But, with rare exception, the point of the nude art was the glorification of the human form. It was created by gifted artists to uplift the spirit and inspire. Tittilation was almost always an unintended consequence of the piece. Oh, puh-leeze. If artists had been able to separate glorification from titilation and present only the former, the effect on their patronage would have been more or less the same as the effect on Playboy's circulation if it had presented highbrow journalism without the nekkid wimmin.

So, it is your opinion that art = porn because it has nekkid women?
