It all depends upon the intent of the artist.Most children at this age are embarassed by their developing bodies and would shy away from such exposure.
Unfortunately with the proliferation of paedophiles aided and abetted by the internet,it is a grey area that most sensible artists with talent would not tread.

BTW

Well known feminist and art critic, Margaret Pomeranz had this to say on the banning of Henson's work:

"MARGARET POMERANZ: I think this is the most extraordinary thing. I don't understand what role it is of the police, I understand that the paintings have not yet been classified even.

And I just don't get it. I mean this is meant to be art by a very respected artist. Ok, you may find his work confronting, controversial. Surely that's a function of art, or some contemporary art, anyway.

...... if you don't want to see it, don't go. But the thought that this is going to inspire paedophilia is just ludicrous."

So to any wowsers out there who believe that naked children are somehow sinful - don't go to ANY museums, art galleries and SHUT YOUR EYES when bathing your children.

CJ Morgan,

I take it you would be happy for every pervert to look at your 12 year old daughter nude in the name of 'art'. Wow you have gone from a Howard hater to a Rudd hater very quickly.

Your mind is a cesspit. Your religion holds your gaze from seeing the beauty of the world around you and imprisons you in a vacuum from which you are devoid of knowledge, learning and truth.

Nakedness is only a sin in the eye of the beholder and all you can see around you is foetid.

The corruption really lies in the old guy who wants to photo the young "vulnerably posed" girl for his sexual gratification.
It could one day turn out that the photographer has an inclination towards under aged girls and gets arrested for sex offences.
The photos were porn and the police have done well to confiscate the photos.
All these types of photos do is stir up the already stirred up sex offender and encourage him to go looking for the young girls.
What a dark world you young folk are creating by your approval of such dark things.
Youve got no idea.
Mr. Rudd did well and three cheers to good cops!

lol. C.J morgan! You crack me up to no end. Well done. LMFAO.
