I'm in a hornet's nest here, I realize, but there IS a difference between Fine Art and Porn Art (of varying degrees from soft to hardcore!)
The line is blurred or nonexistent these days since the Post Modern era between what is Art and what is Porn, but if a work of art is viewed for artistic merit and critiqued, I suspect those works which are created for sexual gratification fall by the wayside as serious art.
I reiterate here that I have nothing against nudity in Art, but I do discern as an artist and art educator between what is worthwhile vs. what is created for sexual gratification.
I only post this in response to the initial question in this thread.
