Caravaggio did a number of brilliant works in his short time he was actually famous in his time and most all of his paintings were comissioned.  A couple of his works were of nude children. we in our society see them and imediately brand him a pedophile.  Is there any evidence for such a devastating charge? No none at all, these works were comissioned after all I would think they reflect the taste of the people who comissioned them.

Robert Maplethorpe produced a prodigeous amount of works.  A few of them were iconoclastic and a few were homoerotic.  Most were not.  From what I have seen of his art he was a brilliant talented photographer.  Our whole nation went on a witch hunt, everyone all the way to our government in D.C.  Exhibits closed, museums told what they could and could not display.  Students funding cut and kicked out of school unless they complied with the state sanctioned "nice" art.

This person who asked for the genitals, I don't know him or what he intends.  But its not my place to judge him with no evidence of wrong doing.  I am not a forum cop to pry into peoples minds, to root out some perceived possible motive.

Well,.......................................
