Some Hindu fanatic groups are protesting against paintings in an art gallery. The paintings are nude but art and not vulgar.

I wonder why these groups not protest against the nude art in Konark, ajanta, Elora and Khajuraho.

In another incident, some organizations forcibly removed some paintings in Bangalore although the author of those paintings says that he has expressed only that he read in literature of classic ancient writers like Kumar Sambhav.

I feel that it is a kind of backlash to show that they too are concerned like other religious groups do...so anything to do with religion, they protest...

This artist Sainath is a sure psycho and he has no business talking about beautiful works like Kumar sambhava. What he has show in his paintings are akin to pornography and the figures are more like people from pornographic movies. If we talk about the intimate postures etc. that can be seen at temples like Khajuraho, they are beautiful and graceful and not in the least bit vulgar and suggestive like this artist has portrayed in the paintings.

I am a fan of nude paintings but only when they are depicted with as much beauty and grace as a human body, especially a woman's, is! Depicting that nudeness in a crude and vulgar form is not art but cheap publicity!

I agree, when we look at nude paintings done by some older painters, we can only admire them.So it really depends on the psychological bent of the artist since thats what comes out in his or her paintings...

Nothing but to remain in focus. These are elephant teeth, to eat one, to show other. A foreigner once stunned to see first time the "Shivling", astonished to see sexual pose that too with worshiping by millions of people since millions of years!!!
