Don't look Ethel! She'd already been incensed... (warning naked guy photo)


You have been warned.


I think the breast feeding controversy might have been well intended. I wonder who watches over the IT guys in the work place over a photo of a mother feeding her child?

For the record, below is one of the most recognizable naked guys on the planet. It is just art to me.

Your thoughts?

Michelangelo's David

Or this art. One of the 10 most prized possessions at the local museum: http://dataomaha.com/rembrandt



Venus at Her Toilette

Veronese (Paulo Caliari), 1582
One of the top three 16th century Venetian painters (the others were Titian and Tintoretto), Veronese created a complex composition in oil, which has little of the reality of the Titian work but spotlights the artist's creativity. The mythical subject gave the artist an excuse to paint a nude in loving detail, Jurovics said, and he shows off his painterly skill in the detailed, sensuous surroundings and use of perspective. Joslyn purchased this painting in 1942.
