Finally, a man to stand up for decency in art! I've started to wonder if I'm alone with my view that these semi-nude statues and paintings are just plainly offensive, no matter how accepted they have become over the centuries on the walls of Roman Catholic churches.

I'm sorry, because maybe I am young, but I am an artist, that is my life. Art is the product of expressed emotions or the way something is symbolized through a visual format. Justicve equals truth, and nudity is a symbol of truth. I would never order a piece of art covered, especially if it's not my place to decide on a matter like that. If I didn't won't photographs of myself with it or immature angles of it, I'd stay away from it and make public or media-allowed events to be held in a separate room. Art was not created for limits such as offensiveness or nudity.
