Development History
The history of sculpting human nudes is much longer than that of costumes, but nude art does not have the glorious history of costume art. In 1978, Tang Daxi's bronze sculpture "Fighting Warriors - Dedicated to Those Who Struggle for the Truth", with a nearly naked beautiful woman, with her slender limbs, straddles a horse, draws a strong bow, chases the sun and shoots a tiger, showing the "women". Don't let men" heroine image.
In 1980, Yuan Yunsheng created a large-scale mural "Water Splashing Festival - A Praise of Life" for the Capital Airport, which used the scene of Dai women bathing naked, showing a beautiful picture of life.
Tang Jiali - Modeling in China is not easy, and it is even more difficult to be a nude model.
In 1988, China published Chen Zui's "Theory of Nude Art", which became a hot sale. At the end of the same year, the National Art Museum of China opened the "Painting Body Art Exhibition" to the society, which became a highlight. Experts in art history called this year "the most glorious year in the history of Chinese nude art development". However, has the era of "the most glorious era in the development history of Chinese nude art" really come? The subsequent development history has proved that the sexy culture and nude art, which have been imprisoned by Confucian culture for thousands of years, will not be so easily entered.

The "model turmoil" staged in China in the 1920s had "relapsed" long before "the most glorious year in the history of Chinese nude art".

In August 1986, Chen Suhua, who used to be a model at the Nanjing University of the Arts, returned to the countryside of Jiangsu to recuperate due to illness. It happened that the TV film "A Drop in the Ocean", which reflected Liu Haisu's artistic career, was played at that time, and there were scenes of artists and students painting models. . After the villagers saw it, it was paradoxical, as if they "understood" the nature of the model's work. As a result, people came to her house every day to see "Western Scenery", and even complained that she should not "prostitute herself"... In the end, the 19-year-old girl was forced to insane. Liu Haisu was very heartbroken after hearing the news, and immediately remitted a medical fee, and entrusted the college to provide care and condolences.
Phryne - the earliest model in the West, is also in constant turmoil.
At the end of 1988, in the "oil painting body art exhibition", a "model storm" also broke out. A model is recognized by the audience in front of the painting in the exhibition hall, so the husband gets divorced due to slander. Another model is recognized by her in-laws on TV, and a family dispute ensues. So, they negotiated with the organizers. The reason is that the academy violated its promise to keep them confidential, and used their portraits to exhibit to make money, asking for increased wages, financial compensation, etc., but was rejected. Later, they sued the Academy of Fine Arts for infringement of portrait rights, starting a protracted lawsuit that was not settled until 1998.
In the context of Chinese culture, models are very secretive about their work, which is really helpless and helpless. The "model turmoil" that happened again and again is also a realistic portrayal of the difficulty of nude art in China. However, the subsequent social development also inspired the artists. Models aren't as twisted as they used to be. They were naked and generous, and they bargained plainly. Some amateur short courses are also painting human bodies, and models are in short supply. A model said: "There are many rules in the class at the Academy of Fine Arts. For example, only three or more people are allowed to paint completely nude, and the studio is completely closed. No visits, no interviews, and no photos are allowed. But now it's different, the studio is actually only in the primary school. It's just renting a classroom. I heard that the nude female body is painted, and everyone comes to see it. It's annoying, but there's nothing I can do, I just don't allow them to take pictures, and the rest doesn't matter." There are also models, with the students We traveled together and did fieldwork all the way.
Then came the era of hype. Sexologists began to cheer for China's sexual freedom, and artists began to pave the way for Chinese nude art. For a time, experts and scholars talked about sex, and celebrities talked about nudity... The overwhelming "sexualization movement" and "naked movement" finally washed away the turbulent and intermittent more than 70 years, because of personal reputation and living environment. The "model storm" caused by the problem.
The influx of Western body painting art and body photography art into China also brought about a flourishing period of Chinese localized body painting and photography art. Among them, "Tong Jiali's Body Art Photo" is the first. Pure and beautiful. Tang Jiali has become a representative of contemporary Chinese nude art. Chen Zui, a famous Chinese nude artist, praised it. He said: "It's amazing that Chinese women dare to do this, which shows that modern women are very confident and independent. In the past, women's bodies were not their own, but now, not only It's hers, she can still think, and look back at herself, this is a kind of social progress." So Chen Zui waved his pen like a rafter, and wrote the preface to "Tongali Body Art Portrait", the people said - body painting - - The behavior of performance artists, sometimes people really don't know how to behave.
