sometimes the world is like a cognitive stripclub

In his book on the nude,
Kenneth Clark says that being naked
is simply being without clothes.
The nude, according to him,
is a form of art.
 I  would put it differently:
           to be naked is to be oneself;
            to be nude is to be seen naked by others
             and yet not recognised for oneself.
              A nude has to be seen as an object
                in order to be a nude.

and I think now I will go back to his books
