Early
Nude Art
Ever
since early cave paintings the natural human form has been
portrayed in its full unclothed glory. This was just how the artists
saw his fellow people, and depending on the region, people wore very
little anyway. Since then societies have presented the nude form in
paintings, drawing, photography, and any other media. This either
demonstrates humanity's strong sexual nature, or just a propensity for
making aesthetically pleasing artwork, or perhaps a combination of the
two.
Perhaps
no society was more naked in its art than Pompeii. This ancient
Roman city would meet its doom at the wrath of Mount Vesuvius when the
volcano erupted and wreaked havoc on the city below. The city would be
covered and ruined by the lava flow but an 18th century find would
uncover remnants of a forgotten world, including the remains of many of
its inhabitants exactly how they met their fiery demise.
The
society shows no sign of bashfulness in its many frescoes and
surviving statues. In them you'll find depicted sexual acts, more sex,
sex, and just plenty of nudity.read
