I really like this, I like that it's a change from the naked white girl. I think some of the nude peices on here can be really artistic but some tend to just be hypersexulized peices. To each their own, but I like seeing more of a variety and I like artsy nudity personally. I really enjoy this.

Heh…given all the discourse surrounding Gaugin’s rampant exploitation and fetishisation of the Tahitian women, I’d say this is a pretty lateral move.
(Note: I’m a “love the art not the artist” kind, so for the record I also think this is an incredibly beautiful painting)

I love Gauguin’s style but he is probably one of the best known assholes of the art world. I think the context of his work really does prove the issue people have with this sub as of late, though has work obviously has a colonialist tint as well.

Isn’t the dog also technically nude? So, three nudes?

Saw some people complaining about all the naked white girls posted here lately, be the change you want to see in the world I guess.
