Picasso's Les Demoiselles D'Avignon which translates to the prostitutes of Avignon street consists of naked women in Picasso's impressionistic distorted manner against a wall or perhaps a building. This painting is hung in the Museum of Modern Art here in New York where it's in high regards for it's contribution to the art community; and obviously because it's the Great Picasso's work.
However, on the other hand R.C Horsch's photography is considered to be pornographic. His work is bondage themed, with nude bodies in cages, a bit raunchy at times. But is raunchy necessarily pornographic? Personally I prefer Horsch's work to Picasso' not because I am a photographer, but because eventhough it's more in your face, it has so much more laying under the surface.
My question is, where does the separation become fact and who determines that?
