Question: Porn or Art!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Artist Bill Henson A nudes photographer from Australia, who focus on preteen subjects is again all over my news page!. I must confess i have always said "let art be art', so i thought it best to give the artist a web search!.
Stylistic i suppose!, not my cup of tea, yet i see the art, rather than the sex!.
So he has gone with permission to a high school to find the next subject!. hence the media spotlight i assume!.
so! any thoughts!?-
Me!?!?- i still say "let art be art"!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just had a look and i would say it's art,it must be difficult for him to get subjects without sounding like a perv and i have to assume that he goes to great length's to ensure that the subjects and parents are 100% ok with it,it's such thin ice in this day and ageWww@QuestionHome@Com

porno is behind that but he was just saying it was art!.!.!. if those preteens are with the consent with parents or authority but i think that is not still the basis of having teens in nude pose!.
whats the purpose of doing that!? u think its healthy or just advertising an early sexual things or whaever!. I am an artist and i do paint nude but I have to be sure the pics are mature men or women and even I have nude painting of myself but not those teens Www@QuestionHome@Com

I tend to agree with the courts ruling on what porn is an is not!. They decided that there is no clear definition but they "will know it when they see it!."

In other words use common sense!. If you look at it and see porn it's porn if you look at it and see art it's art Www@QuestionHome@Com

tell me one thing!.!. ask the artist to pain his teen child nude!.!.!. in the name of art!.!.!?
