What is the problem with nudity in the Americas? These days, why do Americans still turn on each other over their breasts or genitals? The fear of nudity in America is the problem in today's society. If people could learn to accept the naked form, then they could hopefully begin to accept themselves. People are afraid of the unknown. If people get over themselves and move on, then maybe they will understand that there is nothing to be ashamed of what God has given them. Through art, people learn and if people continue to censor art, art cannot do its job. In art, there are many different reasons to have nudes in your work, but there are three main categories that come up more often. The first reason an artist might depict a naked person is to draw attention to something or an issue. For example, in 2007, Nolita brand's No-Anorexia campaign aimed to shock people and bring to life an important issue facing the fashion world at that time. This photo, taken by Oliviero Toscani, shows an extremely skinny woman posing like a regular model. This ad does a good job of showing the real effects of anorexia and how people need to recognize that it is a real problem. The next reason an artist might use a nude is to show their understanding of the human form. There is no greater form than the greatest work of God. Artists are there to show the beauty of this world, whether it is a vase, a plant or a person. The final reason an artist uses a nude is to show vulnerability. They do this because clothing, jewelry, and material objects only serve to create walls between people. When naked, a person has nothing to hide behind, no things, no layers, no walls. Just bare skin. In that moment, we can get a sense of a person's true character. Are they standing in the middle of a sheet of paper... artists who use nudity in their works. We should give them the freedom to expose us to the unknown. People should not condemn an ​​artist like Sally Mann and they should adhere to the words of Robert Henri. The American people need to get rid of their fear of nudity once and for all. Works Cited “The Fear of Sex and Nudity in America.” HubPages. August 9, 2013. the web. April 12, 2014.
