Since the beginning of Postmodern, nude in paintings has decreased its reality, that is to say, its power. I think there are two reasons for the nude to be vague in art anymore. One is a pressure from equalitarians such as feminists condemning femal nude, and another is a tendency towards abstract art.

I am now living in Amsterdam, which is one of the multicultural cities, and enjoying to see thousands of realistic nude and portraits. For me, they have more attraction and power to move people than something muddy abstract artworks. Since they are really real, they make us really think. Don't you think this realism, where we can see faces and bodies of human being clearly has some possibilities to open up a new way for 'dead' Postmodern art?
