Share your city's public sculptures of naked people
Statues of naked people: The highest form of art and culture in urban design. Share what you've got!
Guidelines of the thread:
1. There will be images of naked human figures in this thread. If that's not your cup of tea, kindly navigate elsewhere.
2. Do not be a creep. No posting naked living humans. No going off the deep end of gross comments that nobody outside a middle school locker room would want to read. I will not hesitate to moderate dipshit posts or delete the thread if y'all can't contain yourselves.
3. Subjects should be naked or nearly naked. Given American prudishness and the fact that there are few totally naked statues in our cities, it's OK to share statues that are mostly nude but not entirely. Some strategically placed drapery is OK. But exercise judgement and don't overwhelm the thread with subjects that are obviously nowhere close to being nude.
4. There is no need to be semantic about what's a "statue." Caryatids, friezes, and other similar sculpted figures are all fine for this thread.
5. This thread is about public sculptures, meaning they should be located in places where the public can see them. Inside or outside are both fine, but not private statuettes in somebody's fenced off backyard.
Got it? Good. Let's go.
