Naked Men in Vienna Celebrates Those Bodies from 1800-2013
While I was checking the Puerto Rican Papers to learn more about the anti gay game and pro-family like gays were put here by a meteor and have no families nor are the ones looking to make families from abandoned children, etc.on the previous post, I bumped into a bunch of naked men. I had to stop and look. Here they are…I posted everything that was available. ur welcome :)
Visitors to this (vienna)museum not only left their coats at the entrance. Also took off their shirts, pants and underwear. He took everything, except for socks and shoes.
This is what more than 60 art lovers were in a special exhibition at the prestigious Leopold Museum in Vienna.
For many, the tour of "Naked men from 1800 to today" - a sample of 300 paintings, photographs, drawings and sculptures focused on the male nude - was an example of life imitating art that will put many goosebumps.
"I can not say I'm sweating," said Herbert Korvas while waiting with other young men in the courtyard, wearing only stockings, tennis and a wide smile. Despite the cold, said he was attracted to the idea of visiting the museum naked "because it was something different."
But after a while, and actually was not. Without any visitor dress around, nudity quickly became normal when visitors gathered around a guide who was dressed himself, and took time to go from one site to the other, listening to their stories.
Nor were the first visitors to undress, despite the hype around the event which attracted dozens of reporters and cameramen from Austria and elsewhere.
A stripped away in November at the museum, walking calmly through the exhibit, and dressed again only when a security guard asked him to. This act made headlines and sparked a wave of requests for special shows on Monday, said museum spokesman Klaus Pokorny.
"We get requests from all over the world from people who were inspired by the exhibition ... We asked, 'Can we go naked?"' He said.
On Monday, it was clear what kind initiative sparked more interest. Irina Wolf smiled at being between a mostly male crowd at queuing to purchase tickets.
"What fortune mine," she said. "There are only men around."
While Wolf said he is not a person undressing in public places regularly, the computer engineer and occasional theater critic of just over 40 years, said he wanted to see "how I relate in a group like this."
For others, Monday's event was the fulfillment of a wish to have a long, although they could not clearly explain why.
The visitor Florian Kahlenberg, of Munich, said she found it "interesting to walk naked through a museum."
"I always wanted to do," he added.
Few visitors, naked or clothed, have complained of the sample even though some of his works include explicit sexual acts. The exhibition is one of the most successful have been mounted Leopoldo, with more than 100,000 visitors since its opening last October 19, 2012.
This fits with the relaxed attitude of Vienna. Its decline the turn of the century allowed Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt flourish, and the Museum has a collection Leopoldo first class of these and other artists known for their depictions raw flesh.
But acceptance of the nude in the Austrian capital goes beyond the museums. Thousands of men, women and children daily bathe naked in the river Danube in sections reserved for them during the summer, while spicy lingerie pictures splashed huge advertisements around town all year round and a mass circulation newspaper regularly publishes photos of scantily clad women.
Still, Viennese society also has its limits. Last year, Leopold was forced to show more modesty after complaints promotional posters placed around town showing three young men of different races and athletic sporting nothing but blue socks, red and white soccer shoes.
The matter was resolved by covering her private parts with pieces of red tape.
"Naked men from 1800 to today" will stay in the Leopold Museum until March 4
