculpture gets frosty reception.
This is an interesting article from BBC News. It addresses nude art. The New Jersey woman was forced by police to cover up her snow sculpture of Venus de Milo or destroy it after a complaint.
This intrigues me because this original piece of art work was created around 130 – 100 BC believed to depict Aphrodite the Greek Goddess of Love and was highly sought after for it’s depiction of beauty when found in the 19th Century.
What I find more interesting is that the owner of the piece decided to put a bikini top and sarong on it but felt it looked “more objectified”.
My question to you is do you feel that a creation of art, if nude, is indecent and which picture do you think looks more sexualized?
