Images of the Nude Male in European Art

The statues of the human body, especially naked men, have been the subject of art since the first wound on the cave wall. Male numbers marked with penis indicate male, reproductive and dominant. Archeologists have discovered evidence that male nude painting appeared in the early dynasties of Egypt and Mesopotamia 4000 years ago. The Greeks converted nude into art, and we Americans changed it to something often called porn. Until today, nude is still the main theme of art and everyone will see it many times, whether in the museum's exhibit case or men's underwear advertisement.

How is visual art? Interestingly, women are not the first art museums of Western art; in ancient Greece art was centered on the body of a naked male. The beauty of men is considered to be the vertex of material excellence that shows heroism and strength. It changed in the 17th century, the nude women became the standard of art. When studying art history at public schools and universities, it was a museum that there were no naked black women. That is another reason I was fascinated by art. However, there are art museums of nude art and many black women who are artists behind them. Photographer Lenny Cox is my favorite example. She brings her consciousness to black women by making ourselves the center of art. Through bright and colorful images, she uses the stereotypes of the black female body as labor, science and sex. Instead, she likes herself, uses the aesthetics of black culture to reinterpret the classical European paintings and to show that nude can give power

Indeed, in art and literature creators have been objectivated to some extent, and classic art has long been idealized for nude - men and women. A naked man symbolizes power, victory, and power. Later, Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvians entered the concept of nude painting of another man. . For women's nude, this beautification and exclusive state of idealized male nude is not the same. How classic art treats women's nude is completely different. In addition to representing fertility and life, women's nude has no specific, stagnant prejudice. Furthermore, the woman being drawn also depends on your social position and the location of men. People need to remember that history is mainly written by men.

Shame, or failure. The Greeks praised this painting as a work of art. Male nude is the focus of beauty and acceptance. Initially, naked women in art were different in their views from men. A respected woman is in an unprotected state or is not portrayed as naked unless it is hurt soon. If there is no danger of wearing clothes If a woman is drawn as naked, she is "hetai lai" or a prostitute or prostitute, except for women who have dignity. In 530 BC, a naked woman became a topic of a vase. These women are portrayed as a highly suggestive and cumbersome position. These vases are often used by men for drinking party. And it explains the theme of this art. In the mid-4th century, the nude statue of a woman changed. The sculpture called Praxiteles carved the first bare Aphrodite. This interpretation is realistic and sensitive. The story tells us that Aphrodite is angry with her first sculpture with her nude. !
