If photography is considered art, then is nude photography/erotic photography/pornography considered art also? By generally stated opinions of Western society: Yes/Yes/No Value in the marketplace: $ / $$ / $$$$ Source(s): Camera Club Educational Coordinator Professional Photographer Photography Workshop Leader Yes, but it has to be artfull Some nude photography is considered art, just as many nude paintings are part of the fine art world. However, pornography is different and is definitely not art. Pornography lacks the aesthetic criteria of art because it sacrifices any aesthetic in favor of blatant, in-your-face lewdness. It serves no purpose but to exploit and titillate. Great art moves the soul. The only thing pornography moves is your genitals, provided that you're into it. It can be, but I would say that if the effect of the photograph causes the viewer more arousal than aesthetic response, I would not call it art. Of course, if the viewer judges it's a lousy photography, I would have to question whether it is art as well--although one could argue that it is art, just BAD art. Aesthetics is a very tricky topic. Try Kant's Critique of Judgment. art can be defined by two people the person creating it, if he intended it as art, or the person that views it, if he sees it as art. Is all nude photos art? no Are all nude photos porn? no. What may be deemed as pornagraphic by me may not by you and vice versa. There is no "rule" Yes, yes, and maybe... Not all photography is considered art; snapshots for example are more records of an event |
