Is nude art offensive?

I joined an Art website a long time ago. Obviously, an Art website will contain many various art topics. And the topic of nudity will be involved, for sure. I checked out some of the nude art pictures, and there are quite many comments from the viewer (mostly women) claim that they are feeling offended because of the nudity. And they think that it is a form of sexual harassment or indirectly sexual assault, because, well, the artist was mostly male. Honestly, I really enjoy any kind of art because it is art. And art has no right or wrong. Sadly, this world is now destroying the beauty of the art.

Since when art becomes a kind of offensive of sexual abuse? I feel bad for those male artists though. They just want to express their passion through art, and those people criticize them.

Here is one of the nude art that cause women offended. Let me know what do you think about this?

It doesn’t feel like pornography to me but I am a male. I can see women not being comfortable with it though.
Art affects us at our deepest emotional levels and who knows what can provoke someone to feel violated.

You are a very deep person that doesn’t accept things at first glance.
That will serve you well as an adult.
