Why do so many people question body art?

There is a saying:? There is no lack of beauty in the world, but the lack of eyes to find beauty. ? However, people have different understandings of the word beauty. Some people think that the statue is art, while others think that it is just a broken stone. A cultural relic, a tomb thief thinks it represents money, cultural relic experts think it is priceless, and ordinary people may think it is just a worn-out object. The controversial body art also lies in that people look at it with different eyes. On the surface, the controversy of human body art lies in human body, and its boldness and nudity are unacceptable under the restriction of traditional concepts.

First of all, what is body art?

Body art, that is to say, understanding beauty, exploring beauty and harmonious beauty with human body as the medium, is a process and behavior of self-discovery and pleasure. In fact, its scope is very wide, not limited to nudity. For example, dance, rhythmic gymnastics, aerobics and body painting that we usually see belong to the category of human body art, but in the field of art, we often see some nude paintings of human bodies, which is also because artists need to use human bodies to express some thoughts, concepts and emotions in his works. Body art first appeared in the 1960s. In fact, artists think that the human body is the most beautiful natural art in nature. Nature is the best creator, and why humans naturally grow into such a shape is a question that artists are very interested in. They think that the natural aesthetics displayed by the human body is very intoxicating. Thousands of people, different people, are recorded by artists through different body language, demeanor and expressions, and people appreciate the emotions expressed in their works. For example, David and Venus in famous works express their strength through the beauty of lines, and shape the beauty in their hearts through the reverie brought by incompleteness.

Second, people need a correct aesthetic consciousness to perceive beauty.

1 10,000 years ago, it was the Paleolithic Age. The ancestors of human beings painted their understanding of nature on the walls of caves. Those simple paintings include not only animals, but also their hands, buttocks and other body parts. Known as the greatest work of art of mankind in the cave period. Whether people can correctly understand and look at their own bodies requires people to have correct aesthetic consciousness and noble moral sentiments. Some great works show the different rigidity and flexibility of men and women in a straightforward way, and even hit people's hearts directly, giving people a shocking aesthetic feeling. But if you look at it with vulgar eyes, then the famous works may become obscene paintings. The pure possibility in the artist's mind is incomprehensible vulgarity and vulgarity in the eyes of ordinary people. Because of different ideological levels, the understanding is different. This is also an unavoidable reality. Perhaps most body art is not generally accepted by most people.

Third, human body art is mixed.

There is considerable controversy about the existence of human body art not only between artists and ordinary people, but also among scholars. Some scholars believe that this kind of alternative art should be more tolerant, but artists should consider the acceptance of the public. Some scholars also believe that this kind of art is contrary to the public moral concept, and there is no need to promote it at all, and it has no value and significance. Some people will do some shameful things under the banner of body art, which also intensifies people's acceptance of body art. Until now, most people still can't accept such things. This is the contradiction between art and morality, and it is also the struggle between nobility and filth. True beauty is pure and flawless, but truly filthy people must see the darkness reflected in their hearts, and such people cannot see beauty.

In short, it will take a long time for human body art to be accepted by people, and there are more voices against it than in favor. If it wants to develop, it may need more tolerance. This is not the art of ordinary people, and naturally it cannot be accepted by the public. This is also human nature.
