Does that make it acceptable?

I don't mean to come across as an ultra-conservative freak, I'm just
questioning your logic here.  Does the fact that something is prevalent in
our society make it _right_?  From a personal point of view, I disagree with
nudity in art (and I think clothing, even a bathrobe, would have made the
picture perfectly acceptable), though I do agree that this particular image
is art and not pornography (and better done than most uses of nudity).  Just
because I disagree with the author does not mean I don't believe it's art, I
just think that I would prefer the image in a slightly different form.  Of
course, that's my personal opinion, and everyone else is under no obligation
to accept it.
