The human body is a popular subject for many reasons, the most obvious being that it is everyone. Throughout history (and prehistory) the representation of the human form has been charged with tremendous energy. Whether it be a religious edict that one should not depict the human form—a taboo, or the glorious opposite—a revelation of mastery over form in the crafting of sensuous and life-like physical human beauty, the art of the body has moved humans through time. Through all the permutations art has experienced across history, work of the body persists. The human nude is used to master skill, understand one self, and push social and psychological buttons for the sake of expression.

ARTISTS NOTIFIED: Sunday, May 11th.
