BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Sydney nude art inquiry dropped

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Sydney nude art inquiry dropped

My friend Sven introduced me to Bill Henson. And I like his work a lot. But there is such a fine line between art and abuse. Such questions were also raised about the work of Jock Sturgess. What is the intent of the work and it is abusing the trust of the subjects, i.e. children. I do know that the artist starving a dog to death is something that I would not condone. But the photography of children nude? Well, any nude is controversial, even of adults. We all have to figure these things out for ourselves.
