A previous article, simply titled, “The Nude Body in Art” is one of the most viewed posts on this website. It is therefore prudent to ask once more: Why is there so much nudity in art? The nude body in art had a special place in history, but there’s a new relationship to the nude body — as well as art itself — today. The history of the nude and of western art itself are, actually, the same. Art of the nude body was a necessary production in order to get in touch with the instincts, but in the new context today, there’s a different relationship to it.
