This topic just gets bigger and bigger. Maybe it's that art is one of those undefinable words, like love, that is undefinable because we all come to it through different perspectives. Because the words contain so many intangibles that it's hard to understand what it is.
For what it's worth I know I participated in this with the room image, and surely there are a lot more such images we'll come across, and I love them all and the debate that they bring about. But I feel like we have to have a pretty broad definition.
I would love to look at these bodies from an artists' perspective. Good art can give us a fresh or different perspective, and I can't imagine looking at these and NOT getting a fresh perspective - above and beyond just the anatomy lesson involved.
On the other hand, you get a similarly fresh perspective looking at porn, or car accident photos, or pictures of bread with mice baked into it, so I'll just shut up and let y'all return to the discussion at hand.
It all just goes to show how difficult the definition is...
