I have posted this on a social networking site and I think it is relevant enough that I should include it here.
people have commented and replied to this post so it would be added on as more people participate.
What is the difference between nakedness and nudity?
I always thought that nudity was tasteful, the rude bits are discreetly and strategically covered up with drapery.
Nakedness to me implies a no-holds-bared expose of everything.
In other words it is pornography to provoke lust. The nude has always been controversial and that there is fine line between nudity and nakedness. Nudity is sublimating desire for physical perfection and beauty into art while being naked in feminist terms is very confrontational. It is being militant in in-your-face protest about carnal desire for sexual meat or a political comment on the commodification of women's bodies.
As the Guerrilla Girls asked, 'How do you get a woman artist into the Met? Get her naked!'
In the case of Orlan, her beauty is truly beyond skin deep, well scalpel deep.>>>>
