They're Not Naked, They're Nude -- Right?

Last week the Metropolitan Museum, which is known for being a rather tasteful institution, opened an exhibit titled Naked Before The Camera, which looks at nudes in portraiture throughout the twentieth century. And you know what? It's pretty great.

All of the flesh aside, the artwork is beautiful and tells a story about the way the world viewed the human body during the 1900s. Of course, you shouldn't take our word for it, you should judge for yourself!
