Art Nude IN MEMORIAM GIAMBOLOGNA (1529 -1608)
•
The nude does not simply represent the body, but relates it, by analogy, to all structures that have become part of our imaginative experience. (Kenneth Clark)
•
Traditionally the Nude was used to express formulations about life as larger-than-life, as Heroic or Ideal... The nude is not a 'genre' subject. (Isabel Bishop)
•
Every artist undresses his subject, whether human or still life. It is his business to find essences in surfaces, and what more attractive and challenging surface than the skin around a soul? (Richard Corliss)
•
He who does not master the nude, cannot understand the principles of architecture. (Michelangelo)
•
What is the body? That shadow of a shadow of your love, that somehow contains the entire universe. (Rumi)
•
Good for the body is the work of the body, good for the soul the work of the soul, and good for either the work of the other. (Henry David Thoreau)
•
The body [is the] advocate of immanence, the palpable refutation of metaphysical falsehood. (Nietzsche)
•
European art is fixated on the nude just as its philosophy is fixated on the truth. (Jullien)
•
Nudity is thus itself a garment. It is its own clothing. (Klossowski)
•
The undraped figure in nature has a beautiful outlook. It is the important task of the artist to save the world. To defend art from pornography means to defend art model from offensive image. Pornography offends the model; art – never. Art respects, arises, loves model. (Yaroslaw Rozputnyak)
