Do you have nudes in the house?

I have a beautiful reproduction poster of a classic nude painting in my house. Sometimes I wonder if people are embarrassed by it when they see it - do you judge people if they have nude paintings in the house? (Not of themselves!!)

Not a nude painting but a statue of a nude couple embracing so all you can really see are their bums. The only people ever to comment were Dnephews who were about 9 & 11 when we got it - they just kept whispering 'bum' under their breath, much to DSILs annoyance lol

but I had it in a large mount.

It sounded fine til you said that Grin

I have a few fake bronze type things, naked ladies

I'm easily embarrassed but wouldn't have a problem with tasteful nudes. The kind of thing you might see in an art gallery is fine.

chickedeee · 22/04/2020 18:29

The only nudes in our house are us Wink

titchy · 22/04/2020 18:31

Only on nude night Benjamin

BadlyAgedMemes · 22/04/2020 18:33

I don't, but wouldn't be embarrassed. If fine art, I probably wouldn't even think on the nudeness much. If it was huge framed nude shots of you and your partner all over the house, I'd silently judge you more than actually feel embarrassed - although I'd probably try not to look tbh.

I don’t. I’d be pretty uncomfortable with the likes of reproduction Lucien Freud paintings in somebody’s house (ok in art gallery). No issues with classic Greek type nudes though.

There was an oil of me + a a baboon(I think) painted by dh at one time.And then there was a pic of me+ a boyfriend in front of a fire titled 'dopo l'amore' that someone bought, so prolly hanging about somewhere.

ColourMyDreams · 22/04/2020 19:06

I have a few sculptures of nudes in various sexual poses.
I couldn't care less what anyone thinks of them or me.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 22/04/2020 19:09

To add to the lucien Freud list, egon schiele and gustaf klimt nudes give me the heebs (art historical term)

Mitsouko67 · 22/04/2020 19:18

Yeah,DH is in the art business so we have some dodgy art alright!
Nothing too hard core thankfully!!
I won't go into detail...

I have five nudes in my house. Never thought much of it until DS’s friend came round for supper and was scandalised! Told his parents when he got home.

LunariaAlba · 22/04/2020 19:25

I have an art college painting I did of a nude man. It can provoke odd reactions sometimes. Current DP seemed a bit Hmm at first about why I might have an unknown male nude up in my lobby.

Pigeonpresent · 22/04/2020 19:26

My ex kept a nude (faceless) painting of me that a friend did. We have a child together and it’s still up in the hall, my daughter and his wife have no idea it’s me. Everytime his wife is being a bit of a cow I smile thinking about it.

HeyMicky · 22/04/2020 19:27

Yes. Also some Japanese erotica. You have to look very closely though.

I wouldn't judge high quality nudes. A nasty close up amateur piece in the sitting room, probably

Mintjulia · 22/04/2020 19:30

I have a set of four watercolours of a nude girl as a group, on my bedroom wall.

Not pornography, just abstract beauty in an appropriate setting.
