What's the name of the art critic who got all of his lessons on the female anatomy from paintings, then ran screaming from the room when he saw his nude wife on his wedding night, and died a poor lonely pedophile?

I don't believe it's erotica because I do not consider nudity = erotica.
Erotica is simply art in sexual context, iow, sex for the sake of art.
Pornography is in my view something designed to turn people on and sod the art... in other words, sex for the sake of sex."I work in IT so I'd be buggered without a computer" - Words of wisdom from Provost Harrison

I do know we should take our cues from our fantastic and famed previous Attorney General, who covered those indecent statues at the Justice Department.
Frankly, the Birth of Venus is a sickening, disgusting display of female sexuality, and you should all be ashamed of yourselves for not having put the painting under a burqa.B♭3

A lot of the sculpture/Paintings did, that resulted in situations like the one Loinburger discribed.
And I have gotten a 'stiffy' from that painting.

If it was acceptable during the Renaissance, I don't get why it shouldn't be in 2006I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

JMI came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
