Yeah, Christy. We have a bunch of wowsers in government at the moment (and for at least 25 years now) who do not understand the distinction between a world renowned artist who photographs nude or semi nude children and adolescents and a pornographer. Absolutely beautiful work.
Our PM said the picture - a really poor choice of the artist's in retrospect - of a pubescent girl - "is revolting". And the police were sent into galleries across the country to sieze all of Henson's work. It was all deemed "not pornographic", given back with no charges laid.
The "revolting" photograph was more beautiful than the painting of the Artist's Model in your post. I'll try and find it.
They'll never get away with it though. It just won't happen. But then I said, "Not after Vietnam. We'll never do it again!" So, it shows just how little I know.
