A visit to a gallery showing nude paintings could be an opportunity for assessing the nude artworks in their purely artistic terms. An artist or an art-lover who is educated into the art of painting would see these nudes in different perspectives, different than those who look at such artworks out of curiosity or voyeurism only. The nudes male or female may be in different positions, depicting the beauties of the human bodies as painted by the artists.  

Looking to a fine art nude is a respectable activity; whereas viewing similar photographs depicting merely sex is not. We can say it like this: when the element of sex is removed from an artwork, it is fine art nude, enjoyable as an art piece.  

For a true art-lover the nude body of a male of female is a matter of delicate flesh tones. The nude body parts coloured by an artist is not an aspect of allurement for the eyes of the viewers, but it is the depiction of the sophisticated composition that a painter has composed. Like a poet composes a poem; an artist also composes a painting of nude male or female. Words are the tools for a poet and a writer; the colours, canvas and brushes are the tools of a painter. The common source for all of such artists and the poets and writers is the element of imagination. 

When we look any painting, we would certainly tend to compare it with other similar paintings we saw in past. Thus the viewing of paintings of nude females would give us an opportunity for comparing it with other masterpieces. It would be a good reference to the other nude paintings.
