Female Nudes a must-have art

Do you love fine art?

Artists of today can show a naked woman in their work by referring to the great figurative tradition of the past or by expressing themselves in their own unique ways. In either case, the purpose of such an investigation, with the woman as its subject, is to find the likeness of that which, according to the artist, could express the purest idea of femininity, able to animate, intrigue, attract, and move their imagination. In this context, you can't ignore the work of Tom Wesselmann, Marina Abramovi, Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, and Fernando Botero, who have sometimes shown the naked female body.

Tom Wesselmann started painting naked women around 1959. He didn't like the popular style of abstract expressionism and instead chose to show himself through bold portraits. The latter were perfect for the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and they often lie in suggestive and sensual poses that sometimes have a hint of irony. Many of his figures are based on the artist's wife, Claire Selley. He gives them strong tan lines to draw attention to the breasts and pubis, which are the most important parts of the body. From his first series of nudes, called "Great American Nude" (1961–1973), to his most recent, "Sunset Nudes" (2003–2004), Wesselmann has tried out new artistic techniques and compositions. In these works, unusual close-ups of the body stand out, and the goal is to find new ways to tease viewers with the female form. To sum up, we can use the artist's own words to better understand her work: "I do not show naked people for any sociological, cultural, or emotional reason." "I think that being naked is a good way to be aggressive in a metaphorical sense. I want to make people feel intense and explosive emotions."

The naked is an eternal subject in the history of art, just like still lifes, landscapes, and portraits. Artists will always have to deal with it, "competing" with the greatest masters of all time. In this situation, the naked female turns out to be a very interesting subject. In ancient times, men were more often shown naked than women, but we know that starting with the Renaissance, women "imposed themselves" in this kind of art. So, the above account doesn't seem to be complete, since it could be added to over and over again by new, unique, and probably scandalous points of view.
