As part of the Project Educate Artistic Nudes Segment Week I present you a short compilation of did you knows and also some illustrative features!!!

Did you know…

Did you know ^arachnid15’s name is Steven Perry and that he is one of the Artistic Nudes Gallery Directors? Did you also know that arachnid is the scientific name for spiders?


Did you know Body Landscapes aka Bodyscapes are the portrayal of the human figure as if it was a landscape and NOT a body in front of a landscape?


Did you know that Mapplethorpe told ARTnews in late 1988: “I don’t like that particular word ‘shocking.’ I’m looking for the unexpected. I’m looking for things I’ve never seen before…I was in a position to take those pictures. I felt an obligation to do them.”?

_{Mapplethorpe is a famous photographer but in the instance that you’re not familiarized with his work you can read about it by making a search of his name in google.}


Did you know you can submit Nudes to almost any sub-gallery of the Photography gallery IF – and I repeat if – you tick the Mature Content Tag On?
This way you can have bigger amplitude for your works, in case you don’t want them just on the Artistic Nudes gallery.

Examples:

Classic portraits

Emotive

Fashion

Glamour

Misc

Spontaneous portraits

Pin-Up

Expressive

Self-Portraits

Infants and Children

Did you know that you can search each single gallery with search words, now with v6? Let’s say you want to find fish in artistic nudes and not in any other gallery: you go to the browse page, select Photography – People and Portraits – Artistic Nude; write fish in the search engine and voilá, you’re fishing is done!!!
Did you know only the Artistic Nude Gallery Directors can give a Daily Deviation to a Artistic Nude, and can also DD it if it stands in a gallery without a gallery director- IF it is a Photography gallery?


Did you know Man Ray is a "legendary Photography, painter, and maker of objects and films, Man Ray was one of the most versatile and inventive artists of this century. Born in Philadelphia in 1890, he knew the worlds of Greenwich Village in the avant garde era following the 1913 Armory show; Paris in the 1920's and 1930's, where he played a key role in the Dada and Surrealist movements; The Hollywood of the 1940s, where he joined others chased by war from their homes in Europe; and finally, Paris again until his death in 1976."?

Did you know that if you have some complaint regarding Daily Deviations you should write them in a note to $Moonbeam13 and $FallenRox and not the Gallery Directors personally?


Did you know that Fashion shots can also be nude? One of the best known examples for that is…



Rasmus Mogensen, who makes fashion hit artistic nude in a very special way and, according to funtasticus.com, “he is a Danish fashion and beauty photographer who worked with such famous brands as Diesel, Swarovski, Escada, Sand, Shiseido, Rochas, de Grisogono etc. His fashion sets have some beautiful textural and conceptual elements and he has an amazing finish on his works that makes you want to look closer and closer.”



Did you know that Eloísa Valdes is ^Helewidis’s name (aka my name) and not Elizabeth? This confusion is caused by my title: dA’s Elizabeth Taylor.


Did you know most of the questions you make to staff members or even other deviants are answered in the FAQ? Did you also know that you can direct faq questions very easily to each other using a faq-code?


Did you know that in the Artistic Nude gallery isn’t allowed the submission of pornographic material; underage models; snapshots and the usage of said gallery as a dating medium. There are appropriate websites for that, please restrain from submitting such types of photos in this gallery. It isn’t also allowed photo-manipulations and works that are not photography. For a better understanding of what is understood as photography by deviantART please read the submission guidelines within the submission process.

For more info please read:

FAQ #565: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic imagery'; what do you consider this to be?
FAQ #305: Is posting 'Adult' oriented artwork alright if I censor it first?

FAQ #23: What are deviantART's policies on nudity?
FAQ #249: Are there restrictions on photographs of teenagers or children?



Did you know that Helmut Newton has been pointed as a Artistic Nude Photography Hero by many deviants, along with Mapplethorpe and Man Ray?

In case you don’t know, “Newton is internationally known for his erotic, often controversial fashion and portrait photography. In 1938, he went to Australia and later acquired naturalized citizenship there. He settled in Paris in 1961, working for the French, British, Italian, and American issues of "Vogue" magazine, as well as "Elle," "Playboy," and "Stern." Criticized as chauvinistic, women in Newton's images often find themselves in precarious situations, such as bondage or other erotic acts, and the exact nature of the situation is left for the viewer to interpret. Many of these tableaus are played out in opulent hotel suites, implying that the figures involved are complete strangers. His approach is to examine the internal turmoil women face in today's society; to have a share of the participation in a man's world without sacrificing traditional feminine identity. Newton was at the height of his popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s, capturing images of the disco era and art world surrounding Andy Wharhol. While mostly known for his black-and-white-images, Newton's color photography is equally accomplished. Since 1981, Newton has divided his time between Monaco and Los Angeles. He died in a car crash in 2004. “
