Yeah, I know it was the context. I really do want certain parameters here and I expect them. (A bit silly considering the sum total of my experiences here, no? )
Plus, it's my view toward physical intimacy portrayals - art, music, film - whatever, which for me, I prefer not to see blatantly...hinting is far more effective and beautiful. Others nearly always assume this is due to repression, thinking nudity or sexuality is 'dirty,' being too old, or something like that. But it's just the opposite. It's the preciousness and holiness that forms my view. Too much base stuff in our culture.
Not that that drawing falls in that category - it was pretty mild. It's just like you said, I didn't get to choose and it was *here.* I may have a bad visceral reaction to exposed breasts/nipples, not quite sure why. We all have something.
I wouldn't race (though for Van Gogh, I would!)to any museums for that one, but I might eagerly go for other Picassos. (And with any exhibition, you can pause for a couple seconds and move on, whereas here I must see it each time I open the pages.)
Well, I have digressed from Admin quite nicely...thanks for the help :-)
