Essence

The Rove Gallery at 33-34 Hoxton Square, London, N1 6NN, is showing Essence by Denis Piel until 6 May, a free photographic exhibition (CLICK). Shown is Jen Yarrow, Sunkissed, Mustique, West Indies (1982). Nudes are an old excuse for black-and-white photography, creating an "art study" that isn't rude. At least, that's the excuse. Would this image really be rude in colour?
