Paul Kroker |
In puris naturalibus |
Paul Kroker |
|||||||||||

For artists it is essential, and we do not have to look far to find a
statement like Kirchner’s, who considered the nude ”the basis of every
figurative work”. There are many reasons for this : some consider it for
artistic and technical reasons or from a social standpoint or for strictly
personal reasons, what Valéry called “uniting two sensual pleasures in one
sublime act” while Picasso expressed it with equivalence: painting equals
making love. Therefore, the nude as as a starting point with no negative connotation,
or as the Romans put it, in puris naturalibus. From a simple comparison
between two of Michelangelo’s male nudes, David and The Dying Slave at the
Louvre, two works which are both very far removed from any context of love or
passion, we see how the former is an object of pure contemplation of beauty,
while the latter, in its total abandon, has a clear erotic charge, the same
which, in spite of their distant subjects, is conveyed in sculptures like The
Dying Niobium (460-430 BC) or in its ecstasy, Bernini’s highly clad Saint
Theresa. Thus, the nude is not in itself erotic and the work of the artist,
as is known, does not necessarily have to be a nude to convey eroticism.
Certainly, this does not depend exclusively on the work nor on the artist’s intention
bur on the taste of the public. Those who support the esthetics of reception,
while speaking about eroticism, concentrate on the strength of seduction
evoked by the work of art, on the invitation to the male spectator (here the
use of the word male is deliberate) to enter the painting and subsequently to
transfer the excitement of looking to doing. Is erotic another word for
obscene? Where by obscene we mean sinful desire, voyeurism? Of course,
artists like Watteau, Fragonard and Boucher, the artists of the “peinture des
seins et des culs" , opened up to the nude a new road which led to
satisfying the indiscreet looks of the collectors of the time and
officialized their visual offering of the female body without searching for
any mythological pretext. But rather than obscenity, was not this kind of
painting verging on pornography? Towards the tendency which a writer of the
time, Crébillon the Younger, speaking of “licentious literature” thus defined
: ”The reader holds the book with one hand and strokes his member with the
other”. Because obscenity is basically a moral scandal, it is in the words of
the Esthetics of the Ugly , written by the nineteenth-century philosopher
Karl Rosenkranz ,“a deliberate offence against modesty” , going against the
public morality of the moment as Courbet’s painting ”The origin of the world”
of 1866, could have done, but also – a century further on - Moreni’s Atrofica
and the paintings of Schiele, who is never, not even in his most provocative
images, merely pornographic because of the “considerable necrophilic gradient
emanated by the drawing” (A. Boatto). Or to explain the dialectics between
eros and thanatos in the words of Bataille: "Eroticism is the acceptance
of life driven to death”. If once it was easy to distinguish pornography by
establishing a direct link between seeing and doing or reproaching it for its
drastic limitation of the female body especially to the genitals, today that
is no longer possible, otherwise not even a drawer like Rodin or a painter
like Duchamp would come into the category of art. Of course, Tadini is right
when he says that the difference between art and pornography is a question of
form. Might we therefore suggest that any work which wishes to gain artistic
merits should abstain from pure naturalism and from a vision of the body,
love and sexuality which is free from all kinds of mechanicalness and
banality? That theme art should be playful and ironic like Picasso’s last
drawings at the end of the Sixties? It is not by chance that he gave his
opinion about this in both a wise and provocative way: ”It is necessary to
know how to be vulgar”. |

Per gli artisti è essenziale, e non
dobbiamo cercare a lungo per trovare un’affermazione come quella di Kirchner che
considerava il nudo «il fondamento di ogni opera figurativa». I motivi per
tanta stima sono molti: c’è chi lo sostiene per una ragione artistico-tecnica
o per una presa di posizione sociale oppure per una questione strettamente
individuale, quella che Valéry chiamò «unire due voluttà in un atto sublime»
e Picasso invece espresse con un’equivalenza: dipingere uguale fare l’amore.
Il nudo, dunque, come punto di partenza senza alcuna connotazione negativa o,
come dicevano i latini, in puris naturalibus. Da un semplice confronto tra
due nudi maschili di Michelangelo, il Davide e lo Schiavo morente del Louvre,
due raffigurazioni lontanissime da qualsiasi contesto amoroso o passionale,
vediamo come il primo sia un oggetto di pura contemplazione della bellezza,
mentre il secondo, nel suo completo abbandono, ha un’evidente carica erotica,
la stessa che trasmettono, nonostante la loro distanza tematica, sculture
