We chatted about book recommendations and her recent article for Creative Pinellas, covering The Naked Truth About Art. “The nude has appeared throughout the history of art. Female nude statues symbolizing fertility date back more than 29,000 years. Larger-than-life Greek and Roman statues idealize the athletic qualities of the male figure in the buff. The world’s most famous galleries are filled with countless paintings of both women and men without a stitch of clothing on.
In the 1920s in Paris, the Dadaists — the precursors to the Surrealists — regularly staged nude performances along with provocative art installations.
