Is painting a nude a hooligan? Is it stupid or bad to not allow art students to draw nudes?

Body art has always been an important content in art, especially in the history of Western art. It has world-famous works such as Raphael's "Adam and Eve", M. Angelo's "David" is a body art work. However, because body art has always existed in the form of complete nudity, it has always been controversial. Opponents believe that it is immoral or discriminatory against women. Supporters believe that it is immoral or discriminatory against women. This is a compliment to women's beauty, and those who oppose it are extremely stupid or look at it with evil intentions. 1. The debate continues

Body art originated during the Renaissance. People at that time believed that literature and art had been highly prosperous in the classical era of Greece and Rome, but had declined and disappeared in the Dark Ages. They should be revived and centered on people. , because in ancient Rome, people respected the fitness of the human body and believed that the most beautiful thing in the world was the human body. If a person had a strong body, everyone would look up to him, so many artists focused their creations on human body painting. As well as sculptures, Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus", Goya's "Nude Maha", Manet's "Olympia", and the well-known Venus goddess with a broken arm are all is a work that falls into this category.

After the Pope saw this, he thought it was indecent and asked to cover it up. Later, with the popularization of culture and art, this phenomenon began to decrease, although there are still some occasional cover-ups in Western society today. But he will immediately be ridiculed and criticized by many people.

Nude sketching entered the classrooms of many art academies in my country and became a teaching method. It also started with quarrels. ?In 1914, Liu Haisu, the then vice-president of the Shanghai Academy of Drawing and Art (the predecessor of Nanjing Art Institute), opened a life-model sketching class for Western painting students. However, he could not find a nude model, and no one was willing to spend a lot of money. I started working as a nude model, and after a lot of work, I found a mature model.

At that time, the society's criticism of nude paintings was very fierce and overwhelming. Some students and teachers were once imprisoned by the authorities for being immoral. This turmoil even involved the political circles at that time. The character had been exposed to art education overseas. After taking into account the national conditions at the time, he treated the matter coldly and did not support or encourage it.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, someone wrote a letter of report to Zhongnanhai for nude painting by students from the Academy of Fine Arts. After receiving the letter, the national leader wrote a note on July 18, 1965, expressing his concerns. View, he said: This matter should be changed. Painting nude models of men, women, old and young is a necessary basic skill in painting and sculpture. It should not be impossible. Feudal thought prohibits it. It is inappropriate. Even if some bad things happen, it does not matter. For the sake of the art discipline, Please make your own decisions regardless of small sacrifices. ?

Today, nude painting and sketching teaching has been widely used in domestic art academies and has become an important method for schools to cultivate students' basic art abilities. However, after hundreds of years of development, nude sketching is still being argued about for hundreds of years on the same grounds. Times have changed dramatically, but some old things that should have been updated and replaced long ago are still more deeply rooted than everyone imagines.

2. Colored Glasses

Once nudity becomes art, it is the most holy. Once morality becomes hypocritical, it is the most obscene. The reason why some people are opposed to it is Wearing tinted glasses to look at body art, I suddenly thought of a joke. There was a couple looking at an art work. It was a painting of a nude woman. The important parts were covered with leaves. The wife turned around and left immediately after seeing it. But the husband stood there for a long time and refused to leave. The wife grabbed her husband's ear and said, are you going to wait for the leaves to fall? In fact, many people are just like the wife in this joke. They feel that body art is unsightly. Staring at painted art means that they have bad thoughts in their minds.

As for some people who think it is an insult to women, it is even funnier. In the history of modern painting in my country, there is a famous female painter. Her name is Pan Liangyu, who was an art professor at many universities in Paris at that time. As a visiting professor, she studied Western painting methods. When she painted the human body, she painted in front of herself in the mirror. Later, when these paintings were exhibited in Paris, she did not paint them in order to avoid being disturbed by others. Although she looked like herself, many people around her recognized the model as herself from the back, but no one looked at her with a bad eye. Many female scholars praised her paintings for fully depicting women. The beauty of human body painting,

In fact, many art students who are engaged in human body painting for the first time will be full of excitement when they see a nude model. They can finally engage in practice, and they are full of shock. Because the human body under the light is beautiful. Beauty is so shocking and full of troubles? Human body lines are too difficult to draw. They rarely have dirty thoughts, because they know that this is beauty, the most shocking beauty that God has given to human beings.
