Hey What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is a philosophy of design for creating a sustainable human culture. That is, it's a way of thinking about how we set up the support systems around us: shelter, food, water, energy, society and business. Well designed permaculture systems allow us to live as a beneficial part of the ecosystems around us.

Art & Naturism.......naturist spirited art

The Top 10 Female Nudes in Art

At least over at the Guardian..

From the ravishing Venus of Urbino, past Ingres's sensual Odalisque, to the feminist riposte of the Guerrilla Girls, the female nude has inspired, enraptured and enraged

Titian – Venus of Urbino (1536-38)
No one has ever painted naked women as gorgeously as Titian did. His ravishing Venus is a lover laying her beauty bare, and the recipient of her optical largesse is anyone who happens to stand in front of this painting in the Uffizi gallery in Florence, Italy. Titian creates with mind-boggling skill the lavish presence of this nude: the rapture of her carnal glory.
An image of...
Juergen Teller – Vivienne Westwood (2013)
Nudity never loses its power. The conventions of the nude can be enjoyed, and challenged, in limitless ways. Vivienne Westwood glories in poses culled from painting as she exults in all the possibilities of nakedness in art, while in her 70s.
An image of...
François Boucher – Louise O'Murphy (1752)
The mistress of the king of France proudly displays her bottom in this picture from the age of the Marquis de Sade. In the 18th century of Enlightenment and spanking, Louise O'Murphy is not just nude – she is posed erotically. The artistic tradition of the nude, which goes back to ancient Greece, is sometimes wrongly imagined to be an ethereal pursuit of classic beauty. In fact, as Boucher and his model prove, it has always been and always will be about sex.
An image of...
Ingres – La Grande Odalisque (1814)
This insouciantly provocative nude is gratuitously offered to the eye of some imagined sultan. Her perfume of orientalist fantasy casts the onlooker as a decadent connoisseur of sensual pleasure. Ingres makes his Odalisque almost surreally curvy, impossibly waxen-skinned, yet more real than any photograph. Utterly amoral, this painting is a depraved engine of delight.
An image of...
Guerrilla Girls – Do women have to be naked to get into the Met Museum? (1989)
In this classic riposte to millennia of male voyeurism, the Guerrilla Girls give an ape head to Ingres's nothing-if-not-objectifying Odalisque. There are more female nudes in art than there are famous women artists. Is the nude just an instrument of oppression? Are Titian and Ingres misogynists? Today, it's hard to look at the nude without asking those questions.
An image of...
Pablo Picasso – Nude, Green Leaves and Bust (1932)
Picasso imagines his lover as a welcoming cloud of pinkness, a constellation of curves, in this ecstatic painting. The woman, here, is a part of nature, reduced to the status of objects in a still life, to be enjoyed by the male artist.
