An artist has displayed a picture of a nude lady with her legs akimbo in her new gallery window
She has had a lot of complaints and visits from the police
What’s your thoughts on this one? seems public opinion is divided

I'd say just different minded not narrow minded.

And the details of what is good or bad art work or distasteful or appropriate is in the mind of the person looking at the work, not an absolute. And the mores of society generally and the context of seeing the work.

Any art work - visual, a book, music, is up for interpretation by the viewer or reader

Wyllow you have described it much better than I could. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Oh Mollygo, well batted, touch'e! You do have a valid point & yes each to their own. Not everyone would appreciate the now infamously lurid picture on their mantlepiece. I still rather like it but I soooooooo take your pointed point. 😊

I suppose its the pose I wouldn't care to look at also is the gallery open to children, nudity mostly is tastefully done this dosnt sound tasteful
