Spencer Tunick se întoarce şi în faţa ochiului critic

Jonathan Jones, "ochiul de veghe" de la The Guardian, prezintă o pledoarie în favoarea nudului.



Spune Jones: "It is good to pause occasionally and reflect on how far we haven't come. Exactly five centuries ago, in 1510, Michelangelo was at work painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Among the biblical prophets and episodes from Genesis that he depicted up in those heights he added a gathering of young men, portrayed on a colossal scale, sitting around naked in the painted heavens. Art historians have tried to dignify their nakedness with a clever-sounding collective title – the Ignudi – but is there really much difference (physiques aside) between this community of nudes and the massed Australians who pose in their skins in front of Sydney Opera House in Spencer Tunick's latest opus?"
