Comments on: Media Furor over Teen Nude http://jenniespalette.com/2008/05/01/media-furor-over-teen-nude/ The world of nude art from the perspective of Contemporary Figurative Artist Jennie Rosenbaum Thu, 04 Dec 2008 06:38:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Jennie http://jenniespalette.com/2008/05/01/media-furor-over-teen-nude/#comment-13682 Jennie Mon, 26 May 2008 09:29:35 +0000 http://palette.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/media-furor-over-teen-nude/#comment-13682 I think sadly it is the public response in all of this. the way others see works often influences how we see it. I think everyone needs to make their own opinions, rather than just trusting to others. the thing that gets me is people who decide, just because they don't like a piece, that it isn't art. I agree people can be so shallow. I think sadly it is the public response in all of this. the way others see works often influences how we see it.

This is a tough one. Been pondering this since you first posted it. Damn. I could easily envision this on some kiddie porn site, a self-satisfied Lolita sort of thing. Can also see it as you describe, a loss of innocence and 'Why are you looking at me that way?'. Is it art or exploitation? Jennie, you quite rightly fiercly defend artistic freedom, and I applaud you for that. I'm just not sure about this one. Damn again. It sounds like I'm disagreeing with you, which I don't. Maybe it's the public response that's so unreasonable and unthinking. Shallow. I really want to say something about this but I don't quite understand what it is I want to say. Is confusion about that which the artist means to portray as much a part of art as understanding what the artist is trying to say? If that's the case, then this sure the hell is art! I'm thoroughly confused. Oh boy. This is a tough one. Been pondering this since you first posted it. Damn.
