We all have different tastes and we all choose to hang what gives us pleasure in our homes. It does not need to become a life lesson. I'm sure there are lots of people on both sides of the fence. Joanna has done an amazing job of not only listing art but also trying to give background on the items.  I think it is a simple consideration for those that are a little shy. Not a moral issue. On Thu, Apr 28, 2022 at 6:24 PM Sara Mattes <[email protected]> wrote: Amen-well said, Kathy!

Would we avoid a room in a museum because we might encounter paintings of nudes there? Paintings are not porn, for heaven’s sake, and every artist any of us admire painted from nude models in art school as part of their training AND HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR CENTURIES! Of all the things to get one’s knickers in a twist about, nudes generously donated to raise funds for METCO.

Maybe a better way would be to let people know that there are some paintings of nudes being sold, and offering to send them pix only if they request? I know this is going to open a barrage of emails saying that I am a prude, and that the human body is beautiful and worthy of art, ya de ya de, but I'm just sayin'.....Anne Warner On Thu, Apr 28, 2022 at 2:40 PM Joanna Owen Schmergel via Lincoln <[email protected]> wrote: For sale, with 100% of all proceeds going to the Lincoln METCO Coordinating Committee, a 501(c)3 here in Lincoln: Charlotte Wein signed original oil painting of nude, drawn from life 24.5” X 36.5” $168 About the artist: Charlotte Wein was born in New York City in the 1940’s. She was an art major at Brooklyn College and she studied art at the Brooklyn Museum Art School, which was open for 100 years.
