Nude photography did not begin with "Playboy." Until the advent of photographic reproduction in the mid-nineteenth century, portrayal of the naked body - preferably female - was the painter's prerogative. Whereas painting usually veiled sensuality with religious or mythological connotations, nude photography revealed it directly and without inhibition. Although classic poses from the fine arts are often copied, the photographic model's inviting expression or lascivious gesture addresses the observer much more immediately.
