Truly
Dangerous Images
Most of us
have fairly definite ideas about what makes art and what is pornography.
The images themselves are deemed worthy or smutty based on their content
and our reaction to them. In some cases we see generalized statements about
the nature of pornography, that the images contain only parts of the women's
bodies, or that they are airbrushed into doll-like perfection. On the other
hand, art, and especially art photography, is supposed to represent the
whole person, and give some insight into the nature of the subject and
the artist beyond simple surface appearances.
Can pornographic images be redeemed and made art? |
Be Careful, this next slideshow may cause feelings of discomfort.
Some of the images used on
the redeemed nudes project were collected from internet news groups.
They are used here under
the fair use provisions of copyright.
