Madonna Nude

Still bemused by censorship in art (next two posts down), Coxsoft Art wonders whether Brit. artists get round their embarrassment over seductive nudity by making it look as ugly as possible. Remember Lucien Freud's ghastly portrait of Kate Moss in the nuddy (CLICK)? Well, here are London-born Peter Howson's nude portraits of Madonna. Isn't it amazing how a sexy lady can be transmogrified into something that has absolutely no sex appeal whatsoever? It's a sort of castrated pornography that gives Mr and Mrs Censor nothing to complain about and the rest of us nothing to enjoy.
