What is the Difference Between Nude and Naked?
Naked can be more scrutinizing and offensive, where nude, as more of a concept, is usually not so. This brings me to my million-dollar question: If you had to decide between your child being confronted by a sexually explicit, media-mangled image or a nude figure in a work of art, which would you choose?
The subtle difference between nude and naked – Lifestyle:
I think this is quite a confronting but excellent article. given all the issues at the moment with nudity and specifically children seeing nude art, I think we need to establish our priorities and work out what the real issue is. For Centuries nudity has been one of the most common art subjects. I completely fail to understand how we live in one of the least puritanical times historically speaking but where nudity for arts sake is being reviled.
There seems to be an automatic association with nudity and sex. that nudity is inherently sexual in nature. It can be, but it can also be a great range of things. It doesn’t actually matter if the piece is nude – what is so wrong with the naked body? It does not need to be sexual. I think there is a culture being instilled in children that nudity is sexual only, and dirty and wrong.
It’s so wrong that everyone and anyone can view a veritable smorgasbord of sexuality and nudity with relative ease over the internet, TV or magazines and in advertising everywhere, but that classic nude art can be reviled for their tasteful displays – something that is sorely lacking in modern media. It drives me crazy. I completely fail to understand the point – can some one illuminate me?
