The Female Nude: Art, Obscenity and Sexuality

Product Information

When we think of the nude, many of us may carry in our minds a classical image of the heroic, sculpted bodies that dominated 19th-Century art, but as Paton points out, “the nude is actually an ever-changing and endlessly contested form”. In many ways, contemporary portrayals of the naked body differ vastly from Victorian works, but there are also strong similarities. Here is a painting that religious morality would doubtlessly disapprove of! Underneath this charming spectacle is an incestuous scene, a kiss between Venus, the goddess of beauty, and her son Cupid, the incarnation of love. Provocative, unseemly, disturbing… There was no shortage of words to describe this scene that goes against all morality.

Is there really a difference between the naked and the nude? According to art historian, Kenneth Clarke, there is. He said that while the nude is an idealised body that appears to be comfortable appearing unclothed, the naked is a body that has been exposed and deprived of clothing. The exhibition features examples of both, but Paton believes Freud’s work lies firmly in the naked camp. “He called many of his paintings naked portraits, and there’s a sense that he’s letting us know that the painting is telling a raw truth about what it is to be human and have a body,” he says.Calls to boycott Net-a-Porter and MyTheresa after luxury fashion platforms axe Israeli fashion designer Dodo Bar Or for 'posting video comparing Hamas to ISIS'

The De Morgan Foundation collection has some incredibly skilled examples of Evelyn’s process- she draws the figure’s naked form first and then creates sketches of the figure draped/clothed. However, that Evelyn, chose to create a number of paintings featuring nude or semi-clad female forms is a bold statement for a Victorian female artist.

In fact, among the paintings that have marked history, many are nude paintings of bodies, more specifically naked woman. We can take as an example Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, Courbet’s The Origin of the World or Modigliani’s Reclining Nude. The nude genre can be assimilated to a large number of pictorial subjects, the most famous including Matisse and Ingres’ “odalisques”, Renoir’s and Cézanne’s “bathers” or the “Olympia” of Manet and Magritte.

This striking female nude is one of several painted by Amedeo Modigliani between 1916 and 1917. Beyond the reclining figure’s apparent gracefulness and tranquillity, the painting presents a radical reworking of the conventions of figure painting, which still retains some of its original provocation today. It was a ruling that was at once both infuriating and satisfying. The majority of complaints focused not on the unclothed female body, but on the pink fan held by the figure, which the Guerrilla Girls had modified so that it became unmistakably phallic. It proved a point the group had set out to make: the public is comfortable exposing female bodies, but the same doesn’t apply to the male form. “It is arguably the most influential nude created in recent decades,” says Paton. She recounted the making of one of her favorite photos, of two boys whom she happened to meet on the street one day in Senegal. “One of them told me, I’ve never done anything like this before, but I’ve learned so much today. He said that was a day he would never forget. We had created something, he felt included in the process.” Flirty and playful vixen Simon Kitty stuns everyone with her seductive body in Never Leave My Bed S4 E16 From the Renaissance era onwards, nude paintings began to lose their iconographic character and became valued solely for their aesthetic and sensual qualities. During this period, the rediscovery of Antiquity and an interest in plastic beauty led artists to value the nude itself, which became a key source of inspiration. Artists painted the human body using live models while respecting proportions. They took up the ideal body invented by the Greeks, yet added a more realistic male musculature.
