The formation of German nude culture can be traced back to the end of19th century. At that time, German citizens were rich, and the middle and upper class citizens began to pursue a new way of life after reaching a well-off life. People pay more and more attention to their nutrition, clothing, housing, health and physical maintenance, which is the famous "life reform".
1893, Heinrich Pudor published a book "Naked Men, Cheering for the Future", proposing that only by looking squarely at the human body can we have a real moral outlook. Call on everyone to return to nature and fully enjoy the fresh air and warm sunshine. 1905 Schonheit, the first nude cultural journal, came out in Berlin, and nude culture became popular in Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover and other big cities.
Cultural history:
Both ancient Greece and Rome had a glorious period of nude art, but in the end, the radiant nude art was completely eroticized and obscene by the aristocratic rulers of ancient Greece and Rome. Thus, a powerful empire was destroyed by the lewdness of the whole society. Later, the aristocratic ruler who succeeded him turned pale.
As a result, "asceticism" became popular in Europe, and nude art became a vulgar art surging underground. Later, after a long and dark Middle Ages, one after another "ascetic" noble castles also fell apart because of their own debauchery.
Europe has ushered in the new dawn of the Renaissance, and nude art can also be extended to the whole human body art and become the mainstream or mainstay of western painting art. Today, nude art, or body art, still occupies an unshakable position in the history of western art.
However, in the mid-20th century, westerners oppressed by asceticism began the sexual revolution, sexual liberation and sexual freedom movement, which also painted a lot of pornographic and obscene pigments on nude art. Later, western nude art, which experienced the "three-sex movement"-sexual revolution, sexual liberation and sexual freedom, often struggled between pornography and obscenity, pornography and anti-pornography, obscenity and anti-obscenity.
However, due to the intervention of commercialization, nude art is often lost and trapped. Because of confusion, because of hardship, so struggle, struggle.
In the face of struggle and struggle, many western artists with few taboos often show amazing courage. Tamara De Lempicka, a famous beauty painter who once swept Europe and America, is one of the artists who are "less taboo and more courageous".
