The Shock of the Nude


‘The Shock of the Nude’ was created for a local art society, and takes a speedy run through images of the artist’s model – that is people with no clothes on!  The talk flits around from the marble beauty of the armless Venus de Milo to the joyful outrage of Roger Hilton’s ‘Oi,Yoi,Yoi.

As in ‘Paint the soul….’ careful consideration is given to how we look, and what informs our looking.
