The art of being naked!



No, it was not I who was naked, but these statues and sculptures everywhere in Barcelona. They captured my curiosity. Why  are they naked? Can you see what they wanted to convey to the tourists? To my relief, the people who lives there are not naked, although the temperature can inspires someone to do so:) 

Anyway, we can all agree that we are naked, naked in the eyes of God who sees all things. I included qoutes from the living word of God so that we can have an idea how God  looks at us.

See these pictures as a part of Barcelona's culture.


Job 31:4,14 



Job 26:6
Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.



Psalm 139:4
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, see, O LORD, you know it altogether.

Proverbs 5:21
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his goings.

Proverbs 15:3
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.



Jeremiah 16:17
For my eyes are on all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from my eyes.


Jeremiah 23:24
Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? said the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? said the LORD.


Daniel 2:22
He reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

Psalm 44:21 Shall not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart.


Psalm 139:1 O lord, you have searched me, and known me.



Jeremiah 17:10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.



Jeremiah 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? said the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? said the LORD.


Joshua 22:22,23 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knows, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion...



Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.


Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness...


Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
 Hebrews 4:13

Have a wonderful day:)

    From I can understand, it seems it's one of the popular forms of art in history. It's been done even when art was limited to basic drawings and badly formed pottery.

      I agree with Adam. Even competing in the Olympics, athletes did it in the nude. The human body is the most beautiful subject in any art form, media, genres and style.

      Yes. They have been doing it since the ancient Greek history. Naked Arts.

      In addition to that (although not included in the pictures above), the reason why they make the male genitals quite shorter than the actual ones is that they consider larger ones as gross or comical.
