|
||
<p>Maybe in the past it was more artistic (and consensual between
|
||
photographer/cameraman and subject)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>I refer to Brassaï ‘s 1931 photo, “A suit for two in the magic city”, which
|
||
features some extent of (the suggestion of) male nudity.
|
||
in it,
|
||
clearly there are homosexual themes
|
||
and there is some expression of
|
||
intimacy as well</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Nowadays, if I were to
|
||
use a popular expression, people are “going from bad to worse”</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>And Peeping Toms/voyeurs who arrive later in history, in their “artistic work” - if it could be so termed - seem to demonstrate a clear lack of what the writer Edgar Allan Poe calls the Poetic Principle: their works do not “elevate the soul”, as a poetic work should</p>
