ARTLESS innocence? I don't think so! What is artless is the geek who gets his hands on Poser so as to blow Vicky's breasts up to a huge extent and then render her with a plain background, default lighting and her legs open. That is pornography.

But as you say, if the artist is Rodin, or Corot, or Picasso, then the result is art whatever perverted act the subject is. Let us be charitable and say that's because they would bring their skill and artistic integrity to any subject.

The point I'm trying to make is that it's not the subject so much as the manner, and quality, of the treatment. Though as I said before, others would use the term differently. I'm trying to propose a definition that I think is useful.
