Appreciation

“… but in order for that healthier attitude towards oneself, there has to first be some healing. Self-loathing has to be shut down, and an appreciation for out bodies must occur.” —RB Mears, https://x.com/rbmears1/status/1787545035208282431?s=46&t=fpiEy5CqbBOXR1N66BxSTw “Our bodies, apart from their brilliant role as drawing exercises, are the temples of our being. Like the bodies of all fauna, they deserve both our study and our appreciation.” —Robert Genn “There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body. In fact it is not only among artists but among all people that a greater appreciation and respect for the human body should develop. When we respect the nude we will no longer have any shame about it.” — Robert Henri, The Art Spirit
