Who there claims that opera is not modern, outdated art? Let him tell this to the organizers and guests of the Munich Opera Festival, as well as to the photographer Spencer Tunick and hundreds of people who took part in it performance The Ringdedicated to the opening of the Festival.
Photographer and artist Spencer Tanik is world renowned for his multiple series of photographs depicting large numbers of naked people. His next similar photo session in the style of mass nude took place the other day in the Bavarian capital Munich and was dedicated to the beginning of the Opera Festival.
The Munich Opera Festival has been held annually for one hundred and thirty-five years in a row. And, despite such a venerable age, every year it attracts more and more attention and more and more viewers.
Moreover, within its framework, not only shows of the greatest operas in the entire history of Mankind, as well as recently created works, are held, but also many other events, for example, performances.
One of the performances within the framework of this Festival this year was also conducted by the photographer Spencer Tanik. To do this, he gathered several thousand seven hundred people, exposed them, painted them in red and gold, and then released them onto the streets of Munich.
The Ring performance is dedicated to the main event of the Munich Opera Festival this year - the staging of Richard Wagner's classic "Ring of the Nibelungen" at the Bavarian State Opera House.
The nude people who participated in the performance of The Ring reproduced on the streets of Munich some of the mass scenes from the "Ring of the Nibelungen", and at the end everyone stood in a circle around the monument on the square in front of the Bavarian State Opera House, thus justifying the name of the art event and conveying a kind of "Hello" to Wagner.

Why the Itinerants disowned the artist Bodarevsky and removed his canvases from the opening days
The Wanderers are a special caste of Russian artists who have left behind a most valuable legacy in the treasury of world art. Who does not remember the names of the most prominent of them. But today I would like to recall the forgotten name of the Itinerant, whom colleagues in the workshop considered completely alien in their midst. And, if it were the will of some of them, the gifted portrait painter Nikolai Kornilievich Bodarevsky was expelled from the partnership. For what he fell into disgrace with his colleagues and why they could not exclude the "negligent

Forbidden and Permissible in Islamic Painting: From Fine Miniatures of the Past to Modern Nudes
It has long been believed that in the countries of the Islamic world, the image of living beings, including people, is prohibited by religion. Is it really? On the one hand, artists are, as it were, allowed to depict living creatures, including their own kind, and on the other, there really is a kind of veto that prohibits not only the art of portraiture itself, but the very attitude towards it. Today I would like to shed light on these conflicting speculations
Ambiguity, light nudes and "something hysterical": Paintings by Franz von Stuck
The paintings of Franz von Stuck fascinate and frighten, attract attention and at the same time repel - all thanks to how the artist accurately and naturalistically portrayed abstract, allegorical, myths and legends concepts.

And, of course, due to the fact that among the works of von Stuck, paintings with the image of the naked body predominate
