I’ve written that I feel that there is an increasing appreciation of the male nude in our culture and I plan to write about that in the future. Well here goes. There have been a number of exhibitions at art museums and galleries in recent years showcasing the male form and in particular the male nude. One was the Leopold Museum’s (Vienna, Austria) Nackte Männer (Nude Man) Exhibit which ran from October 2012 to January 2013. To me the most interesting work shown there was a multi-dimensional image (it appears to be a series of enlarged photographs) of a reclining nude male (approximately 30 feet by 10 feet by 14 feet) called “Mr. Big” (2006 - 2012) completed by the artist Ilse Haider, born in 1965 in Salzburg, Austria. Many of her works involve a transfer of a photographic image to another median or the printing of a photograph onto materials such as ceramics, wood or wicker. This particular work was placed just outside of the museum. I found a short YouTube video of children running around the uncensored nude figure as if it was a playground.
