Human Form In Moonscapes I-IV, And Botello
Compare and Critic
Naked and afraid is how mankind is introduced to this world. Nudity is permitted in art to show forms and shapes to depict the human anatomy. The human form has been an object of many artists throughout history. The display of naked men or women is hard to ignore when portrayed on canvas with skill and focus.
