Blake Gopnik (Washington Post Staff Writer):After well over a century of prim coverups, literal and metaphorical, of the sexual content of the greatest nudes in art, experts have been waking up to the erotic, even pornographic, potential. “I think it’s essential that we understand them as objects in the context of men wanting to look at naked women,” says Amelia Jones, a pioneer of feminist art history who teaches at the University of Manchester in England. Over the past decade or two, most of her colleagues have abandoned the genteel distinction Sir Kenneth Clark insisted on, in a famous lecture series in Washington in 1953, between the chaste “nude,” cleansed by an artwork’s aesthetic and philosophical ambitions, and pictures of the pruriently “naked,” meant to get a rise out of viewers.Source Permalink | Leave a comment »

Fox Harvard has added a photo to the pool:Copyright © 2010, Fox Harvard, All Rights Reserved***If interested, please feel free to email me for information on the book***In an age where growing up in America guarantees one an almost prescribed and seemingly congenital exposure to sexually charged imagery, the influence of the erotic on our individual and collective sexuality is undeniable.Whether it be mediocre product advertising or outright exploitation, the ever-present erotic and provocative has irrevocably changed the method and manner in which we express & consume. Television is saturated with shows rewarding the unaccomplished and talentless with ready-made, icon-level celebrity status simply based on their sexuality. The internet is a virtual library of sexual imagery where the statistical majority of its use (and its commerce) is simply for the trade of pornography. Even in everyday routine one can hardly even clothe themselves, in any form, without the sexual influence of flash & flaunt.And yet, to the seemingly blind, the current generation's ponderous sexual clout is somehow still shocking. In reality it's nothing more than a new spin on the proverbial cycle of we-desire-what-we're-fed, and in turn, we-create-what-we-desire. So the way in which their sexuality is so readily prevalent and their comfort with allowing it to either express or define a portion of their individuality (more so than previous generations) should come as no surprise.From the temptations offered by biblical garden snakes to those offered by MTV's high-def pubescent pop-stars, the way with which we act--and react--in a sexual context is in a perpetual state of evolution; so much so, that by the time one has attempted to understand it--much less define it with words or pictures--it's changed yet again. I'm not sure what the consensus on this would be but I think it's rare to encounter any piece of erotica that doesn't look or read slightly dated, often in concept as well (even "post-modern" work, by its very conception, is based upon preconceived notions or ideas). Perhaps it's that very challenge that makes the task of trying to capture it so entertaining.Apfelmusik is intended to be a hodgepodge of the images created of said generation, from my more recent work. Over the last year spent shooting it I simply wanted to capture and exhibit the individual sexual presence of each person as it existed (or at least as I saw it). When shooting each model I wasn't trying to be conscientiously artistic; I was merely recording the passion or sexuality of each person in their immediate environment (with some degree of playfulness, to be sure). And though while shooting I tried to avoid most of the banal clichés of nude & erotic photography, by paying little attention to specific style or genre, some of the final product actually came off as being quite indicative of fashion & editorial work; particularly due to the theatricality of the model's chosen poses. Each model was encouraged to pick the concept they wanted to do along with choosing key bits of the shoot, from their outfits, to choosing how to pose (or not to). Though the colors and tones were carefully chosen in post-processing, contrary to how some of the work may appear, most shots are of extremely spontaneous moments without being too mindful of instruction or rules.To be honest, there is no rhyme or reason as to how the pictures here are arranged--I simply wanted a compilation of random frames from different shoots that, as a whole, communicated something similar. And while some might appear overly familiar from page to page, I felt each one had something special that differentiated and compelled it enough to be included.I must say that I'm not sure much here encroaches on art with a capitol "A"--as I didn't want to feel pretentious shooting them--but I think many are respectively poignant and impressive in their ability to stir emotion after the fact.Enjoy,FH
