Inspired by Nudism


A new photography exhibition entitled "I Know Where the Summer Goes" evokes the classic imagery of nudist magazines from the 60s and 70s. Ryan McGinley crossed the United States with 16 models, 3 assistants and 4,000 rolls of film for the 50 selected photographs, which capture both the innocence and eroticism of nude bodies in natural settings.

I've always found the vintage nudist images to be inspiring, and instrumental in helping me to realize my own naturist tendencies. It's good to see that they are also inspiration for fine art.
