Re: sexuality in performance and video
Goya's clothed and nude Maja's come to mind of course.
http://museoprado.mcu.es/imajas.html
and then there was the short fashion craze
I believe in the 17th century though perhaps it was
in the early 18th for women's court dresses to
expose the breasts.. this wasnt among the peasants.
I'm not sure of the reference definitively as to place.
It could have been the Austrohungarian lands, it may
have been Sweden. I can't remember.
In film terms. there's this:
Shortly after the Lumieres conducted the first public screening of a film (in December 1895), pioneering French
film-maker Georges Melies directed the very short B/W 'adult' film Après Le Bal (1897, Fr.) (After the Ball, Bath) with
one of the earliest nude scenes in film history. Reportedly around the same time, blue movie pornographer Eugene Pirou
pioneered the risque film (called smoking concert or stag party films) when he produced Le Coucher de la Marie (1896,
Fr.) in which Louise Willy performed the first strip tease onscreen -- the short film was directed by Léar (real name
Albert Kirchner).
The very first kiss on film was between a Victorian couple seen in the Edison kinetoscope The May Irwin Kiss (1896) (aka
The Kiss, or The Irwin-Rice Kiss in a filmed scene from the stage play The Widow Jones). This titillating short
20-second film, with a close-up of a kiss, was denounced as shocking and pornographic to early moviegoers and caused the
Roman Catholic Church to call for censorship.
And Eadweard Muybridge's primitive motion studies (from 1884-1887) included test footage with cinematic glimpses of
naked men and women. Lois Weber's and Paramount's 4-reel silent film Hypocrites (1914) featured full female nudity in
the guise of an unclad lady (Margaret Edwards) - 'the Naked Truth' - who occasionally appeared as a transitional plot
element between scenes.
Audrey Munson (a real-life model) first appeared artistically nude in George Foster Platt's controversial Inspiration
(1915) from the Mutual Film Corporation, as a sculptor's model. Munson also appeared nude in another silent film, Rea
Burger's 7-reel Purity (1916), in a dual role as a spirit figure and as an artist's nude model named Purity/Virtue.
Theda Bara: The Vamp and First Sex Symbol
Sex was portrayed in the earliest films as something exotic and foreign. The original vamp and first movie sex goddess,
the full-bosomed Theda Bara, starred in a number of early silents for the Fox Film Corporation - her first lurid, slinky
vamp appearance (and first lead role) was in Fox's melodramatic A Fool There Was (1915), in which she portrayed a
worldly, predatory woman who stole a married man away from his wife and child. Her most famous line in this film was:
Kiss me, my Fool! She became known as the wickedest woman in the world. Although she played other non-vampish roles,
her vamp appearances were destined to be the most lucrative.
Other suggestive, femme fatale vamp roles were in Herbert Brenon's Sin (1915), The Devil's Daughter (1915) - her third
vamp film, and in The Tiger Woman (1917). She was also most notably seen nearly nude with the contours of her breasts
held by two curving gold asps in her first film made in Hollywood - the very successful Cleopatra (1917). Bara's
'come-back' picture, The Unchastened Woman (1925), was a remake of an earlier 1918 film. [Most of Bara's films, however,
are currently unavailable because few of the film prints have survived.]
Other Early Silent Films and Their Sexy Film Stars:
For the most part, the silent years were not known for explicit sexual content.
However, there were some exceptions:
the first American feature-length sex film was Traffic in Souls (1913) (aka While New York Sleeps) - it was a
photo-drama expose of white slavery at the turn of the century in NYC, although the film exploitatively promised
steamy sex in its advertisements; this was one of the first films to understand that 'sex sells' although its producers
worried that a 'feature-length' film wouldn't be successful; another vice film with the same historical theme of
revealing the world of prostitution was The Inside of the White Slave Traffic (1913); Damaged Goods (1914) and The Sex
Lure (1916) were similar melodramatic, exploitation films advertised as containing the Shocking Truth
A Free Ride (1915) was reportedly the earliest-known silent stag ('men only') or pornographic film - with explicit sex
scenes
Australian-born swimming and diving champ Annette Kellermann (the Esther Williams of the silent era) caused a stir
when she was seen naked with her flowing hair under a waterfall in director Herbert Brenon's and Fox's fairy-tale
Daughter of the Gods (1916) - she was the first major female star to appear nude on screen (see also the next item)
in the same week, another female lead appeared nude for the first time in a feature film on screen - 16 year-old blonde
starlet June Caprice (a Mary Pickford look-alike), in Fox's melodramatic

Re: sexuality in performance and video
Nudity in itself yes, it predates 20th cent., obviously. One of my ex-students is preparing a work about live model and she discovered that the female nude was always absent as a model in the rooms of drawing (academies etc.). Women were not allowed to draw their body, less still a male body, despite the frequent presence of female nudes in the history of art (at least western). It seems that the situation only changed in 19th. century. On the other hand nudity in movies (early connected with pornography) was something akin to the obscure character of the cinema as low entertainment... Well, the list above is pretty impressive... Anyway, nudity nowadays, after 20th cent, in western civilization... it still causes embarassment... my general opinion is that the recent issues over sexuality made more to repress it than all the utopian sense of it in the 60s, suposed to be an epoch of liberation... What wonders me is how this sense of liberation gave place to such a repressive sense of the question... I mean, some of the concerns in performance art must be taken - facing our nowadays reality - but, why should art, considering its history, should still face these kind of concerns (very well listed in the first post)?? best Lucio On 9/21/06, phanero [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Goya's clothed and nude Maja's come to mind of course.http://museoprado.mcu.es/imajas.htmland then there was the short fashioncrazeI believe in the 17th century though perhaps it was in the early 18th for women's court dresses toexpose the breasts.. this wasnt among the peasants.I'm not sure of the reference definitively as to place.It could have been the Austrohungarian lands, it may have been Sweden.
