Hello all, I only have a few of these art works, they do not fit into my "Costumes and Uniforms" theme. I think that I have some Soviet era nudes and some, maybe from Hungary, I will have to look. These from Romania. Date of issue: 1969-03-22 Regards, James.
Nice ones, I like it because it represents some paintings of well now Romanian painters here. Thanks for sharing!
I guess we won't ever have such sets released from Malaysia as such stamps would cause some huge uproar.
I think "acts" should be a sub - theme for arts subject on stamps. I havent seen any other nude stamps
I recall UAE have also quite an impressive series of Nudes, which is a bit amusing when you replace in the context. will have to dig in my albums
Is it a correct observation that male painters painted female nudes while male sculptors sculpted both nude males and females? The stamp Makanudo illustrated has a strange setting. It appears to be a domestic scene, but did young women normally sit at the table only partially clothed? Another observation regarding paintings of nude women -- they all seem to be of young women, never old women. There seems to be an element of the erotic involved here, but then maybe older women had better sense than to sit for these paintings. I also agree with Kamatsuram's amusement about nudism in the UAE. Seems a little out of place there. Don

Where are the stamps with 'Nude' animals? IMO, naked Otters, sans bikinis are 'Hot'! (Just a thought) HGG
Don, your observation is wrong.Just take Dürer´s works f.i. The Bhutan stamp Makanudo showed,depicts a painting of Francois Clouet a Netherlander,who became French in 1541. The painting is titled "Lady in the Bath".Possibly Diane de Poitiers,mistress of Henri II or Marie Touchet,mistress of Charles IX. Like in Roman times,the bath in the Middle-Ages was not just a place of cleaning,but more a wellness place. Food,entertainment and socializing were quite common. You have a good chance to see the original painting,because it hangs in the "National Gallery of Arts" in Washington D.C.
