I have been reading posts here for more than 2 years so I believe I do understand the purpose and scope of this forum. You are of course perfectly free to establish the parameters where you want and that is not in question. My point concerns the wisdom from an artistic point of view saying that certain 'classic' poses are tasteful and that non-classic poses are not but also I question the value of the term tasteful given its moralistic tone. I personally find non'classic nudes by Degas, Klimt or Shiele (and countless others) more human and profound than the artificial poses found in Bouguereau and others and I think it is a shame to say to artists here that they can ape B but keep away from Klimt or others.
Have a Nude section or not, that is your right but if you have one why censor it and potentially deprive us of great work? Again I repeat that I have no nudes to post and have no plans at present (or the space) to paint one so this is not me bitching out of personal interest or desire to shock.
