Is the meaning of nudity in art universal?
We often think about the nude as the body in its most
essential state. But nude bodies in art are just as much the products of
our subjectivity as clothed bodies and can communicate just as much
information. Nudity is not meaningless nor does it always mean the same
thing. This is especially true when it comes to the relationship between
nakedness, sex, and gender. When we are seeking to understand ancient
figures like the Nimrud ivory and the Aphrodite statue seen here,
cultural context can make all the difference.
