Well. This is interesting. Two of the life drawings of OMG a naked woman that I posted a couple of weeks ago have been removed from Photobucket for violation of terms of service--which I looked up.

I was at the library recently and ended up poking at a book about the depictions women in the most famous classical paintings-- sure, not a new topic, but it was by a man, and one who had some really nice research. He covered a lot of background about the personal lives of the artists and how/why they were painting the women as a) pin-up dolls, b) violent porn, or c) actual people. He had some really coherent thoughts on the matter, which really surprised me-- I'm kinda harsh on art history people, most of the time. I can try to dig up the title, if any of that sounds interesting.

As for Photobucket, well, they did specify "no nudity" in their terms of services, which doesn't thrill me but is certainly within their rights. I do think that the phrase "no offensive material" is too vague, as I can think of a couple of things that have nothing to do with sex that people who aren't me could find quite offensive. But whatever, it's not a big enough grump for me to do something like stop using the service. Mostly because I'm lazy and stuck in my ways.
*Main exception being the Surrealists, specifically Dali. I was much happier NOT knowing the symbolism.