I am very fortunate to have nude art in Europe and America, and Tongari has also been a model for me, which is really excellent. She is naturally beautiful, with beautiful proportions, lines, and complexion. More importantly, she is a professional dancer herself and has received strict professional training in the class since she was a child. With this innate and acquired condition, coupled with intelligence and eagerness to learn, I can quickly understand the artist's intentions, so I can do every move, every movement, and stillness. Especially when she let go of her to perform freely, it was even more inspirational. It can be said that every moment of her action is a very beautiful picture. It is precisely because of this premise that the most obvious advantage of this episode different from other similar albums is that the character modeling is very distinctive. The shape mentioned here does not mean to pose specific dance moves, but refers to the fact that because the model has received professional physical training, every pose she poses and every movement she makes is comfortable, smooth, and very smooth. Naturally embodies a refined ideal of beauty. Although the photo records only a still moment, it is very elastic and malleable, and it combines movement in stillness and stillness in movement, giving people infinite reverie.
However, just when Chen Zui was cheering for Tang Jiali, "Tang Jiali's body art photo storm" suddenly broke out. Although the clue is that the "interest factor" is greater than the "reputation factor", it is also a small "frost" for the budding Chinese nude art, which is very fragile...
During this period, performance art, body art, trendy art, avant-garde art, avant-garde art...accompanied by the "Three Sex Movement" (sexual revolution, sexual liberation, sexual freedom), pornographic videos, obscene pictures, etc., emerged one after another, dazzling people. . However, these arts developed with nude art as the core content came to China because of mixed good and bad, and they were eaten alive by people, so they had diarrhea, and the incidents of "smearing" and "blackening" nude art, Also seen in the media from time to time.
The first and foremost are the elites who make nude art lewd. Chinese politicians, businessmen, and literati who want to become the contemporary Chinese middle class, or even the new bourgeoisie, regard nude art as an erotic image, and confuse art with pornography, intentionally or unintentionally. To make the public not understand, think that nude art is pornographic and obscene, and pornographic obscene is nude art. You are arguing with me, and there is no agreement. So much so that the police's "anti-pornography and anti-black" campaign to maintain social order, nude art, nude artists, and nude models have all become the first to bear the brunt and are often banned. However, the new aristocrats who "sit in the modern age, watch the yellow belt, and hug the next generation" every day are happy to spend time in the gentle villages of "mistresses" and "little secrets", and they ruin the social atmosphere.
Sexual sadism - Japanese "pan-sex" Nobuyoshi Araki often sees similar photos in the lens.
China has never been short of helpers, as long as there is aristocratic obscenity, there are literati who marry the market. As a result, sensualized writers who appeared in the market as "beautiful writers" began to collectively "call Chun". They don't understand art, but they often spoil it. The ancient Chinese erotic pictures and erotic novels are the blueprints for their artistic creation. "Writing with the body" or even "writing with only the lower body" is often pornographic, obscene and violent. It doesn't fit in with art, and it doesn't fit in with nude art. It satisfies the lustful psychological needs of the new aristocracy. However, the frenetic hype of the media has led to the real art going astray...
This situation seems to have similar experiences with the ups and downs, twists and turns, and ups and downs of Western nude art.
Yupan Feiyan - the aristocratic ruling class that advocates abstinence, but also often takes women as lewd pleasures.
Ancient Greece and ancient Rome had a glorious period of nude art, but later, the radiant nude art was thoroughly erotic and obscene by the aristocratic rulers of ancient Greece and ancient Rome. Thus, a powerful empire was destroyed by the sensualization of the whole society. The aristocratic rulers who succeeded later became disillusioned. As a result, "asceticism" became popular in Europe, and nude art became a vulgar art surging underground. Later, after the long and dark Middle Ages, the castles of the "ascetic" aristocratic class also collapsed because of their own debauchery. Europe has ushered in the new dawn of the Renaissance, nude art can also be expanded to the whole body art, and has become the mainstream or mainstay of Western painting art. Today, nude art, or body art, still occupies an unshakable position in the history of Western art.
However, in the middle of the 20th century, Westerners who were oppressed by asceticism set off a sexual revolution, sexual liberation, and sexual freedom movement, which also painted nude art with a lot of erotic and obscene oil. Later, the Western nude art, which experienced the "Three Sex Movements"—sexual revolution, sexual liberation, and sexual freedom—also often fought against pornography and obscenity, and fought against pornography and anti-pornography, and obscenity and anti-obscenity. However, due to the intervention of commercialization, nude art is often caught in confusion and difficulties. Because of confusion and hardship, I struggled and struggled.
In the face of struggle and struggle, many Western artists who have few taboos often show amazing courage. Tamara De Lempicka, a famous beauty painter who was once popular in Europe and America, is one of the artists with "less taboos and courage".
The difference between nudes and body art
Body art can be nude, but nude is not necessarily body art. These are two different concepts. It is not objective to confuse nude with body art. The so-called body art refers to the artistic works in which the artist uses the human body as the artistic language and artistic medium to express the artist's thoughts and emotions. That is to say, nudes become body art only when they are used by artists to express their artistic thoughts and emotions, otherwise, they are just pure nudes.
Body art and nudity are two incompatible concepts that are both closely related and fundamentally different.
