Bill Hensons art or pornography?

Question

bill Henson most people know him in Australia. i just wanted to tell everyone out there, that he took the pictures 10-12 years ago WITH consent of their parents he took the pictures in Europe.

and another thing this is just information i don't really care what you think is true but i wanted to share it with you, pornography is when you have people doing sexually active things in it or when you look at it and you will have sexual excitement.

all i want to say after what i wrote to everyone what do you think of Bill Henson now?????

Answer 1

I was in absolute shock with the recent furore surrounding Bill Henson's work. The man is one of our premier artists and when his work was confiscated recently I was a quite saddened with how suspicious Australians have become. Also by how unenlightened we are as a country.

I have baby girl, and I would have no problem with her being photographed by Mr Henson when she was older, in fact I would consider it an honour (especially if I got a copy to hang up in my house thank you very much!).  Nudity does not equal sexuality, and anyone who does consider his images sexual or pornographic need to have a good hard look at their own dirty minds.
