One of the nudes on display at New York York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art has been arrested for not being 2D enough.
Photographer Zach Hyman’s spree of exhibitionist photography went unmolested throughout New York, but when he dared to display his nude model amidst the nudes of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the gallery swiftly had his model arrested for public indecency.
Having gained recognition from his subway voyeurism shoot recently the 22-year-old Hyman (pictured above in a black shirt and a canvas bag) took to preparing another shoot amongst the collection of nude works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The model was however detained by museum security and turned over to the police. Hyman evaded detainment, and with his attorney’s number on speed-dial and a pocketful of bail money, even makes plans ahead of time in the event of his own arrest during each shoot he takes.
The model, a volunteer, is charged with public lewdness for exposing herself to a crowd of museum-goers, who appeared to be giving more attention to her ‘performance art’ than the other art on display at the Met.
“It’s not pornography,” said Hyman, “it’s not women with their legs spread. It’s a pose — it’s a study on the human form.”
An interview with Hyman revealed this particular shoot took weeks of planning, even though his works typically last no more than 30 seconds from the time it takes the model to strip off.
“Why is this wrong? There were thousands of people in the Met today looking at nudes as art, but as soon as there is a real nude, it’s a big problem,” said Hyman.

hypocrisy at its best...
And the award for lagest missing of the point of art goes to: The Staff of the Met!!!!!!
In lieu of a trophy they receive a swift kick in the nuts
Damn Usaians and their fear for nipples. They should just die out!
The only thing good that the MET is for is to shoot movies like the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair in . . .
He should have just put her nudes on deviantart like every other person who thinks getting naked in front of a camera is "art".
I can't stand people like him. He's not doing it for art, he's just doing it to troll moralfags and get attention.
God if a girl wants to be in a porno its her choice just like its your choice to look at the porno if you dont like it do not look so dont go saying its degrading when they made there choice.
The fact that her ass is pixelated just makes me feel despair. If she was lying on the floor, with her vagina spread for all to see, I'd understand but still disapprove. But its just her but cheeks...
modern art is a fucking joke, I mean look at Tracey Emin. Should there be rules to art? No, but it should have to reach a certain standard.
I think digital artists should be the fine artists, not these clowns.
Why Spencer Tunic didn't has this problem?
Sure glad the police are solving real crimes, instead of intervening on a PRIVATE, INDOOR, NON-COMPULSORY event.
Also the human body is not a crime, indecent, lewd, or obscene.
Narrow minded bitches all deserve to die. I want the world's end NOW.
NOT YET!!! I am still in the middle of several manga/anime...
Hyper Police! Excellent choice sir.
Once you go green, you can never go back.
Who could want the world to end when there are still adorable imaginary green haired catgirls around?
Imagine the performance art the Major could provide.
Should I bring a raincoat?
It would be advised if you have an aversion to the Bukkake.
One performance is called Bukkake Fountain.
Another I refer to as Palm Surprise!
I'll bring galoshes, let me know sizes needed.
Tiedupinknots, would you be interested in a collaboration? Special Exhibition!!! Bukkake Bondage!!!
So, if some take nude pictures of little girls, can it be considered a study on the human form?
Get back in the box.
Yes but you won't be fooling anyone with that excuse.
Yes. Yes it can.
This is the kind of crap that happens when your last name is Hyman.
She got arrested because New York citizens prefers 2D not 3D, simple as that.
What about the statues...they're 3D.
There is truth in this statement
I think we're turning Japanese, I think we're turning Japanese, I really think so (do do do do, do, do, do do)
Female nude arts are my favorites (^_^)v
Jeebus, what are they planning to ban next? Abstract art for being incomprehensible?
That is a mighty fine idea. Let's ban abstract art. I hate that bullshit.
good idea... but make that crappy art like a dot on a canvas 'for being boring'
lol that made me laugh for a moment~
if my penis says naked women is art then it's art
I dare challenge you to fap to a whale, good sir.
May the sickest man win i guess.
And go consult your nearest psychologist, u beastiality psycho :)
his name is hyman? i see what he did there.
I bet the cops can't wait to bust him.
LMFAO!
lolol true that!
Damn those femminazis!!
...Is that correct? XD
"Concept: Human body is a great(if not greatest) form of art"
That depends on who's body your using. If you're using a beautiful person that takes good care of their body then it could be considered art but if you're using some cheap whore that you picked up off the internet then it's not art.
XD LOLs
"That depends on who’s body your using. If you’re using a beautiful person that takes good care of their body then it could be considered art but if you’re using some cheap whore that you picked up off the internet then it’s not art."
That's not entirely accurate either. Because of laws pertaining to female nudity & the like many of the great classic artists often had a hard time even getting models to sit for them, many times they simply employed prostitutes to model for them. It is even speculated that DaVinci's Mona Lisa may have been a prostitute.
Ultimately what matters is not the appearance of the model but the way the subject is portrayed in the piece that make it "artistic" vs "pornographic" material.
tl;dr Nude Art is art because of the artist's interpretation of the subject material, not the model.
Concept: Human body is a great(if not greatest) form of art
Comparing famous sculptures that must have taken a shit load of time and talent to make to some whore who just takes off her clothes?
Michaelangelo's David celebrated its 500th birthday in 2004, with over 5 centuries of public penis exposure to the world. The Venus de Milo, one of the most prominent displays in the most famous museum in the world (Louvre), shows a topless woman with no arms and only a delicate piece of cloth around her thighs - every rapist's dream.
Yet we can't see ONE naked 3D?
so MonaLisa is basically a whore
that's nice to know
Intent is as important in art as results.
Damn, beat me to it.
