The Garden of Earthly Delights
Extended Edition. This is panel 1
of 3 of the Garden of Earthly
Delights Extended Edition. Oil on
Canvas 36" x 18" 2015.
You have put much effort and beauty in this garden of Eden, I painted Eden scenes for Munns Art Studio but correctly. Adam and Eve hid because they knew they were naked. God clothed them.
An impressive work. Luckily it passed the AW censors despite nudity!!! But, I can't conclude that aesthetics alone is considered enough for exceptions to the prevailing Mrs Grundy Victorian rules...do you know the AW staff censors personally, if I may ask? I hope that you will be allowed to continue exhibiting more of this fine non-decorative art, that stands so apart from 99% of the prevailing decorative aesthetics on AW...
Artist Reply: Thank you for the comment. I didn't even think about the nudity until you mentioned it. I would guess if it is respectfully and 'artfully' done it would be okay.
