Graphic Nude
The female human body is the hallmark of classical art in western culture. What makes the difference between pornography and art? Why would we not want to show one to our mothers and hang the other proudly on our wall? I would say taste and graphics.
This photograph of a nude has natural grace. The photo-artist has selected a high key illustration of a graphic which we recognize immediately but with a fresh perspective. The diamond pattern in the center of the photograph draws us in while at the same time tells us that we are barred from coming any closer. I like the negative space in the upper quarter of the image.
This graphic is about balance in repeating patterns. The strong contrasts from the dark shadow to high tones with few mid grays helps to accentuate the graphic elements.
My only suggestions to the artist would be to add a thin black border around the image to help contain the light tones.
