If we are to select any genre of painting that has got favour and protest in equal proportion, surely it would be the art of figurative painting. Especially the paintings of women in their natural beauty have remained the cause of concern for the society, the artists and the viewers.
From the time we cannot trace out, artists have tried adoring the beauty embedded in human body. May it be the paintings of Venus, the Goddess of love, may it be carvings on the walls of temples at Khajuraho India, or may it be the statues of marbles from ancient Roman period: the artists are equally fascinated by the natural beauty of human figure.
