Nudity is the most basic, yet the most pristine state of humanity.
Nude, we are as we truly are meant to be. The Nude body is a marvel of beauty and grace, no matter what its shape, age, size or gender. In its depiction in art, it can be cherubic, nymphic, titanic, realistic or rubenesque.
Why do artists paint nudity? Why did Matisse paint the odalisque?
What inspired Gaugin to paint the Tahitian beauties?
Why did the temple sculptors of Ancient India carve the nude male and female figures into stone?
Why the sculptures at Khajuraho speak to us?
Why is Da Vinci`s David nude?
What emotions arise in us when we view nudity in art and scupture?
What do we see, when we see ourselves depicted in art?

The great thing about Pakistani Art is how it has managed to subvert the wretched state apparatus in the post 1977 period...
Art has kept Pakistan alive... despite all efforts to kill both.
