Is body oil painting a full interpretation of art or a pornographic sideline?

In fact, in the long years, all parts of the human body have evolved because of the needs of body functions. Before people give them some special meaning, they are just organs that can keep the normal operation of human body and human reproduction.

It is no different from eyes, nose and mouth, or hands and feet. Because human beings have some evil associations with these organs, they are defined as "pornography". We have never seen animals in nature feel "erotic" because they are naked.

Art is also because people give special meaning to things that exist objectively. Maslow, a famous psychologist, divided human needs into seven grades. Humans are different from animals. After meeting the basic needs of food and clothing, we will pursue spiritual enjoyment and entertainment. Art is the spiritual food of human beings.

Therefore, whether human body oil painting is art or pornography depends on the mood of the viewer. Of course, there is no so-called "pornography" in the work itself, and I believe that most creators will not create their own works with such a purpose.

In fact, the human body is also a very aesthetic existence. It is the strangest existence in the world. It is extremely symmetrical and asymmetrical. The meaning of symmetry is very easy to understand. The distribution of human left and right organs is very consistent, so the asymmetry is easy to understand. Everyone will have more or less high and low eyebrows and large and small eyes.

However, this asymmetry also brings everyone their own characteristics. Many recognized great beauties also have their own defects. Artists have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty. Oil painting can explain the beauty of human body to the greatest extent, which is different from "pornography".
