>>31259942Because being lewd and painting the human form are two different things.
There's even two types of these paintings: one of the "male gaze" in which the hips are tilted toward the viewer, the woman has half lidded eyes, hands resting gently on herself, and a slight smile with her head a bit tilted to reveal a little neck. The second is just a nude woman with none of these features. You can see this difference as the years ago on in Venus and Odalisque paintings. One was so without these "male gaze" elements that, I believe it was Napoleon, grew engraged and banned the artist from the studio.
Tasteful paintings are not on the same level as lewd memes, stop.
