There may well be practical arguments limiting what style of nudes are posted but it is a limitation that cuts off a good deal of what is real and conversely includes much that may be superficial and that is a real issue. It is probably more than 20 years since I have painted a nude so it is not a burning posting issue with me but when you consider Degas, Renoir, Klimt and Shiele all of whom produced their greatest nudes in less than classic poses I do wonder what we might be missing in the work of artists here. What is the reason for the limitation - practical or misplaced morality - I would like to understand?
