This is not art.

Australia's arts community has defended a photographer whose exhibition of images of naked children was shut down.

Police shut down Bill Henson's installation at a Sydney gallery before it even began due to complaints about frontal nudity in the photos of 12 and 13-year-olds, according to a Sky News report.

Ok, so, it's no big surprise that someone is trying to get away with taking nudes of children by calling it art. I want to know why the art community is on the guy's side. And who the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks lets their kids be photographed nude? angered.gif

It's a sick, sick world. But there's also so much good in the world. Much of the good isn't art. It's hard for me to think of anything modern that I like. For instance, it gives me the creeping willies to even think of an "art" display that very popular. It's a display of corpses cut up and displayed in "interesting" ways.
