The program was so named after a quote from the famous Magnum agency photographer Eve Arnold, who wrote about photographing actress Joan Crawford in New York in the 1950s: “There she was nude – but sadly, something happens to flesh after 50.”
In 1963 Arbus shot a series of photographs of nudists which included images such as A y oung waitress at a nudist camp, N.J. 1963 1963, printed after 1971 (Tate AR00526) and Retired man and his wife in a nudist camp one morning, N.J. 1963 1963 (Tate AR00510). In these images, and throughout her work, the contrast between normality and abnormality is a critical theme. With her direct, unapologetic approach to her portraits she explores varieties of human physicality and identity that do not conform to traditional societal expectations. By removing the theatrical veneer of convention and portraying the couple in a manner true to their identity, Arbus challenges the viewer’s expectations of what constitutes a portrait.

Participants could remain anonymous by using a prop to cover their face - animal masks were popular.

The women who seemed very relaxed talked about how nudity was not an issue in their house when growing up,” Hawkes observes. “Some other women said they hadn’t taken their clothes off in front of anyone for a long time.”
year-old Alicia Silverstone bared it all for a good cause on Dec 20 in a PETA campaign against animal leather. “I never, ever, get naked in TV, in film, nothin’, never, nope — but I’ve done it for PETA because that’s how much it matters to me,” she said in the campaign’s behind the scenes video. She added, “I’d rather go naked than wear animals.” In the final picture, Silverstone is seen wearing nothing but cowboy boots as she covers herself up in a sexy pose in a cactus field.
You wake up in a dark room, you have a headache and it feels like someone have hit you in the head.
