Models reflect on nudes.
The raw sensuality of the human body has been explored in art for as long as we have been aware of erotica. Artists have fed from our desire to be voyeurs and the pleasure we gain from embracing primal hungers, and the guilt we feel afterward. Nudes in art are a telling legacy of the way we have evolved over the centuries. And those who dare to paint or sketch, and those who dare to reveal themselves to the artist, have always met with controversy and disapproval. In the Middle Ages, nude modelling was not accepted.
