Original Sex Positive Girl



Site da Vogue comenta sobre recente postagem de Madonna sobre suas fotos nua, seu poder sobre seu corpo e sua imagem. Afinal, nudez somos nós mesmos.

If there's anything certain in the ever-shifting landscape of pop culture, it's this: You just can't keep Madonna down. Or at least that was the first adage that came to mind upon a quick scroll through Instagram yesterday, which found the icon sharing a throwback capture of herself in the buff, the snap accompanied by a timeless message of empowerment.
The stylized, black-and-white photograph featured a young, nude, Madge posing demurely, her shoulder-skimming waves worn finger-raked, rumpled, and endearingly frizzed, the words "Rebel Heart" scrawled across the image. "I am 19. Living in NYC. A student at Martha Graham School of Dance," explains Madonna in the caption. "I modeled for art schools around the city to pay the rent. Painting, drawing and photography classes." Once famous, the subsequent images, apparently, were snapped up by publications in an effort to shame the burgeoning star, a tactic to which she responded to with a shrug and simple statement: "I am not ashamed.” The bold image became the focus of Untitled, a 1985 art collaboration between Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Madonna now owns four of their paintings.
In an era where body confidence and sex positivity are finally (though, for many, still too slowly) becoming commonplace, looking to champions of the effort is a worthwhile endeavor. For Madonna, exploitation and admonishment only bolstered her irreverence, as well as her desire to revel in her sexuality (her 1984 performance of "Like a Virgin" at the VMAs springs immediately to mind). The moral of this story, according to the icon herself? "You cannot stop Art by trying to Shame it. Creation always wins."
