[quote=GUESTHOMAS,359468]The human torso - male and female - has been the model (and inspiration) for artists' works for hundreds of years; painters and sculptors from the Renaissance Period such as Michaelangelo, Da Vincci to American painters like Thomas Eakins, Leon Kroll and many other great European artists have produced great fine art on the nude subject, male & female. It is not common in Asian culture for obvious reasons; so this Taiwan Naked Ballet would be controversial for the general public; who will worry about the "nudity" aspect rather than the artistic value. It is a natural reaction because the level of art appreciation is generally very low in Asian cultures as compared to the West. Art, like food, is a matter of personal taste; whether sexy, or artistic, it would be better to leave it to the audience to accept or reject. Mind you, even critics and connoisseurs of art do not agree among themselves sometimes. As for me, artistic renditions of female nudes offer more appeal and attraction than photographic images... tell you why in another episode.[/quote]
