The walls in the great art museums of the world are covered in overtly nude paintings. Should we censor them? Would you take your children to The Louvre and risk them seeing , God forbid, a nude?

Yeah, and we'd better start putting underwear on all of our doggies and kitties too, lest little kiddies be exposed to the nudity of their pets. Just the sight of certain body parts is, of course, inherently, horrendously evil, so we must do all we can to prevent children viewing them in any way and at any time, to assuage permanent psychological scarring. God help all those people who live in nudist colonies; I don't know how they manage to convince everyone that they're sane, sensible, well-adjusted people, since of course they can't be on account of being faced with all that nudity all the time.

We couldn't impose that standard on a foreign art museum, but anyone considering taking children to see art of this nature should consider their maturity and attitudes before taking them. Simple nudity is not in any way offensive or pornographic. But many people see it more as a sexual issue than as art, and children have to appreciate--without necessarily understanding--the roles of nudes in classic art.
Some cannot. If mine were among them I would take them to the Children's museum instead.

i do not imagine it turned right into a lot the touching I were given thrown out for. extra the incontrovertible actuality that I had pulled it right into a gloomy nook and become charging human beings to work out my 'show'. Any way you want.

No. We desparately need to shed our victorian straight jacket.
